The study utilized Scopus to source the required data for a 10-year period (2013-2022) and employed a data carpentry approach for cleaning and processing the data. Data carpentry tools/software such as Open Refine, OpenAlex, Dimensions.ai, and Altmetric.com were utilized in various instances for different purposes. Findings reveal that 35.26% of publications were distributed across various open-access categories and were used in the study to generate the analysis. The study indicates that DOI-based publications increased over time, while Open-Access (OA) publications consistently maintained a share exceeding 30%. Gold OA is prevalent in terms of occurrence, citations, and altmetrics, with other OA categories also significantly present. The CC-BY license is mostly used as an OA license, and among the 10 document types, "Article" is the most prevalent. The "Journal of Food Science and Technology" holds the highest number of OA publications, while Elsevier BV is the highest contributing publication agency. Further study reveals that the three-authorship pattern mostly occurred in open-access publications of dairy research, with a prevalent multiple-authorship pattern. The ratio of citations was found to be higher for open-access publications compared to closed access, and the altmetric attention score was also found to be higher for open access publications than for closed ones. ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute emerged as the top contributor of OA publications in dairy research. Lastly, the study discusses the limitations and future prospects of the research, providing a comprehensive overview of the conducted analysis.

The research publication data indexed in Scopus for the OPEC member countries were extracted and used for the analysis. The data are analyzed to identify quantitative research performance of OPEC member countries in terms of total documents, citable documents, and non-citable documents. The citation impact is measured by different parameters, like total citations, citations per document, Relative Citation Impact, self-citations, and self-citations per document. Finally, the quality of the document is assessed by means of h -index. Nigeria has been found to be most productive country in LIS research and Iran is receiving highest citations and also in h -index performance amongst OPEC member countries. Iraq, Libya, and Ecuador are far away in LIS research productivity and needs strong steps to improve LIS research productivity for future endeavor.
