| Summary: | The bibliometric study analysed the research productivity of physicists at the Indian
Institute of Science (IISc) and the University of Kerala (KU) during 2004-2008. The
paper gives a summary and review of the various research evaluation studies of
institutions and disciplines. There were 352 research articles listed in the Physics
doctoral theses of both the institutions, including 267 from the IISc and 85 from the
KU. The authorship trend is towards multi-authored papers in IISc and solo research
is predominant in the KU The degree of collaboration of publication was calculated to
be 0.94 in IISc researchers and 0.40 in the case of the KU. Journals are the most
preferred channel of publication of IISc researchers while KU researchers prefer to
publish their research findings mostly in national seminars. The study shows that the
Phys. Rev. B tops the list of IISc physicists' choice of journals for publication with 16
publications (9.58%). The KU researchers prefer to publish their research results
mostly in Indian journal of Radio and Space Physics with 10 articles 25.64%. Elsevier
Science publisher is the most common publisher preferred by the Physicists of both
institutions. |
