The paper examines 21397 global publications in cloud computing research, as covered in Scopus database during 2004–13. The annual average growth rate is 96.77%. The global cloud computing research output comes from several countries, of which the top 15 most productive accounts for 90.07% share of the global output. The largest share of output (24.12% and 21.96%) came from China and USA, followed by Germany, India, UK, Taiwan, Australia, Italy, Japan, etc. Austria registered highest share (49.83%) of international collaborative papers among the top 15 countries in cloud computing during 2004–13, Computer science contributed the largest share (79.06%) during 2004–13, followed by engineering (21.20%), mathematics (15.47%), social sciences (4.79%), etc. The top 25 organizations and 20 authors contributed 16.16% and 3.87% share to the global output during 2004–13. Conference proceedings (62.92%) and journals (22.05%) contributed the largest share to global output during 2004–13. The top 20 journals contributed 21.81% share to its total journal output during 2004–13. Only 71 publications (out of total global publications) have registered 100 or more citations since their publication till June 2014 registering an citation impact per paper of 216.68 during 2004–13.

The impact of knowledge explosion in various fields during the recent years has resulted in creation of vast amount of scientific literature. Food Science &Technology (FST) is also an important subject domain where rapid developments are taking place due to large and diverse research and development activities. Due to these, information storage and retrieval has become very complex and current information retrieval systems (IRs) are constrained in achieving a high precision with good response time. To overcome these constraints as well as provide natural language based effective context based retrieval mechanism, a knowledge engineering framework need to be applied to represent, share and discover information. Semantic web technologies provides the mechanism for creating knowledge based systems, ontologies and rules for handling the data, ultimately results in intelligent information retrieval. Ontologies are the backbone of these types of knowledge systems. Ontology is a knowledge represented on the basis of conceptualization that intends a description of object and concept sets and relations between them. The set of objects, and the description of relationship among them, reflected the representational vocabulary with which a knowledge-based program knowledge.

The ICT has influenced all the segment of library like collections, services and resources management. Today information became basic requirement for every human activity in present digital era. The academic libraries play a crucial role to support teaching, learning, and research process of university systems. With the changing scenario of ICT, they have always tried to show their ability to lead their academic roles i.e. satisfy the information needs of users. The users approaches and information seeking behaviors are changing with time dimension and technology revolution therefore analysis of users satisfaction is a very essential to evaluate library collection and services of Library. The present study is an attempt to examine the use of library collection and services by the PG students of school of physical sciences, MZU.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Rwanda are engaged in the business of providing advanced Internet services based on broadband connectivity across Rwanda. Network risk management process is the process of identifying, assessing, and controlling risks arising from network operational factors and making decisions. The main objective of the study was to analyze the effect of network risk management process on service delivery using Broadband Systems Corporation Company as a case. For data collection, a questionnaire was administered to the 148 selected respondents, 13 of whom were BSC Staff and 135 of them BSC Customers. Sampling methodology was based on stratified random sampling of each stratum by using a table of random numbers. Collected data was analyzed using tables and multiple regression analysis. Findings indicated that 92.31% of the staff assessed effectively network risk monitoring, in addition 84.62% of the staff indicated that they put in place the mechanism for network risk mitigation. However, majority of BSC customers (83.71%) were satisfied with services provided by BSC. Multiple regression analysis was used to estimate the relationship between network risk management process and service delivery at BSC, thereby depicting a very strong, positive correlation between network risk management process and service delivery. Subsequently, recommendations for Rwanda ISPs with findings were suggested to enhance network risk mitigation.

This paper analyzes 510India’ publications on rabies research during ten years 1999 to 2014, as indexed in Scopus International multidisciplinary database. The study focuses on various aspects of performance of Indian rabies research, such as the publication growth, citation impact, international collaboration, subject-wise distribution of publications, contribution and citation impact of Indian organizations and authors, medium of communication and characteristics of its high cited papers. Reveals that India's research output on rabies research witnessed an annual average growth rate of 17.51%, registered an average citation impact per paper of 6.75 and a share of 14.51% of international collaborative publications. India's global publication and citation share in world rabies research was 6.52% and 3.08% and a relative citation index of 0.47 during 1999–2014. Medicine contributed the largest publication share (63.73%) to India's rabies research, followed by immunology & microbiology (24.51%), veterinary science (20.20%), biochemistry, genetics & molecular biology (17.65%), pharmacology, toxicology and pharmaceutics (12.75%), agricultural & biological sciences (8.63%,) and neurosciences (4.21%) during 1999–2014. 159 Indian organizations and 226 authors participated in India's research on rabies, of which the top most productive 15 organizations and 14 authors contributed 55.49% and 46.67% share to its total output during 1999–2014. Suggest the need for taking several measures to control rabies effectively in India.

More than four decades ago, Bangladesh appeared in the world scene as an independent state. Amid plenty of vicissitudes, the country is trying to consolidate its position. Though the level of development could have been a lot higher, the progress has not been meager. A country-wide ICT-infrastructure has been and is being developed to ensure access to information for every citizen so as to facilitate empowerment of people and enhance democratic values and norms for sustainable economic development. This paper is basically a documentation of e-Governance and ICT related developments in Bangladesh which gives an idea that Bangladesh's readiness in putting e-Governance in place is encouraging, though not electrifying.

A total 2723 citations appended to 17 doctoral theses in the subject of Agronomy and Plant Breeding awarded during the year 2010–2014 by CCSHAU, Hisar were analyzed and carried out to identify the bibliographic forms of the cited documents, authorship pattern, country-wise distribution, ranking of the highly cited journals, etc. The findings reveals that more than 70% of the citations in both the subject were from journals and majority of the articles contributed by two authors in agronomy as compared to plant breeding where both two and three authors were dominated with a slightly difference. In agronomy, majority of articles with 40% were contributed from India whereas maximum with 20% of the articles in plant breeding were from USA. Indian Journal of Weed Science and Theoretical and Applied Genetics occupies the first rank in both agronomy and plant breeding, respectively. More than 50% of the cited journals in both subjects are 12–14 years old and Bradford's law does not fit well in the field of agronomy and plant breeding.
