Abstract

An analysis of 90958 papers published by Indian scientists and indexed by Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) during 2010-2011 indicates that academic institutions produced the highest number of papers contributing about 43% of the output. The highest number of papers was published in the discipline of chemical sciences. Highest impact as judged by the values of CPP and RCI was also made by chemical sciences. About 83% papers were published in journals originating froum outse India. US journals were the most preferred choice for publishing papers. About half of the papers were published in medium impact factor journals and 66% papers were cited one or more times. Indian Institute of Science (Bangalore) published the highest number of papers; and the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (Bangalore) made the highest impact.

Abstract

An analysis of 2074 papers published on different aspects of Japanese Encephalitis (JE) during 1991 to 2010 and indexed by Science Citation Index-Expanded indicates that the output increased many folds since 1991 except for a significant dip in 2005. These papers were scattered in 501 journal titles, which originated from 29 different countries. Total output came from 62 countries of which 14 countries contributed 90% of the total output. The highest number of publications came from USA, followed by India. The publication activity increased significantly in China, South Korea, France, Austria, Singapore, Germany and decreased for Japan in the second block. Data indicates that about 87% of the total output is concentrated among 15 sub-disciplines and the remaining in other 53 sub-disciplines. Highest output (18%) is in the sub-discipline of virology. Among the prolific institutions, the publication output of institutions from the USA and Taiwan had higher impact. Citation per Paper (CPP) and Relative Citation Impact (RCI) were more than average for USA. All the Indian institutes listed under prolific institutions had made only a low impact.

Abstract

The study presents an analysis of citation pattern of Ph.D. theses in social sciences awarded by the University of Delhi during 1995-2008. The study identifies how the pattern of submissions has changed during 1995-2008 in different disciplines of social sciences, besides studying distribution of citations by document types, pattern of authorship of cited documents, cited Indian and foreign authors and chronological distribution of citations. The ranked lists of core journals also have been presented. The analysis reveals that 51,889 citations were made to 259 theses in social sciences. The analysis of these citations shows that books are the most preferred source of citations in all disciplines except economics and constitutes about 55.5% of total citations. The authorship pattern reveals that single authored citations constitute about 86 per cent citations. The chronological distribution of citations shows that the period ranging from 1991 to 2000 is the most cited period. The analyses of journals ranking shows that Economic and Political Weekly published from India is the most cited journal.

Abstract

The study presents a bibliometric analysis of 270 papers presented at the international conference “Information Technology: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” organized by the Defence Scientific Information and Documentation Center (DESIDOC), Delhi, of the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) during February 19-21, 2015. The study indicates that more than half of the total presentation was contributed by academic institutions (universities and colleges). Distribution of contributions by country and Indian States indicates that out of 270 papers, only seven were from foreign countries and rest 263 from India. Delhi topped the list among the contributing cities, while DESIDOC topped the list among the contributing institutions. Output of authors by gender indicates that male authors contributed more than female authors. The distribution of references cited in the papers shows that among the different information sources, journal citations were the highest and highest number of cited journals was in the discipline of library and information science. The highest number of cited journals was being published from the USA.

Abstract

The study examines the pattern of growth of papers published by CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (IHBT) during 1990-2019; identifies most prolific authors and their citation impact, communication pattern of scientists in terms of journal publishing country and impact factor of these journals as well as the pattern of domestic and international collaboration. Analysis of data indicates a consistent growth of output during the study period except a decline in 2019-2020. Publications appeared in journals published from the advanced countries of the West and more than half of the papers were published in medium, high and very high impact factor journals. The output is highly scattered in terms of journal publication as one-third of the papers were published in 28 journals. Only about 8% papers remained uncited and rest were cited one or more times. Of the 20 highly cited papers, six women scientists acted as first author. The study found that more than half of the papers were published in domestic and international collaboration. USA was the most collaborating country and academic institutions were found to be most domestic collaborating institutions in India as well as abroad. Among all the Indian institutions, Guru Nanak Dev University (Amritsar) was most collaborating domestic institution and University of Vienna, Austria from abroad.
