| Abstract: | An analysis of 2899 papers published by Indian
scientists during 1991-2008 and indexed by Science Citation Index-
Expanded (SCI-E) indicates that the growth of publication output
was slow in the initial stages, which started increasing after
2000. The highest output was in the sub-field of
molecular genetics. The organisms which received the maximum priority were
humans, plants, and animals. A significant
proportion of papers were published in journals that originated from the
advanced
countries of the West and in journals with
impact factor >1. About 47% papers were cited more than 5 times. Academic
institutions contributed the highest number of
papers but had less impact as compared to other performing sectors. The papers
published by Indian Council of Agriculture
Research had the lowest impact. Among the institutions, Madras University had
the
highest impact, while Indian
Veterinary Research Institute had the lowest impact. |
