The paper analyses quantitatively the Indian research in Materials Science during 2001-2010 on several parameters including publication growth and rank, country-wise contribution, material-wise contribution, share of international collaborative linkages and leading collaborating countries, most productive Indian institutions and authors, and characteristics of high cited papers.
Introduction:The paper analysis the performance of CSIR at the overall level as well as laboratory level in terms of various indicators during 2007-11. It identifies the strength and weakness of CSIR at the overall level as well as under laboratory level under 13 broad subjects.Materials and Methods:The paper uses Scopes database for analyzing publications on CSIR and its 37 laboratories during 2007-11.Results:The largest contribution of CSIR has been in the area of chemistry, followed by biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, materials science, chemical engineering, physics, engineering, pharmacology, toxicology and pharmaceutics, agricultural and biological sciences, environmental science, medicine, earth and planetary sciences and energy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
