This article describes our effort to measure the research competitiveness of Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) through a scientometric analysis of their research output during the last five years (2010-14). The research output indexed in Web of Science of the five recently established IISERs has been obtained and analysed computationally to identify growth trends, per capita output, authorship and collaboration patterns, citation impact, average citation per paper, etc. The research performance of IISERs is also compared with the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru and the Indian Institute of Technology system to obtain an assessment of their research potential. Thus the article presents a useful and detailed analytical account of research potential and competitiveness of IISERs.

Abstract


This article describes our effort to measure the research competitiveness of Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) through a scientometric analysis of their research output during the last five years (2010-14). The research output indexed in Web of Science of the five recently established IISERs has been obtained and analysed computationally to identify growth trends, per capita output, authorship and collaboration patterns, citation impact, average citation per paper, etc. The research performance of IISERs is also compared with the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru and the Indian Institute of Technology system to obtain an assessment of their research potential. Thus the article presents a useful and detailed analytical account of research potential and competitiveness of IISERs.
