| Abstract: | This study continues a series on publication patterns of refereed library and information science journal articles by United States academic librarians (USALs). Following previous studies conducted in 5-year increments starting in 1993, this study covers 52 journals from 2018 to 2022. The proportion of USAL-authored articles decreased despite an overall increase in USAL publications. Coauthorship and the percentage of USALs who publish three or more articles in 5 years increased. Large public research universities remain the most productive. The change in percentages of USAL and non-USAL articles in the studied journals points to differences in growth among journals. COVID-19 appeared to impede USAL productivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
