Abstract: This paper investigates the publishing trends of e-le it-fling literature 
catalogued in SSCI database dining 1967 2009 Our findings indicate that (1) 
the quantity of recent research on e-learning is expanding remarkably (2) the 
frequency indexes of authors productivity do not appear to abide by Lotca s 
Law (3) most research papers on c learning are generated by multiple author 
ship and (4) applications of e learning h we most found in research areas such 
as Education & Educational Research Information Science & Library Science and 
Computer Science/Interdisciplinary Applications Finally, future directions of 
research on e lean-ling are considered Moreover, according to Bradford s Law 
the three zone ratio comparisons almost equal as 1 8 82 which means the data 
does match Bradford s Law And the seven core journals in e-learning rue 
identified and analyzed
