NIPER-Mohali, NIPER-Hyderabad, NIPER-Ahmedabad, NIPER-Guwahati and NIPER-Kolkata have been selected for the study. The study has adopted a comprehensive search strategy to extract 3,926 publications data. VOS viewer 1.6.17, BibExcel and Microsoft Excel were used for data analysis and visualization.FindingsThe global scientific research output of NIPERs accrued 3,926 publications with an average of 327 publications per year. The retrieved publications fetched a total of 67,772 citations with an average citation impact of 17.26. There observed a steady growth of publications from 168 to 509 registered with an average growth rate of 18.44%. The mean relative growth rate and doubling time of research output are 0.26 and 2.94. The authorship patterns explore collaborative trends as most of the publications were published by multiple authors (99.39%). NIPERs have expanded their outreach to collaborate with the USA, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Australia and the UK to collaborate on research and regulatory reforms exhibits in the USA as a major contributor.Originality/valueThe present study is the first effort to evaluate the global research productivity of NIPERs and assess the current research trends on a set of quantitative and qualitative metrics to provide some insights into the complex dynamics of research productivity. The study’s outcome may help to identify the current research progress of NIPERs at the global level.

“…One particular reason for this is the perceived element of “control” (Seema et al. , 2016) by university management that diminishes the power of autonomous motivation by individual researchers (Kumari et al , 2020). In the context of this paper, autonomous motivation, refers to “ when people act out of their own volition and self-endorsement” (Sutton and Brown, 2016; Ezzine-de-Blas et al , 2019).…”

“…As suggested by Masinde and Coetzee (2021), research incentive systems should be designed around the researchers given that they themselves produce the outputs. Kumari et al , 2020 assert that such systems should factor in the researchers' expectations. For this reason, there should be space for autonomy, creativity, flexibility and innovation as success hinges on the ability to keep researchers intrinsically motivated (Ezzine-de-Blas et al , 2019).…”

PurposeThe overall aim of this research is to propose a research incentive framework for academic staff members at the South African universities of technology (UoTs).Design/methodology/approachAn exploratory case study methodology was applied, while a questionnaire was used to (1) identify the factors that stimulated staff members' research activities; (2) assess what was considered an appropriate way of measuring research productivity and (3) identify appropriate research awards, recognition and rewards. Working from the self-determination theory (SDT), the results of the data analysis were used to develop a framework for ensuring crowding-in of research incentives into intrinsic motivation. This framework is anchored on the three main components (competence, autonomy and social relatedness) of the cognitive evaluation theory (CET) that provides guidelines for the design of a research incentive system.FindingsIntrinsically motivated researchers tend to conduct research for their inherent satisfaction because it meets their basic individual psychological need for competence. Existing research incentives and productivity systems fail to provide intrinsic motivation for researchers. Recommendation for a framework for designing research incentive systems is centred on the researchers themselves. This approach contributes to a research environment that provides space for autonomy, creativity, flexibility and innovation and consequently a successful research output that is hinged on the ability to keep researchers intrinsically motivated.Originality/valueA conceptual framework is proposed specifically for technically focused UoT suggesting that crowding-in the motivation of researcher incentives results in improved intrinsic-based motivation. The autonomy of researchers in particular is regarded as the most important driver of such motivation, with the availability of resources, collegiality and research skills and development ranking as the most important aspects specifically driving intrinsic motivation. The framework not only provides a tool for institutions of higher education focused on developing the technical skills, but also offers management at any type of university challenged with low research outputs and a poor research ethos with an alternative method to improve both the quantity and quality of research outputs.

“…The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the largest chain of public-funded R&D institutions in India, has provided necessary R&D solutions to meet the country's need during the pandemic in the form of rapid and economic diagnostics, new drugs/repurposing of drugs, hospital assistive devices and personal protective equipments (PPEs) (Rayasam and Mande, 2020). In response to the challenges faced by society and industry, the Indian R&D institutions are expected to facilitate -(1) the adoption and adaptation of foreign technologies to the Indian environment (2) build competence to develop a pool of skilled manpower, and (3) develop technology incubation and entrepreneurship programs (Sharma et al, 2020;Kumari et al, 2022). Indian public funded R&D organizations like Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO), and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) are expected to justify the research funds provided to them from the tax-payer's allowance (Linna et al, 2010;Phusavat, 2013;Ahyaruddin and Akbar, 2016).…”

Purpose The paper develops a model for enhancing R&D productivity for Indian public funded laboratories. The paper utilizes the productivity data of five Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) laboratories for analysis and to form the constructs of the model.Design/methodology/approach The weighted average method was employed for analyzing the rankings of survey respondents pertaining to the significant measures enhancing R&D involvement of researchers and significant non-R&D jobs. The authors have proposed a model of productivity. Various individual, organizational and environmental constructs related to the researchers working in the CSIR laboratories have been outlined that can enhance R&D productivity of researchers in Indian R&D laboratories. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to find the predictability of the productivity model.Findings The organizational factors have a crucial role in enhancing the R&D outputs of CSIR laboratories. The R&D productivity of researchers can be improved through implementing the constructs of the proposed model of productivity.Research limitations/implications The R&D productivity model can be adapted by the R&D laboratories to enhance researchers’ R&D involvement, increased R&D outputs and achieving self-sustenance in long run.Practical implications The R&D laboratories can initiate exercises to explore the most relevant factors and measures to enhance R&D productivity of their researchers. The constructs of the model can function as a guideline to introduce the most preferable research policies in the laboratory for overall mutual growth of laboratory and the researchers.Originality/value Hardly any studies have been found that have focused on finding the measures of enhancing R&D involvement of researchers and the influence of significant time-intensive jobs on researchers’ productivity.
