    (Journal of Health Information Research, 2026) Muneer Ahmad; Undie Felicia Nkatv; Amrita Sharma; Gorrety Maria Juma; Nicholas Kamoga; Julirine Nakanwagi
    This scientometric study analyzes Avian Influenza research from 2014 to 2023 using bibliographic data from the Web of Science database. We examined publication trends, sources, authorship, collaborative networks, document types, and geographical distribution to gain insights into the global research landscape. Results reveal a steady increase in publications, with high contributions from Chinese and American institutions. Journals such as PLoS One and the Journal of Virology published the highest number of studies, indicating their influence in this field. The most prolific institutions include the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Hong Kong, while the College of Veterinary Medicine at South China Agricultural University emerged as the most productive department. China and the USA lead in publication volume, though developed nations like the United Kingdom and Germany exhibit a higher rate of international collaboration. "Articles" are the most common document type, constituting 84.6% of the total, while "Reviews" account for 7.6%. This study provides a comprehensive view of global trends in Avian Influenza research, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts across borders.

    The study investigates the selection and acquisition of grey literature in Kampala International University-Uganda. Four research objectives and questions were formulated to guide the study. The literature was reviewed accordingly. A survey research method was adopted for the study. The population used was fifty respondents consisting of all library staff in the KIU library. No sampling technique was used since the entire population was used (census approach). We handed out a questionnaire called "How We Choose and Get Grey Literature at Kampala International University (SAGLKIULQ)" to gather data. The data collected was analyzed and interpreted using simple percentages due to the nature of the variables involved in the study. The finding revealed among others that lack of funds to acquire materials, poor handling, and manpower. The research work recommends that more funds should be made available or allocated to the library to enable the acquire materials for their collections
