This study investigates the altmetric visibility of Indian journals within the field of Library and Information Science (LIS). The research focuses on scholarly articles published in Indian LIS journals indexed on the Web of Science. The Web of Science database was used to retrieve the citations of scholarly articles and Altmetric Explorer was used to get the Altmetric Attention Score. Four Indian LIS journals were currently indexed on the Web of Science with the aggregate total of 1602 scholarly articles having Digital Object Identifier. Out of 1602 scholarly articles, 206 (12.86 %) had an Altmetric Attention Score. The findings of this study revealed that the year-wise growth of altmetric attentions to Indian LIS journals was not constant. X previously known as Twitter (92.64 %) was the popular altmetric data source where scholarly articles from Indian LIS journals were mentioned. ̳Journal of Scientometric Research‘ received highest 382 (67.73 %) Altmetric Attention Score with the highest number of 139 (67.47 %) mentioned outputs as scholarly articles. Altmetric Attention Score and citations of scholarly articles have a weakly positive correlation (< 0.2) across all four Indian LIS journals. ̳Journal of Scientometric Research‘ got the highest number 2439 (50.52 %) of Mendeley readers and has received the highest 570 (47.62 %) dimensions citations.
