Authorship Trends of Research Articles Published in Seven Scientific, Technical, Engineering, and Medical (STEM) Library Journals: Analysis of STEM Library Research from 2011–2015
Science & Technology Libraries, 2017Co-Authors: Selenay Aytac, Bruce SlutskyAbstract:ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to examine the authorship patterns of research articles published in seven Scientific, Technical, Engineering, and Medical (STEM) library science journals. The following journals—Science & Technology Libraries, Issues in Science & Technology Librarianship, Journal of eScience Librarianship, Journal of Hospital Librarianship, Journal of the Medical Library Association, Medical Reference Services Quarterly, and Health Information and Libraries Journal—were studied by using bibliometric techniques for the five years from 2011 through 2015. Some of the variables we have examined include (1) authorship, (2) affiliation, (3) country of origin, and (4) topic of the research articles. The findings presented a unique opportunity to determine the current state of art in STEM Librarianship research by using the data gathered from seven prominent STEM library science journals.

bibliometric analysis and comparison of two stem lis journals science Technology libraries and issues in science Technology Librarianship 2005 2014
Science & Technology Libraries, 2016Co-Authors: Bruce Slutsky, Selenay AytacAbstract:ABSTRACTThe purpose of this article is to present a bibliometric analysis and a comparison of two journals that cover all aspects of STEM Librarianship: ISTL (Issues in Science & Technology Librarianship) and STL (Science & Technology Libraries). A recent 10 years of publications were selected to report many variables that describe and compare the bibliometric indicators of the publications and bibliographies. Each issue of these journals published from 2005 to 2014 were carefully examined, and nonresearch articles such as reviews, editorial boards, opinions, and columns were excluded from the study. A total of 338 research articles; 163 from STL and 175 from ISTL, have been analyzed. Findings presented a wide range of data such as subject coverage, nature of authorship, number and format distribution of the bibliographic citations, affiliations of the authors, etc. It is hoped that this bibliometric study will provide a concise review of these two STEM LIS journals as well as in-depth analysis of the res...

Publication Patterns of Science, Technology, and Medical Librarians: Review of the 2008–2012 Published Research
Science & Technology Libraries, 2014Co-Authors: Bruce Slutsky, Selenay AytacAbstract:This article reviews science Librarianship research from 2008–2012 by using the following four Library and Information Science (LIS) journals: Health Information & Libraries Journal, Issues in Science & Technology Librarianship, Journal of the Medical Library Association, and Science & Technology Libraries. The texts of 574 articles were analyzed and classified as research versus non-research. Articles, such as news, commentary, book reviews, editorials, meeting announcements and opinion pieces were excluded from the analysis. 311 (54.18 percent) research articles were examined in order to collect data on numerous variables including but not limited to authorship, affiliation, topic, type of research, data collection, data and analysis techniques.

A Tribute and BioBibliometric Study of Ellis Mount, the First Editor-in-Chief of Science & Technology Libraries
Science & Technology Libraries, 2012Co-Authors: Nestor L. Osorio, Bruce SlutskyAbstract:This paper is a memorial tribute and a biobibliometric analysis of the contributions of Ellis Mount to science, engineering, and Technology Librarianship. It starts with a biographical section, followed by three sections related to his work. An analysis is made of his contributions to the profession as an editor; as a bibliographer; and as an author. Ellis Mount edited several hundred articles, authored or edited at least fifty-eight monographs, oversaw the production of hundreds of other documents, and published an unnumbered amount of book reviews.

the affiliations of u s academic librarians in the most prominent journals of science engineering agricultural and medical Librarianship 2000 2010
Science & Technology Libraries, 2011Co-Authors: Amy Hardin, Tony StankusAbstract:After reviewing the literature of the differing approaches to evaluating the output of academic librarians and ranking their employing universities, the authors adapted features of the most widely cited study, Stephen J. Wiberley, Julie M. Hurd, and Ann C. Weller 2006 (WHW 2006), which covers a wide assortment of journals, to compile instead the affiliations of college and university authors in articles published between 2000–2010 in the journals most favored by American science, engineering, medical, and agricultural librarians. These journals included Science and Technology Libraries, Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, Journal of Agricultural and Food Information, Journal of the Medical Library Association, and Medical Reference Services Quarterly. Unlike many previous studies, it emphasizes the number of papers published, not the number of librarians it took to write them. The study demonstrates that the WHW 2006 top twenty did rather well in this more narrowly focused science-oriented jou...

Jumping onto the Bandwagon: New Librarians Navigating the Science/Technology Librarianship
2009Co-Authors: Nedelina TchangalovaAbstract:The terminology of engineering is daunting to the novice librarian without any science background. Library information school (LIS) students without training in scientific disciplines express concerns about pursuing a career in engineering Librarianship. Why don’t they get onto the science/Technology (sci/tech) bandwagon? What information and inspiration are necessary to sail toward the science and engineering horizons of our profession? A successful transition from graduate student to practicing engineering librarian requires a complex combination of knowledge and skills. The support and assistance of colleagues is critical and the establishment of support groups for various research needs can provide a mechanism for discussing common concerns. The author will discuss strategies to encourage science, engineering, and library students to pursue careers in science/engineering libraries and highlight ideas on recruitment and retention of new science and Technology librarians.
