Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the time lag between the receipt of paper and its subsequent publication in the journal, the structure of the IPR literature, type of documents cited by the papers and identification of core journals in the field of IPR using Bradford’s law. The study also identifies the place of origin of the cited journals and the disciplines with which these dealt. The analysis indicates that the average time lag between receipt and its consequent publication is about 4 months. Highest number of papers is published in the sub-discipline of intellectual property rights and its related aspects. Nearly 40 journals constitute the core of the cited journals. Most of the cited journals are published from USA, UK and India. It is observed that most of the cited journals belong to the disciplines of law, economics and management.
