This research aims to identify trend in the development of Library and Information Science in Indonesia through scientific journals of Library and Information Science having been indexed by SINTA (Indeks Sains dan Teknologi) during 2013-2019. This research is a quantitative research using bibliometrics method. Population in this research is 741 articles published on 8 (eight) journals, Berkala Ilmu Perpustakaan dan Informasi published by Universitas Gadjah Mada, Jurnal Kajian Informasi dan Perpustakaan published by Universitas Padjadjaran, Jurnal Ilmu Informasi, Perpustakaan dan Kearsipan published by Universitas Indonesia, Edulib Journal Perpustakaan dan Ilmu Informasi published by Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Jurnal BACA: Jurnal Dokumentasi dan Informasi published by Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia, Khizanah Al-Hikmah: Jurnal Ilmu Perpustakaan, Informasi, dan Kearsipan published by Universitas Islam Negeri Alauddin Makassar, Lentera Pustaka: Jurnal Kajian Ilmu Perpustakaan, Informasi, dan Kearsipan published by Universitas Diponegoro, and Record and Library Journal published by Universitas Airlangga during the period of 2013-2019. Research trend of Library and Information Science from 2013 to 2019 shows most topics discussed are Library and Information Science (LIS) 27.68%, Information Science Research (17.21%), and Subject Specific Sources and Applications (13.40%). The interesting finding is percentage of collaborative research is higher than individual research, 54.93%.

Role Of Information

Mixed methods research integrates qualitative and quantitative research approaches in many or all phases of a study to comprehensively address a research problem by collecting quantitative and qualitative data concurrently or in phases with the aim to maximizing their inherent advantages while minimizing their disadvantages. Many disciplines are embracing mixed methods research. Library and information science research is lagging behind in the adoption and use of mixed methods research. That might be due to limited access to the literature on the subject or difficulties in dealing with the relative lack of consistency and incomplete coherence among mixed methods researchers. This chapter traces the common characteristics and designs of mixed methods research, its growth, and application in research. It provides a framework to design, execute, and evaluate mixed methods research studies so that library and information science researchers and researchers from other fields may play a role in its development and application.

Comparative Review

The study is an attempt to understand the trends in LIS research by analyzing published literature on the topic. The study identifies and analyses 39 research papers on LIS research trends in various countries, three papers on LIS research trends in regional countries and 13 papers on LIS research trends with an international perspective. The findings of the study reveal that there is a similarity among various countries as far as the LIS research topics are concerned but with a different focus at different periods. While understanding international research trends in LIS, it was interesting to note that the research trend in China was similar to the worldwide research trend while the pattern in other countries differed.

Purpose This study aims to find out the average journal packing density (JPD) of Library and Information Science (LIS) research journals published across the world. The concept, JPD, means the average number of research articles published by a research journal in one volume. Accordingly, the undergoing study evaluates the average number of research articles published in each volume of each research journal published in the field of LIS at the global level. Some other key aspects evaluated include the number of LIS research journal publishing countries, average JPD of LIS research journals at the continental level, etc. Design/methodology/approach This study is purely based on secondary data retrieved from SCImago, which is SCOPUS data. Keeping in view the objectives of this study, the data about research articles published in all LIS research journals during the period 2015 through 2019 were retrieved to undertake the study. Findings From the data analysis, it emerged that 256 research journals duly indexed by SCOPUS are published in the field of LIS across 36 countries. In all 48,596 research articles were published from 2015 to 2019 in these research journals at an average of 44.71 research articles per journal per volume. More than 75% of LIS research journals are published from Germany, Spain, Netherlands, the USA and the UK. Research journals published from the USA have higher JPD of 53.09 research articles per journal per volume, which is 18.74% higher than the average global JPD of LIS research journals. 50% of LIS research journal publishing countries are from Europe and the majority 52.55% LIS research articles were published in European LIS research journals. The average JPD of LIS research journals published from North America is 51.73 research articles per journal per volume, which is the highest across continents. Research limitations/implications Standardization of JPD of research journals irrespective of the subject discipline they are published in is important for many reasons and the foremost being, such standardization helps in keeping at bay the predatory research journals, which normally float such packing density norms, with the sole aim to earn money in the shape of manuscript handling charges, thereby publishing a far greater number of research article in each issue of a journal than the average research articles published by a research journal. Originality/value Very few studies have been conducted around the concept JPD, especially by the authors of this particular study. This study has however been particularized to the LIS subject discipline, while the findings add to existing lot of study already undertaken, hence outcome can be generalized.
