This study aimed to analyze the scholarly productivity of the University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Lahore, over 50 years, from 1973 to 2022. Data indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database was used and included information such as document type, year-wise research output, leading authors, significant collaborative organizations, primary international author collaborations, key corresponding author affiliations by country, major funding agencies, and highly cited publications. For bibliometric visualization, the BiblioShiny and VOSviewer software tools were employed. A comprehensive analysis of 5502 publications across diverse categories, such as research articles, conference papers, abstracts, reviews, editorials and others, was conducted. The UET research productivity displayed a positive trend, with 2022 emerging as the most productive year. Research articles constituted the predominant publication type, showcasing their popularity. Collaboration emerged as a preferred approach among researchers, evidenced by the prevalence of co-authored publications. The majority of the corresponding coauthors were affiliated with Pakistani institutions. The University of the Punjab (PU), Pakistan, was a prominent collaborative partner among all institutes. China was identified as the primary international collaborator for the researchers. Furthermore, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan was seen to be the primary funding agency for researchers at UET. The research domain of "engineering" claimed the most productivity, and "performance" was the most frequently used keyword. This study helps understand UET's research performance in the domains of engineering, science and technology.

Bibliometric Analysis of Information and Communication Technology Research in Pakistan
International Journal of Scientific Research in Computer Science, Engineering and Information Technology, 2021
ICTs plays a vital role in a country’s economic growth. Hence, being a developing country, Pakistan must make extensive efforts to promote research and development of this field but in order to do so, it is imperative that research competence of most productive Pakistani institutions and authors must be measured and assessed. This research work uses bibliometric methods to systematically study and analyze ICT based publications included in the Scopus database that have originated from Pakistan from 2010 to 2019. This bibliometric analysis discovered the following: (1) Scientific publications and received citations during the time have mostly increased and would probably have an increasing trend in the future; (2) The most active institution in Pakistan for ICT publications is National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, Pakistan and (3) the most active author in this field is Javaid N. with respect to number of publications.

Bibliometric Analysis of Publications of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
Malaysian Journal of Fundamental and Applied Sciences, 2022
This study analyses the scholarly publications of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in conjunction with 50 years of UTM establishment. A bibliometric analysis is performed to analyse the UTM’s publication and research trends over the 50 years, especially during the post-research university (RU) period, publications impacts, subject area expertise and publications performance in comparison to other RU. Based on the analysis, engineering and computer science are the most prominent fields among the research fields in UTM in terms of a number of publications and citations thus far. Among the top 10 fields in UTM, materials science, chemical engineering, energy and chemistry areas are seen to have a high potential to further excel in citation provided that the publication numbers of these fields are further increased. The publications output for some UTM fields can still be considered low despite having a reasonable number of authors and talents. UTM is the top university in the number...

Bibliometric methods are used to access various elements in any data set. Similarly, this study uses a bibliometric method to evaluate the research performance of the University of the Punjab (PU), the oldest university of Pakistan. A peer university from a neighboring country, India, has been selected in this study along with three state-owned universities of Pakistan. The research yield of selected universities was analyzed since their establishment until 2019. The data were retrieved from the Scopus database in February 2020. The guidelines of the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education were used to select the peer universities. It has been analyzed that steady progress in research productivity was observed during the 20th century and in the last few years of the 19th century. A focus shift was observed with the onset of the 21st century and a rapid increase in research publications was observed in Pakistani universities. Around 92% of research studies of the University of the Punjab were carried out during the first 20 years of the 21st century and it leads the compared peer universities in terms of the number of research publications and the citations. It is also analyzed that there is a tendency among the authors of studied universities to publish their research articles in subscription-based journals. The authors affiliated with the University of the Punjab are more inclined to publish their research in open access journals as compared to the researchers of other studied universities. It is also observed that publications with single authors received a low average of citations per document while the publications with six or more authors had the highest average citations. The study recommends collaborative efforts for carrying out research and publication in open access journals is encouraged because of greater visibility, access, and impact.
