Abstract - The study focuses on author productivity and scholarly impact in publications associated with the University of Madras from 2000 to 2024 using a scientometric approach.

The research aims to identify prolific and influential authors, analyse citation patterns, and track publication trends over time. Lotka’s Law was applied to assess the distribution of author productivity and contribution patterns within the research community. The study also highlights the most cited authors, leading journals, and emerging areas of collaboration and research growth. The findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the University’s research landscape, scholarly influence, and contribution to global academic development, offering insights into how research productivity and impact have evolved over the past two decades.
