This study presents a comprehensive scientometric analysis of global research on Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) from 2020 to 2024. Utilizing bibliographic metadata from 431 open access journal articles indexed in the Scopus database, the research maps publication trajectories, key contributors, collaborative networks, and thematic evolution. Analytical tools, including Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and statistical modelling, were employed to assess productivity, citation impact, co-authorship patterns, and keyword cooccurrence. Findings reveal fluctuating yet sustained growth in scholarly output, peaking in 2022, followed by a temporary decline in 2023 and a recovery in 2024, indicating a dynamic and policy sensitive research domain. China, the United Kingdom, and the United States emerge as the leading national contributors, with Chongqing University and Kunming University of Science and Technology dominating institutional productivity. Co-authorship and bibliographic coupling analyses highlight semi-centralized collaboration networks characterized by distinct interdisciplinary clusters focused on battery optimization, energy management, and charging infrastructure. While publication output demonstrates moderate geographic and institutional concentration, author level productivity remains relatively distributed. The citation network underscores the pivotal role of multidisciplinary journals like Energies and IEEE Access in shaping scholarly discourse. Overall, PHEV research is transitioning from a specialized niche into a globally interconnected, multidisciplinary field. The study concludes by recommending future investigations integrate patent data, funding mechanisms, and longitudinal comparisons with full electric vehicles to better inform sustainable transportation policy and technological innovation.

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of Library and Information Science (LIS) dictionaries published in India between 1960 and 2022. Drawing on a purposively sampled dataset of 80 reference works, the research examines authorship patterns, subject diversity, publishing dynamics, geographic distribution, temporal trends, and format preferences. Data were systematically compiled from library catalogues, publisher archives, and institutional repositories, and analysed using frequency distributions, Shannon's Diversity Index, Gini coefficients, and non parametric statistical tests. Results reveal a highly centralized yet steadily expanding lexicographic landscape. The Commission for Scientific Technical Terminology (CSTT) emerges as the most prolific contributor, while single authorship accounts for 75% of publications. Thematic analysis indicates moderate to high subject diversity (Evenness = 0.835), though outputs remain heavily skewed toward encyclopedic compilations and English Hindi bilingual works. Publisher distribution exhibits moderate market concentration (Gini = 0.276), with Ess Ess Publications leading the sector. Geographically, New Delhi dominates as the publishing hub (73.75%), and temporal data confirm uninterrupted decadal growth since the 1980s, peaking in 2010-2019. Additionally, 87.5% of titles are single-volume formats. The study concludes that while Indian LIS lexicography has matured significantly, critical gaps persist in specialized subfields, multilingual accessibility, and digital integration. Strategic recommendations include developing web based terminological platforms, expanding polyglot references, and fostering institutional collaboration to standardize vocabulary and enhance scholarly interoperability in the evolving information landscape.

This systematic study examines the literature on work life balance (WLB) among library professionals to identify publication trends, influencing factors, challenges, and evidence based interventions. Following PRISMA guidelines, 46 peer reviewed documents published between 2008 and 2025 were retrieved from the Web of Science database. Statistical analyses, including Poisson regression and Chi-square tests, revealed a statistically significant upward trend in scholarly output, particularly accelerating after 2020. However, the research landscape remains geographically skewed, heavily dominated by the United States and the United Kingdom, and hyper concentrated within the Journal of Academic Librarianship. The synthesis identifies a clear hierarchy of WLB determinants. Organizational constraints, specifically heavy workloads (cited in all 46 studies) and workplace inflexibility (41 studies), emerge as the most pervasive barriers, closely followed by family related responsibilities. Consequently, library staff universally report profound challenges, including stressful work environments, declining health, and lack of concentration. In response, the literature demonstrates strong consensus on critical interventions: implementing flexible workschedules (45 studies), continuous skill development programs, formal WLB policies, and equitable shift duties. Ultimately, this review underscores that WLB in the library and information science sector is not merely an individual responsibility but a structural imperative. Library administrators and policymakers must prioritize tangible institutional reforms such as equitable workload distribution and supportive workplace infrastructure to mitigate burnout, enhance job satisfaction, and ensure long term career sustainability and high quality information services.
