The present study is an evaluation of the authorship and collaboration pattern in the International Journal of Information Dissemination and Technology (IJIDT) during 2011-2022. A total of 563 contributions were published during the study period out of which 175 articles are published by a single author and 388 articles are published by two or more two authors. It is clear from the study that multiple authorship patterns are prominent in the IJIDT journal. In the study it has been counted that the average degree of collaboration was 1.81, the average collaboration coefficient was 0.40, the average modified collaboration coefficient was 0.40, the average relative growth rate was 0.21, and the average time to double was 5.15. The highest activity index for India is counted in the years 2015, 2016, and 2021 respectively, and the lowest activity index is counted in 2014. The highest world activity index has been counted in the year 2014 which is 265.07 and the lowest is 0.00 in the years 2105, 2016, and 2021 respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relative growth rate (RGR) and doubling time (Dt) of journal publications on the productivity of bibliometrics and scientometrics research at the world level from 1969 to 2022 and the Indian level from 1983 to 2022 are considered for this study. It was discovered that the search results for articles published in journals received 36328 and 2771 publications at the global and Indian level respectively. It is found from the results of the study that the decreasing trend in RGR and increasing rate of Dt in publications suggests that growth is not exponential. The global relative growth of bibliometric and scientometric articles declined from 0.693 in 1970 to 0.207 in 2022, while the doubling time increased from 1.000 in 1970 to 3.352 in 2022. The significant results of the study revealed that the number of journal publications from India is increasing linearly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
