Application of Bradford's Law of Scattering to the Literature of Stellar Physics

The present paper tests one of the important bibliometric laws of Bradford's Law of scattering for the literature related to ‘stellar physics’ for the period 1988–2013 as available in the Web of Science Core Collection database. A total of 2738 articles related to Stellar Physics published in journals in English language during the study period are retrieved. Data are analysed with respect to year-wise growth of articles, relative growth rate and doubling time of literature. The 2738 articles are scattered in 188 journals. A list of ranked journals was prepared and it was found that the Astrophysical Journal with 895 articles is the most productive journal publishing Stellar Physics literature followed by Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society with 507 articles and Astronomy and Astrophysics with 380 articles. In this study, theoretical aspects of Bradford's Law of Scattering are tested and found that the data do not fit to the present sample. The Leimkuhler model is tested and found to fit the data for the Bradford Multiplier (k) at 11.65. The Bradford law is also tested through graphical formulation by drawing the Bradford bibliograph and is found to confirm all the three characteristics.

Trends of Economic Growth and Population Change in Rajasthan: A District Level Panel Data Investigation

The present paper highlights the trends of economic growth in the economy of Rajasthan and discusses its relative share in the national economy of India. It reviews the trends of year-wise growth rate of per capita net national product in India, per capita net state domestic product for Rajasthan state and per capita net district domestic product for districts of Rajasthan for the period of 2004-05 to 2012-13. It is indicative of the fact that the economy of Rajasthan has registered many ups and downs in the growth trajectory, but the current decade is a period of fair stability and positive growth. Results of Random Effects Model suggest that one percentage point increase in population will be able to increase per capita NDDP by 1.125 percent for twenty nine districts of Rajasthan. District dummies show that higher per capita district domestic product districts like Rajsamand and Jaisalmer have a significant positive association while Jaipur, Alwar, Jodhpur, Barmer, Bharatpur and Sikar have a significant negative association with population. In low fifteen per capita income districts only Nagaur district was observed as negatively and significantly associated with population, while Baran, Bundi and Sirohi have been observed as significantly and positively associated with the population.
