Research Productivity of Mizoram University from 2004 to 2017, A Scientometric Study Based on Indian Citation Index

Indian Citation Index is a major web-based citation database that provides access to the Indian publications across all disciplines published in journals/serials or other documents. The current study evaluated the research productivity of Mizoram University based on the data collected from Indian Citation Index for fourteen years from 2004-2017. This study endeavours to analyse the overall performance of the faculty members of the Mizoram University in research productivity. During the study, a total of 265 articles were collected from Indian Citation Index between the years 2004-2017. The study endeavours to measure the year-wise distribution of publication output, co-authorship index, and collaborative index, degree of collaboration, collaboration coefficient, modified collaboration coefficient, most productive author, top-ranked subjects and top-ranked publications based on the collected data. The result of the study indicates that the average research output is 18.93 articles per year. The most productive author was U. K. Sahoo department of Forestry with 25 publications. The highest rank publication was Current Science with 16 publications. Highest publications have been given by Biological Science subject which is 54 and research article 230 was a preferred document by the scientists of Mizoram University during 2004-2017.

Scientometric Study

Astronomy is the oldest of the natural sciences. It is well known that the period covering about seven centuries, from Aryabhata to Bhaskaracharya II (c. 476-1150), was the golden age of Indian astronomy. In the present study, we identify research trends and the growth of knowledge in the field of astronomy science research. The study is an essential tool to measure the scientific publications in the field. This study analyses the publications of astronomy research in India published during 1991-1995 and 2011-2015. The study assesses how astronomy progresses in India and its impact is reflected in the science citation index over the period 1991-1995 and 2011-2015. The publication output has been analyzed using quantitative and qualitative indicators, such as progress in research article publishing, change in authorship patterns, citation patterns during 1991-1995 and 2011-2015, articles that received the most citations, and international collaboration with other countries. Further, the study investigated highly prolific authors and highly preferred journals. The author is from one of the FORSA institutes, therefore the study includes a separate ranking for FORSA institutes in term of output as well citations.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the quantum of research papers and the citations these papers received for the plantJatropha curcas Linn.Design/methodology/approachArticles published onJatropha curcas Linnduring 1987–2016 were downloaded from Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCIE) by using the keyword Jatropha* on October 18, 2017. The search resulted in 4,276 records in all. The authors analyzed only 4,111 documents which were published as review articles, research articles and proceeding papers using the complete count methodology. The data were analyzed to examine the pattern of growth of output, most prolific countries, institutions and authors. It also identified highly cited authors and journals used for communicating research results.FindingsThe study indicates that India, China and Brazil are the main contributors to the field and the pattern of growth indicates a steep rise in publication output especially in the last block of 2015–2016. Most of the prolific institutions and authors were also located in these countries. However, the impact of output was different from the pattern of output. The publication output is scattered in more than 1,000 journals published from different parts of the globe.Originality/valueThe plant ofJatropha curcas Linnis a highly useful plant as a source of biofuel energy. This is the second study in English language on this plant and has used a large set of publication data as compared to the first. The findings of the study may be useful for policy makers as well as for researchers working in the field of biofuel energy.

Research Article

During the last years, several infectious diseases have caused widespread nationwide epidemics that affected information seeking behaviours, people mobility, economics and research trends. Examples of these epidemics are 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic in mainland China and Hong Kong, 2014–2016 Ebola epidemic in Guinea and Sierra Leone, 2015–2016 Zika epidemic in Brazil, Colombia and Puerto Rico and the recent COVID-19 epidemic in China and other countries. In this research article, we investigate the effect of large-scale outbreaks of infectious diseases on the research productivity and landscape of nations through the analysis of the research outputs of main countries affected by SARS, Zika and Ebola epidemics as returned by Web of Science Core Collection. Despite the mobility restrictions and the limitations of work conditions due to the epidemics, we surprisingly found that the research characteristics and productivity of the countries that have excellent or moderate research traditions and communities are not affected by infectious epidemics due to their robust long-term research structures and policy. Similarly, large-scale infectious outbreaks can even boost the research productivity of countries with limited research traditions thanks to international capacity building collaborations provided by organisations and associations from leading research countries.
