Paper deals with the scientometric analysis of research performance of SAARC countries in Library & Information Science. Quantitative research performance of SAARC countries in terms of total documents, citable documents, and non-citable documents has been discussed. Further, citations related data to SAARC countries during 1996-2015 from Scopus database have been analyzed elaborately. Citations per documents, Relative Citation Impact, and h-index have been calculated for SAARC countries during the period. India has been found to be most productive country in LIS research and receiving citations also amongst SAARC countries followed by Pakistan and Bangladesh. Moreover, Nepal, Bhutan, Afghanistan, and Maldives are far behind in research productivity of LIS research amongst SAARC countries.
