Abstract Biofiltration is a superior method of pollution control technologies among the various physical, chemical and biological methods. This process uses active microorganisms and to degrade pollutants produce innocuous end products. Microbes present in the filter materials used in remove of contaminants from the air effectively. A total of 1386 bibliographic records from the Web of Science (WoS) database were extracted and analyzed to report the analysis of scientific state of the authors, journals, countries, and categories. Histcite and VoSviewer software’s are used for analyzing records. In the study, we have analyzed annual contribution, authorship pattern, type of document, language, degree of collaboration, Collaborative index, Co-author index, relative growth rate and doubling time, Bradfords law, h-index, subject wise, countries and co-occurrence keywords. The results indicate that USA and China are the most contributing countries in biofiltration. This study therefore, provides an extensive understanding about the trends and research patterns of biofilter of air efforts worldwide. Finally, research gaps and environment pollution issues are highlighted and the scope for future also discussed.

A scientometric evaluation of India’s scientific productions in the field of biological science during 1901-1947 has been performed. The growth rate, authorship pattern, collaboration trend, and prolific researchers (male and female) of biological science literature is investigated. From the result it is found that the mean relative growth rate and duplication time is 0.615 and 1.007 respectively for the period 1901-1945. The calculated results follow the spirit of the ‘Price Law’ i.e. the coefficient of determination of the exponential plot is greater than that of the linear plot. About 75 per cent papers are single-authored and the degree of collaboration is 0.249. The Collaborative author index (CAI) for single author shows decreasing trend while for two author and more than two author shows increasing trend. The data set derived from this study follows Lotka’s law of author productivity. The productivity of ten most productive researchers together contributed 15 per cent publication share. It is also found that the productivity of women researchers together contributed 0.62 per cent publication share in biological science research.

The combination of a nonthermal, atmospheric plasma with a catalyst is investigated as a means of destroying pollutants in waste gas streams. Using the examples of dichloromethane (DCM) and toluene in air streams, it is shown that the destruction of the pollutant can be increased whilst lowering the operating temperature, giving increasing energy efficiency. Unwanted by-products can also be reduced selectively by appropriate choice of catalyst and of the plasma–catalyst configuration. By studying the temperature dependence of plasma catalysis, some ideas can be obtained about the nature of the interaction between plasma and catalyst in the processing.

This paper attempts a scientometric analysis of literature in the field of genetic diversity in India over 5 years (2013-2017). A total of 1417 records and 5960 unique authors are identified. The study characterizes growth output, Authorship pattern, Collaboration pattern, Citation pattern, institutional status etc. Many of the publications have received worldwide attention of various researchers, policymakers, and planners. The number of papers was maximum in the year 2016. Average publication per year is 283. Multi-authored papers dominated over single authorship. The study was analysed by using HistCite software.

The present study aims to analysis authorship pattern and collaboration coefficient of library professional’s competency publications research from 1999-2018. The data has been downloaded by Scopus database. A total number of published articles during the period of study was 433 in the particular database on the topic of ‘professional’s competency’. The study examine various scientometric parameter such as authorship pattern, year wise distribution of publication, determine the annual growth rate and compound annual growth rate of publication, relative growth rate and doubling time of publication and so many. After the analysis, it is found that the highest 11.78% of an article published in the year 2015. The highest growth rate in 2000 and the lowest in 1999. The United States published highest 174 article and secured first place in top five countries wish distribution of the publication. Majority of the article is published by single authors is 171 articles during the period of study.

This is a review of the bibliographic index “Bibliographic Activity of the Russian State Library” released by the publishing house “Pashkov Dom” in 2021. The new index has been drawn up by the experts from the Research Department of Bibliography of the Russian State Library (RSL). This unique book serves as a social memory of one of the largest libraries both in this country and worldwide. We might regard this information resource as a kind of chronicle of the RSL Reference and Bibliographic Service, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2018. The structural and substantive analyse of the methodological features of the index as well as the criteria for the selection of material have been carried out. The publication consists of two parts (“Literature on the bibliographic activity of the library” and “Publications of the library on bibliographic theory and practice”) and includes 1709 bibliographic records.The book can be used as an example for creating similar works, and it is a comprehensive toolkit for scientometric analysis of the library’s bibliographic activity.
