Abstract

This study was designed with the aim to evaluate the publication growth and research pattern of library and information science (LIS) in Malaysia from 2016–2021. The Scopus database was utilised as the main source for extracting retrospective data. An explicit fluctuation rather decreasing trend in the number of documents was observed. The year 2021 was identified as the most productive, while 2016 was identified as the high citation in LIS in Malaysia. Additionally, in order to provide scientific information, future studies should investigate pertinent research clusters to look for emerging patterns in LIS.
