A Bibliometric Analysis of the Journal of Bhutan Studies, 1999-2017.

This paper describes a 19-year bibliometric dimensions and characteristics of the Journal of Bhutan Studies (JBS), from the earliest available data in 1999, to 2017. The result of the bibliometric analysis is based on two methodologies, namely descriptive statistics for quantifiable bibliometric characteristics, and impact analysis using both Garfield's formula and Harzing's Publish or Perish (PoP) software citation analysis program. Longitudinal trends were examined regarding the number of articles published, the number of citations received, the immediacy index, and the journal's impact factor. A list of most prolific authors and highly cited articles were also established, including geographic distribution and subject matter of the articles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
