Institution wise highest numbers of items have contributed by the authors of Indian Institution of Technology followed by Indian Institute of Science, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, and All Indian Institution of Medical science. Indian researchers collaboration pattern show a positive trend with USA authors. From the study it has been noticed that there is no difference in findings of earlier studies in respect of publications output though taken for the different time periods. It is concluded that overall trend almost remains the same as reported in the earlier studies which have also taken qualitative aspect in view.
