The present study analyses the various pattern of articles in the journal “Library and Information Science Research” over a period of 10 years from 2008 to 2017. A total number of 381 research communications from the journal published in Elsevier was retrieved and examined using well-established bibliometrics indicators. The study reveals that the journal publishes a slightly equal number of articles in each year per volume/issues. The average number of authors per issue was 19.45 during the study period. The highest numbers of 163 (42.78%) articles have jointly contributed by two authors followed by single authors with 131(34.38%) articles. The degree of collaboration falls from 0.53 to 0.75. The average number of references per article is 44.50. The study further investigates that 80.31% of the total articles were published with a length less than 10 pages. The highest number of authors contributed to the journal from the United States of America with 395 (50.99%) contributors followed by Australia (66, 8.48%), Canada (45, 5.78%).
