International collaboration is becoming more important for modern science. Among others, it is reflected in authorships of scholarly articles. We studied internationality of Current Science based on internationality of its authors. We analysed articles based on their authors, taking into account foreign authors, co-authorship between countries. We did it for various article types as well as all articles taken together, with the help of Web of Science data as well as data from the journal's web page. Most articles (87%) were written by authors affiliated to Indian institutions. Citation analysis of most highly-cited articles based on citation counts and co-authorship patterns showed that only one article from top five articles was internationally co-authored. Word cloud of Current Science titles shows that the journal is focused on India.

Abstract


International collaboration is becoming more important for modern science. Among others, it is reflected in authorships of scholarly articles. We studied internationality of Current Science based on internationality of its authors. We analysed articles based on their authors, taking into account foreign authors, co-authorship between countries. We did it for various article types as well as all articles taken together, with the help of Web of Science data as well as data from the journal's web page. Most articles (87%) were written by authors affiliated to Indian institutions. Citation analysis of most highly-cited articles based on citation counts and co-authorship patterns showed that only one article from top five articles was internationally co-authored. Word cloud of Current Science titles shows that the journal is focused on India.
