The Research Publications Growth Rate of Pakistan in the Field of Material Sciences: Comparison with 50 countries (original) (raw)

2022, Proceedings of the Pakistan Academy of Sciences: A. Physical and Computational Sciences

The world has produced 289454 and 308238 research publications in materials sciences in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Twenty-four (24), Thirty-four (34) and Forty-six (46) countries have published atleast 3000, 2000 and 1000 research documents, respectively. Based on the number of publications, the top three countries for the year 2020 are China (n=124207/40.29%), United States (n=37245/12.08%) and India (n=22754/7.38%). We also calculated the relative growth rate (GR) (for the year 2019-2020) of top fifty (50) countries. The highest GR was recorded for Viet Nam (n=43.83), Saudi Arabia (N=40.03), Indonesia (n=38.77), United Arab Emirates (n=37.23) and Pakistan (n=33.75). It is worth noting that, based on the number of publications in 2020, Pakistan also occupied 20th position (n=3844) globally. This motivated us to explore the publication history of Pakistan in Material Sciences. From 1947 to 2000, Pakistan published only 819 documents. Infact, the 1st document was published in 1964....
