Abstract
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is a professional organization, integral part of the aerospace community who monitors and often records the activities of its members, through books, papers, journals and conferences AAIAA's mission is to address the professional needs and interests of the past, current, and future aerospace workforce and to advance the state of aerospace science, engineering, technology, operations, and policy to benefit our global society topics. One of the important contributions of these Journals is review and survey papers by experts. The present study in this chapter evaluates the document contributions in these journals based on the data collected from Web of Science over a period of thirteen years from 2000 to 2012. The study reveals that Chemistry is the subject which produces more number of papers while the multi-authorship also possesses a lead role in this subject.

Citation Based Indicators in Evaluation of Quality and Performance of Research and Researchers
The study of measuring and analysing science research. In practice, scientometrics is often done using bibliometrics which is a measurement of the impact of (scientific) publications. Modern scientometrics is mostly based on the work of Derek J. de Solla Price and Eugene Garfield. The latter founded the Institute for Scientific Information which is heavily used for scientometric analysis. Methods of research include qualitative, quantitative and computational approaches (“Scientometrics”, 2013).
