authors. The highest 108 (10.11%) of research papers were published in the year 2016 and out of 1068 publications, the
maximum 398 of research papers were published by two authors. The maximum (300) annual growth rate was recorded in the
year 1997 and overall degree of collaboration is 0.81. The most prolific author on the digital library was Urs, S.R. with 13
