Freshwater Turtles and Tortoises of India Introduction A large volume of scientific information on Freshwater Turtles is widely scattered in India. It would be difficult and critical to access appropriate and relevant literature on the subject due to in absence of proper documentation. This bibliography contains 391 references. This bibliography covers almost 155 years (1853-2009). The following secondary sources have been consulted during the compilation of this bibliography: a) International Database Wildlife and Ecology Studies (Period 1935 – 2009) b) WII Library and Documentation Centre in-house Databases i) Reprint Database ii) Book Database iii) WILD Database (Indexing and Abstracting Database of Indian Wildlife)
To make bibliography more user friendly, the bibliography has been supplemented with four indices for easy access to the citations. a) The Author index b) The Subject index c) The Publication year index d) The Taxonomic name index
Each article in the bibliography has been analysed on the basis of 16 broad subject heading as shown in Table 1. Among these Distribution followed by Status, Reproduction and Conservation and Management dominate the database.
(Table 1 : Subject Distribution)
Over 289 authors have been indexed in the present bibliography and their contribution in-term of number of publication ranged from 1 to 37. Further analysis of the database shows that 232 out of 391 references have been contributed individually, as shown in Table 2. Other 153 references were found to be contributed in collaboration.
(Table 2: Authorship pattern)
Trend in the chronological development of literature has been shown in table 3. The number of publications in a year ranged 0-21 with the year 1998 recording the maximum publications (21).
(Table 3: Chronological Development of literature)
The above table also reveals that 247 (>63 %) references have been published from 1990 to 2009.
For the convenience of the user, this bibliography is also available in database form at the Wildlife Institute of India, Library and Documentation Centre. It is hoped that providing information both in traditional printed form as well as through machine readable database will be very useful and act as a ready reference to both professional and amateur wildlife ecologists and protected area managers, interested in the Freshwater Turtles of India. We would also like to add that this database is not complete. While all possible efforts have been made to cite the references as accurately as possible, it is probable that some mistakes have remained, largely owing to the compilation of the majority of references from secondary sources. We would be grateful if such mistakes are brought to our notice for correction and continuous updation of this database.
