The present study is aimed at a comparative study of dependency e-resources by Iranian and Indian social science faculty members. A total of 487 respondents (232 from Iran and 255 from India) were randomly selected from both the countries. A questionnaire measuring dependency on various e-resources: e-books, e-journals, e-tutorials, online databases, CD-databases and e-reports was prepared by the investigator and administered to the sample selected. Statistical methods like descriptive statistics and contingency coefficient analysis were employed to verify the hypotheses. Results revealed that Iranian faculty members were more dependent on all the e-resources selected for the study.Keywords

The present study is based on the citations cited in Doctoral dissertations of Engineering and Technology awarded by various general universities of Karnataka. This paper comprising 541 journals containing 7467 citations appeared in 137 Doctoral dissertations awarded during 1961-2008. It was observed that more than 67 percent of the theses were awarded by the Bangalore Unicweairy and University of Mysore. It also noted that majority of (85, 62.04%) doctoral dissertations were awarded in between 1996-2008 and more number of Ph.D degree awarded in Civil discipline. Further the characteristics of references cited by the engineers and technologists in their Ph.D theses were studied. The results and discussions with regard to bibliographic form, languages, country, subject, authorship pattern and ranking of journals are presented in different tables and figure with some well known statistical and Bibliometric parameters have been applied for the study.Keywords
