| Abstract: | R&D publication growth, its characteristics, research impact, quality, citation
value, category of journals, core research
areas,
characteristics of productive authors with reference to the National
Metallurgical Laboratory, an R&D organisation
under
CSIR, India
is analysed. Based on data obtained from the Science Citation Indices, it was
found that the highest
number
of 120 papers was published by the laboratory in the year 2010, out of which 28
papers received 62 citations during
the
same year for the papers published by the laboratory whereas the highest
citation received was 738 from 88 out of 107
papers
published in 2006 as on April 2011. The average number of publications per year
was 88.1 for the period under
consideration
and the average citation per paper was 5.02. The analysis shows that the
majority of the authors of this
laboratory
published their research work in joint authorship (96.48%). The authors mostly
prefer to publish their research
findings
in reputed international journals rather than Indian journals. 72.95 percent
citing authors are from foreign countries
and
only 27.05 percent are Indians. Therefore, the R&D contributions made by
scientists of CSIR-NML had a global impact
in
the field of metallurgy and materials science. High citations received were in
the areas of materials science, metallurgical
engineering,
nanoscience & nanotechnology and environmental engineering over the last
decades as observed during the
period 2001-2010. The h-index of the last
decade was 25. |
