Abstract

The present study evaluates the authorship and collaboration pattern of conference proceedings with particular reference to the 67th Indian Library Association conference, 2022. A total of 130 contributions were published in this proceeding, out of which a single author published 22 papers and 108 papers were published by two or more than two authors. It is clear from the study that multiple authorship patterns are prominent in the 67th ILA conference proceedings. In the study, it has been counted that the average coefficient index was 2.21, the average degree of collaboration was 0.83, the average collaboration coefficient was 0.47, the average modified collaboration coefficient was 0.47, the average relative growth rate was 0.20, and the average time to double was 5.28.
