The Growth of Indian LIS Thesis Production (1980–2024): A Phased Analysis and Academic Genealogical Networks

Manash Esh

Short summary

Indian Library and Information Science (LIS) doctoral research grew through four phases (Foundation, Consolidation, Expansion, Maturation), with thesis production peaking between 2013-2019 and concentrated in a few states/universities. Supervisory capacity, rather than the number of universities, was more strongly linked to thesis output, with limited supervisors developing multi-generational research lineages.
