Tracing the Scientific out Puts of Indian Agriculture Based on Publications:A Scientometric Analysis
Objectives: Analyses the Indian publications output in agriculture research during 2008-2018 on several parameters including contribution and citation impact of most productive countries, India’s overall contribution, its growth pattern, citation impact, the share of international collaboration, identification of significant participating countries in India’s international collaboration, most productivity and impact of leading Indian institutions and authors.
Methods: The Web of Science Citation Database has been used to retrieve the data for 10 years (2008 - 2018) by searching the keywords “Agriculture Research” in combined Title, Abstract and Keywords field.
Results: TheWorld output 3,72,458 and the Indian publications output in Agriculture research consisted of 24358 papers during 2008 – 2018 and which increased from 2414 papers in 2015 to 2365 papers in 2018, which decreased from 2043 during 2011& during to 2009. The share of Indian overall Agriculture research was 11.56% during 2008 - 2018, which increased from 9.061% during 2012 to 9.709% during 2018.
Conclusions: Indian research out put on Agriculture research is quite low in the global context as reflected from its publication output per thousand publication (0.001) and its world publication share (3.28%) during 2018-2018. Also, the impact and quality of Indian research is low compared to select development and developing countries.
