The study critically analyses the 309 research articles published in the Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery during the span of ten years from 2009 to 2018. It is an online open access journal and the required data for the study were downloaded from its website. The data were analysed with the help of MS Excel, and bibliometric indicators such as year-wise distribution, relative growth rate, authorship collaboration and length of articles have been applied for the analysis. The study reveals that the maximum numbers of articles were contributed by multiple authors and that Indian authors have contributed more number of articles during period of study. The length of the articles published in the Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery during the period of study was three to sixteen pages.

The ultimate purpose of the present study is to explore the bibliometric analysis of the LIBRI:International Journal of Libraries and Information Services journal during the period of 2011-2015. The analysis covers sundry features of the journal such as as its yearly output of articles, subject distributions, geographical distributions of authors, authorship patterns, relative growth rate and double time of publication. The result concludes that 140 research articles were appeared in the LIBRI journal during the stipulated span i.e. 2011-2015, in which 63 (45%) articles were contributed by a single author whereas 77 (55%) articles were multi-authored. In the study, the average degree of author collaboration was 0.55 and it gamut from 0.57 to 0.58.

Seedlings of 24 European Scots pine (Pinussylvestris L.) populations were grown in controlled environment chambers under simulated photoperiodic conditions of 50 and 60°N latitude to evaluate the effect of seed mass on germination and seedling growth characteristics. Seeds of each population were classified into 1-mg mass classes, and the four classes per population with the highest frequencies were used. Photoperiod had minimal influence on seed mass effects. Overall, seed mass was positively related to the number of cotyledons and hypocotyl height. Populations differed significantly in seed mass effect on biomass. In northern populations (55–61°N), dry mass at the end of the first growing season was little affected by seed mass. However, dry mass in 9 of 15 central populations (54–48°N) and all southern (<45°N) populations correlated positively with seed mass. Relative growth rate was not related to seed mass within or across populations, and thus early growth is largely determined by seed mass. Relative growth rate also did not differ among populations, except for a geographically isolated Turkish population with the highest seed mass and lowest relative growth rate. After one growing season, height was positively correlated (r2 > 0.6) with seed mass in 15 populations. To check the duration of seed mass effects, height growth of 1- to 7-year-old field experiments established with the same seed lots were compared. Seed mass effects on height were strongest for 1-year-old seedlings and declined or disappeared by the age of 5–7 years among central and southern populations, but remained stable over that time in northern populations.
