TL;DR: The Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP) is one of the prestigious autonomous research institutes under the Department of Atomic Energy, Govt. of India as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP) is one of the prestigious autonomous research institutes under the Department of Atomic Energy, Govt. of India. The present study is carried out to identify the research performance of the scientists of SINP during 2005-2016. For this purpose, a total number of 3694 articles as reflected in Web of Science (WoS) database have been retrieved and evaluated on the basis of year, authorship, publication pattern, source journal, impact factor, collaborating institution, country, research area and citation. Out of total publications, the international collaborative research output constitute 41.20% share and western developed nations i.e. USA, Germany, Italy have been found as the most favoured countries for collaborations. The institute has produced significant number of research articles participating with international collaboration experimental groups or consortia like ALISC, CMS, MAGIC and PICASSO. The scientists of SINP also select some foreign reputed journals to publish their maximum research findings and of these, Physics Letters B journal has been found as the most preferred source journal.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a thorough review to map the quantum of knowledge relating to "institutional research productivity" correlating the Indian vista and offer a few recommendations to undertake evaluative studies with caution.
Abstract: The quantification of scholarly performance has become an obvious necessity in many academic pursuits. Evaluation of research output is, therefore, an integral element of R&D institutions worldwide. This paper critically scrutinizes the literature on research productivity concerning scientific institutions (include universities and departments) in an informational context. It provides a thorough review to map the quantum of knowledge relating to ‘institutional research productivity’ correlating the Indian vista. The paper also offers a few recommendations to undertake evaluative studies with caution. Thus it shows a coherent picture of this emerging area in the sociology of science.

TL;DR: In this article, a scientometric study assesses the publication output of the scientists of Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) during 2008 to 2017 as reflected in the Web of Science database to figure out the research performance, scholarly communication behaviour and its citation impact.
Abstract: The present scientometric study assesses the publication output of the scientists of Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) during 2008 to 2017 as reflected in the Web of Science database to figure out the research performance, scholarly communication behaviour and its citation impact. The scientists of IACS contribute total 4,304 research articles including 22.58 percent international collaborated articles. Further, the publications have been evaluated in terms of year, types of collaboration, authorship pattern, source journals, impact factor, collaborating institutions, collaborating countries and citations. It is found that majority of the published articles are produced by three authored and the international collaborated articles which receive wider citation impact. The developed countries like USA, Japan, Germany and England are found as the most favoured countries by the scientists of IACS for research collaboration and the Journal of Physical Chemistry C shares maximum research articles. Further, Pareto’s 80/20 principle has also been applied to examine the scattering of journals as well as articles and the VOS viewer software has been used for mapping the network of collaborating countries.

TL;DR: The present study reveals Indian authorship trend and their contribution in five selected highly cited journals of American Physical Society (APS) as reflected in the Web of Science (WoS) database and found that the Indian scientists involved in high energy physics produced significant research articles under international collaborative experimental groups to share cost, infrastructure and capabilities.
Abstract: The present study reveals Indian authorship trend and their contribution in five selected highly cited journals of American Physical Society (APS) as reflected in the Web of Science (WoS) database. During 2004-2018, India placed 11th rank having 4.6% contribution and Indian scientists published total 9,823 research articles including 50.98% international collaboration. The Physical Review D (PRD) journal published majority of Indian authored articles which also get larger citations impact and developed European countries like USA, Germany and France were the leading collaborating countries. Maximum articles received citations in the range of ≥1 <10 and only 194 articles attracted at least 100 or more citations. It is also found that the Indian scientists involved in high energy physics produced significant research articles under international collaborative experimental groups like ALICE, ATLAS, STAR etc to share cost, infrastructure and capabilities. The study will be helpful for policy makers and scientists in identifying Indian researchers’ publication pattern in the selected APS journals of repute.

TL;DR: A review of 159 bibliometric studies on Indian physics and astronomy research output is presented in this paper , where the distribution of the 159 papers from1964 to 2020, contributing authors and specific subject domains are analysed.
Abstract: This paper presents a review of 159 bibliometric studies on Indian physics and astronomy research output. The distribution of the 159 papers from1964 to 2020, contributing authors and specific subject domains are analysed. It is found that current research topics of physics and astronomy are hardly selected for the bibliometric study. A few papers incorporate currently relevant aspects of bibliometric analysis to carry out the studies. Both facets, i.e., bibliometrics and physics & astronomy as tool and subject respectively, need to be focussed upon as per the requirement and relevance of time.

Abstract: This paper analyses quantitatively the growth and development of Nuclear Science and Technology research in India in terms of publication output as reflected in International Nuclear Information System (INIS) (1970-2002) database. During 1970-2002 a total of 55313 papers were published by the Indian Nuclear scientists in various domains: Physics (23033), Chemistry (16368), Life and Environmental Sciences (7203), Engineering and Technology (6960), Other Aspects of Nuclear and Non Nuclear Energy (981) and Isotopes and Radiation Application (768). Year-wise growth of publications and input of records to INIS database by India and other countries were analysed. The total number of records input to INIS database by India was 30356 (54.88%) and by other countries and international organizations 24957 (45.12%). The average number of papers published per year was 1676.15. The average Indian contribution to the world literature was 2.25%. Authorship and collaboration trend was towards multi-authored papers. Intensive international collaboration was found during the period and bilateral collaboration accounted for 80.06% of the total collaborative papers. More than 99% of publications were published in English. More than 60% of publications were published in journals. Most preferred journals by the scientists were Pramana 1327 (3.95%), Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Physics 1104 (3.29%), Physical Review-D 925 (2.75%), Journal of the Indian Chemical Society 783 (2.33%) and Indian Journal of Chemistry-A 734 (2.19%).
