MAPPING OF PHYSICS OUTPUT FROM SELECTED UNIVERSITIES OF INDIA DURING 2001-2010: A STUDY BASED ON WEB OF SCIENCE
Keywords:
Physics, Universities, Scientometrics, IndiaAbstract
The present study attempts to analyze the mapping of physics output during the year 2001-2010 as reflected by Web of Science. The study deals 744 contributions (output) of various Indian Universities especially in the field of Physics. It examines the contribution of various universities under heading like publication culture and year wise growth of publication, strong and weak area of physics output with special references to the selected universities in India, contribution of authors of universities in International and National Journals (most preferred journals) and to find out the most prolific authors of the universities and their rank.
