Research Productivity of First Ten NIRF Ranking Academic Institutes in India during 2015-19: A Scientometric Analysis

2021

This scientometric study analyses the research productivity of the first ten NIRF ranking academic institutes in India using Web of Science (WoS) data. In particular, this study focused on research output in terms of the total number of publications as indexed in the Web of Science database, citations received, and research area. We examined 42300 publications downloaded from the Web of Science. The results show that the publications output of each institute is in increasing trend but yearly citations per publication are uniform. On the other hand, articles per journal statistics show that publications are scattered distributed in various journals, not centered on only a few preferred journals. For the classification of research publications by subject, we used a modified subject group, which is based on OECD and ESI of WoS. It has been seen that the productivity in chemical sciences is maximum which also supports the world report

Research Output of Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs): A Scientometric Study

Journal of Knowledge & Communication Management, 2015

The paper attempts to evaluate the trend of research output of five top ranked Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) on the basis of research papers/articles indexed in Web of Science online database for the five years' period of 2009-13. A total of 215,019 records were retrieved for India which are 2.72% of the global records for the period 2009-13. The records of articles from top five IITs were scanned which accounted to 9.32% of total records of India. A maximum of 22.27% articles have been indexed in 2013 against 18.41% in 2009. A scientometric assessment of the trend of research papers has been presented in the study by way of analyzing; year-wise distribution of publications among IITs vs total Indian research output, Institutional distribution, degree of collaborations with other countries and with the institutions from India, etc. The results of the study would be useful to subject specialists, analysts, researchers, students and policy makers to look into the trends and to make effective policies on the basis of inferences drawn.
