This article presents the research performance of the 39 central universities in India. The research publication data, indexed in the Web of Science, for the 39 central universities for a 25-year period (1990-2014) are used for analysis. The data are computationally analysed to identify productivity, productivity per capita, productivity per crore rupees grant, rate of growth of research output, authorship and collaboration pattern, citation impact and discipline-wise research strength of these institutions. Research performance of the central universities is measured and compared with two top-ranking world universities, namely University of Cambridge and Stanford University. While older well-established big universities such as University of Delhi and Banaras Hindu University perform better than newer universities, some relatively smaller universities, such as the university of Hyderabad have impressive research performance. What is disturbing is that combined research output of all central universities taken together is less than that of either of University of Cambridge or Stanford University alone. The results also provide discipline-wise research strengths of all the universities.Keywords

This article presents a scientometric analysis of Current Science. The publications of the journal have been analysed for a 28-year period (1990–2017). Several different parameters such as output pattern, collaboration trend, citation pattern, contributing countries and organizations, highly cited papers, etc. have been analysed. Graphs of keyword co-occurrences have also been generated to analyse the important themes of research and their trends over the years. The journal has been in existence for more than 85 years and, according to our knowledge there have been no earlier attempts towards its scientometric characterization. We find that the journal output has increased over the years. The authorship trend is found to be towards multi-authored papers. A fair percentage of the publications in the journal is cited. The rate of international collaboration is, however, not very high and most of the publications in the journal are from India. Major change is observed in the themes and trends of content published in Current Science during the study period, although the journal has remained India-focused.Keywords
