A selective review of bibliometric studies on Indian physics and astronomy research output

152-169This 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

Bibliometrics and scientometrics in India: An overview of studies during 1995-2014Part II: Contents of the articles in terms of disciplines and their bibliometric aspects

This part of the study highlights the contents of the published articles in terms of various disciplines or sub-disciplines and the bibliometric aspects discussed in these articles. The analysis of 902 papers published by Indian scholars during1995-2014 indicates that the main focus of bibliometrics/scientometrics is on assessment of science and technology in India in different sub-disciplines including contributions by Indian states and other individual countries followed by bibliometric analysis of individual journals. Papers dealing with bibliometric laws received a low priority as compared to other subdisciplines of bibliometrics/scientometrics. The analysis of data indicates that the share of theoretical studies using mathematical and statistical techniques which were missing in the earlier period (1970-1994) has increased during 1995-2014. The field of medicine as a discipline received the highest attention as compared to other disciplines

Producción científica y visibilidad de los investigadores de la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid en las bases de datos del ISI, 1997-2003

Los objetivos planteados en esta tesis son conocer los hábitos de publicación de los investigadores adscritos a un conjunto de áreas/departamentos de la UC3M, durante el período 1997-2003, en las bases de datos del Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), identificando la calidad de las publicaciones recogidas (documentos propios y citas recibidas), medida ésta en términos de impacto y visibilidad, y relacionando esta calidad con los hábitos de publicación obtenidos. La metodología utilizada en el trabajo ha requerido la aplicación conjunta de técnicas estadísticas (univariantes, bivariantes y multivariantes), y del análisis de redes sociales, para la construcción de indicadores bibliométricos unidimensionales y multidimensionales, tanto de la producción científica identificada como de las citas recibidas por la misma. Entre las conclusiones del estudio destaca que tanto la producción como las citas recibidas en todas las áreas/departamentos analizados tienen una tendencia ascendente, que los trabajos se realizan habitualmente en colaboración, así como que las temáticas con mayor producción son Física y Matemáticas, que gran parte de la investigación se publica en revistas situadas en el primer cuartil del Journal Citation Reports (JCR), y que esta actividad investigadora recibe normalmente citas de revistas con igual o mejor posición en el JCR en función de su Factor de Impacto
