Performance indicators used are: total publications, total </em><em>citations, the activity index, the attractive index and the publication efficiency index. Yearly </em><em>publication and citation trends indicated an exponential growth. The most active countries involved </em><em>are USA, Australia, Malaysia, France, Germany and the UK. The USA produced the most papers, has </em><em>the highest average citations per article and highest h-index. Australia is the most productive </em><em>country based on per capita followed by Malaysia. The relative citation impact in Nipah virus </em><em>research by these countries surpassed the world’s average. The most active institutions are the </em><em>Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Australia (18.73%); Center for </em><em>Disease Control and Prevention, USA (14.94%); and University of Malaya, Malaysia (12.41%).</em></p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, journal={Malaysian Journal of Library and Information Science}, author={S.A., Sanni and Safahieh, H. and A.N., Zainab and A., Abrizah and Raj, R.G. and Sanni, S.A. and Safahieh, H. and Zainab, A.N. and Abrizah, A. and Raj, R.G.}, year={2017}, month={Mar.}, pages={14–24} }
