Sadik; Sivaraman, P. <br/> <br/>Abstract: Chemical sciences research in India has been mapped with data collected from the CD-ROM version of Chemistry CitationIndex [publication year: 20023. Roughly, 4.5% of the global R&D output in chemical sciences was contributed by Indian in2002. Indian researchers published 6186 papers from 569 journals and 12 non-journal sources. More than 45% of thesepapers appeared in journals with an impact factor less than 1.000. Around 2% of the papers were either published in journalswith no impact factor or not indexed in JCR 2003. The average impact factor for journal articles during this period is 1.359.While 26% of papers published by Indians were in US journals, the percentages for Indian and UK journals were 21 and 20%.respectively. Among Indian journals, the Asian Journal of Chemistry (IF 0.211) took the major chunk of 269 papers, while theJournal of Indian Chemical Society (IF 0.275) and the Indian Journal of Chemistry B (IF 0.492) carried 224 and 209 papers,respectively. In all, 563 institutions contributed 6199 papers in 2002. Of these papers, 68% were contributed by 10% of Indianinstitutions. The Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore ranks first with 345 papers. This is followed by the Indian Institute ofChemical Technology, Hyderabad with 263 papers. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai with 259 papers and the NationalChemical Laboratory, Pune with 246 papers come in the third and fourth places, respectively. The largest contributions camefrom Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kolkata. In terms of states, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradeshand West Bengal are major contributors. About 16% of the papers had international collaboration (with as many as 53 count:ies).Major collaborating countries in chemical sciences were the US, Germany, Japan and Great Britain. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 83-95 Mon, 29 May 2006 22:58:59 GMT http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/4679 Title: A biobibliometric study on Prof. B. N. Koley, an eminent physiologist <br/> <br/>Authors: Koley, Susanta; Sen, B. K. <br/> <br/>Abstract: This biobibliometric study is based on 251 papers of Prof. B. N. Koley published during 1958-2001. On the basis of collecteddata, this study examines year-wise distribution of papers, research group of the scientist and scattering of papers in differentcommunication channels. In addition, it finds out author productivity, spectrum of research activity through analysis of the titlekeywords, and productivity of Koley's research group. Finally, it shows that the data set does not follow Bradford distribution. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 74-82 Mon, 29 May 2006 22:58:59 GMT http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/4678 Title: Communication technologies in biomedical information centres andlibraries in India: A study <br/> <br/>Authors: Singh, Surya Nath <br/> <br/>Abstract: Advances in communication technologies during the last decade are well known. Information centres and libraries of biomedicalinstitutions play an important role in providing information services to their users. The paper reports the emergence ofcommunication technology facilities in biomedical information centres and libraries (ICLs) by comparing the communicationtechnology facilities available at 126 biomedical ICLs during 1994-95,1997-98 and 2004-05. Concludes that communicationtechnologies grew from 55.65% in 1994-95 to 100% in 2004-05 in the 126 institutions. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 70-73 Mon, 29 May 2006 22:58:59 GMT
