Abstract

The present study aims to conduct a scientometric analysis of the Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies (JCAS) to understand its scholarly impact and publication trends. By examining bibliometric indicators such as year-wise publication trends, authorship patterns, institutional affiliations, geographic distribution, and language use, this study provides valuable insights into the journal's growth and scholarly contributions. Data was collected from the JCAS archive covering the period from its inception in 2014 to 2024. The findings highlight a steady growth in publications, a dominance of single-author contributions, and a broad international reach. This scientometric profile can assist researchers, librarians, and academic institutions in identifying research gaps and potential collaborations.
