The study examines the research productivity of 10 central universities in the Northeastern states of India by analyzing data on research publications indexed by the Web of Science database between 1989 and 2021. The data is analyzed based on parameters such as the year-wise distribution of publications, citations, funding sources, and preferred sources for publications. The results reveal that the ten central universities in the Northeastern states attempted to improve their research publications. Tezpur University was identified as the most dynamic university in the region with the highest publications and citations, leading to the highest h-index values during the selected period. The study also found that most central universities in Northeast India published their research papers in the journal “Current Science.” The study recommends that Central Agricultural University improve its research publications by publishing in reputed, high-impact journals to increase visibility within the scientific community.

Abstract


The study examines the research productivity of 10 central universities in the Northeastern states of India by analyzing data on research publications indexed by the Web of Science database between 1989 and 2021. The data is analyzed based on parameters such as the year-wise distribution of publications, citations, funding sources, and preferred sources for publications. The results reveal that the ten central universities in the Northeastern states attempted to improve their research publications. Tezpur University was identified as the most dynamic university in the region with the highest publications and citations, leading to the highest h-index values during the selected period. The study also found that most central universities in Northeast India published their research papers in the journal “Current Science.” The study recommends that Central Agricultural University improve its research publications by publishing in reputed, high-impact journals to increase visibility within the scientific community.
