Abstract

PurposeThe study aims to investigate returns on investment (ROI) from the academic library of India's top ten leading university libraries in terms of research publication. Librarians help academic researchers in a variety of ways. Some of these methods are collection oriented, whilst others are service oriented. The study investigates many factors responsible for the increased or decreased institutional ROI, performance and research out of the institution, such as total library budget, staff, library collection, service and facilities. The ROI % shows the institution's highest and lowest investment return in research publication.Design/methodology/approachThe study is expiation about ROI from the academic library of India's top ten leading university libraries in terms of research publication. The study is based on primary and secondary data gathered from the Ministry of Education, Government of India and universities ranking in June 2020. The data were compiled from the ranking list regarding total library budgets, staff and research publications for 2017–2020. The research is limited to a ROI analysis of university libraries. The study should aid libraries in better understanding the idea of ROI in order to improve library services. The study then looked at various institutions' ROI from 2017 to 2020.FindingsThe study aims to investigate ROI from the academic library of India's top ten leading university libraries in terms of research publication. This study investigates many factors responsible for the increased or decreased institutional ROI, performance and research out of the institution, such as total library budget, staff, library collection, service and facilities. The study found that the overall highest research output is by the Indian Institute of Science and the lowest by Jamia Millia Islamia among the ten leading university libraries in India.Originality/valueThe ROI study displays the importance of libraries in terms of research publication of the institutions. This research can also support decision-making, library collection development and institutional library system analysis. The library can assist with publications, sponsorships, grants, finances and teaching enhancement research output. The last point justifies the library's increased importance in establishing an organisation's status and obtaining accreditation.

研究出版物和图书馆投资回报率：印度NIRF大学图书馆排名研究

目的本研究旨在调查印度十大顶尖大学图书馆的学术图书馆在研究出版物方面的投资回报率。图书馆员以多种方式帮助学术研究人员。其中一些方法是面向收集的，而另一些则是面向服务的。该研究调查了导致机构投资回报率、绩效和机构外研究增加或减少的许多因素，如图书馆总预算、工作人员、图书馆收藏、服务和设施。投资回报率%显示了该机构在研究出版物中的最高和最低投资回报。设计/方法论/方法本研究是对印度十大顶尖大学图书馆学术图书馆在研究出版物方面的投资回报率的解释。该研究基于2020年6月从教育部、印度政府和大学排名中收集的中小学数据。这些数据是根据2017-2020年图书馆总预算、工作人员和研究出版物的排行榜编制的。这项研究仅限于对大学图书馆的投资回报率分析。这项研究应该有助于图书馆更好地理解ROI的概念，以改善图书馆服务。然后，该研究考察了2017年至2020年各机构的投资回报率。发现该研究旨在调查印度十大顶尖大学图书馆的学术图书馆在研究出版物方面的投资回报。本研究调查了导致机构投资回报率、绩效和机构外研究增加或减少的许多因素，如图书馆总预算、工作人员、图书馆收藏、服务和设施。研究发现，在印度十所领先的大学图书馆中，印度科学研究所的总体研究产出最高，Jamia Millia Islamia的研究产出最低。该研究还可以为决策、图书馆馆藏开发和机构图书馆系统分析提供支持。图书馆可以协助出版、赞助、拨款、财政和教学改进研究成果。最后一点证明了图书馆在建立一个组织的地位和获得认证方面越来越重要。
