The analysis has been done using Bibexcel, MS Eexcel and Vos Viewer. Findings: It was found that out of 13 articles, 12 received citations. The CAGR value has been found to be 0.84%, which indicates the slow growth of UGC-funded research. 17 journals are found as core journals where researchers prefer to publish their research works. RSC Advances is the journal with the highest number of publications. From the network of author-assigned keywords, it was found that molecular docking, nanoparticles, crystal structure, x-ray diffraction, and oxidative stress are the most commonly used keywords by the researchers. It has been found that chemistry is the most researched area funded by UGC. The USA, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia are the countries with the most collaboration with Indian researchers. Limitation: The current study is limited to the research articles available in the Web of Science database during 2013-2022, which were funded by UGC. There is scope for an indepth analysis to find out the correlation between the amount spent by UGC on research and the impact of those research works in the practical field.

A total of 16935 articles were retrieved and this forms the basis of this study. The growth of the article over the study window is 123 articles per year. 2017 is the most productive year with 2220 (13%, approx) articles. Journals and authors' productivity are analyzed based on their h-index and zindex. Among the 30 top productive journals taken for the study, ACS Nano is occupying the top position with 400 articles. The paired t-test showed a strong and significant correlation of h-index and z-index of authors and journals. The top ten leading countries have also been identified in the study and the USA has topped the rank with 29.68% of world share publication while India is in third position with 7.29% of share next to China (i.e. 15.23%). The same rank is observed for India in the Relative Citation Impact, however, with below world average (i.e. 0.81). This study will be beneficial for the library staff as well as for the Nanotechnology researchers towards identifying the most productive works, the most prolific authors and organizations affiliated to those works.

Year wise distribution of theses is tabulated. From the 30 theses 3684 citations has been retrieved where journals are found to be the most preferable source material followed by books and conference proceedings. Among the top 40 highly cited journals, 18 journals are from UK followed by 14 from India. DESIDOC Journal of Library & Information Technology is on top rank with 72 citations. The citation half-life of literature is found approximately as 12 years.

Different kinds of disaster affect the libraries in several ways. Libraries have to be well prepared for different types of disasters like natural disaster, accidental failures, criminal damages etc. This study has been undertaken to investigate the disaster preparedness in the university libraries. The present study is done using a survey, through a welldesigned questionnaire. Personal observation, interactions with librarians through telephone was made. Both primary and secondary data has been collected. The result of the study reveals that majority of the university libraries have disaster preparedness such as written disaster plans, emergency exits, fire alarms, emergency power supply, prohibiting activities such as smoking, data backup, earthquake proof building etc. But some of the libraries under the study also indicated that they are less prepared to handle a situation coming out of the disasters. The study will help the LIS professionals to know about different disaster preparedness used in university libraries of Assam.
