Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: A quantitative investigation of information science publications indexed in Web of Science by scholars affiliated with Canadian institutions was conducted for the period 1989 to 2008 as a follow-up to a 1991 study conducted by Chu and Wolfram.The findings reveal essentially linear growth in the number of contributions, as institutions housing library and information science programs contribute the most publications.The largest growth was observed in the area of information behaviour, where greater levels of author and inter-institutional co-authorship have been observed in recent years.
