Polymer Science Research in India: A Scientometrics Study
Author(s): Kranti V. Mete & Dr. Sanjay Wagh
Abstract - Polymer Science & Technology is a leading field in material science. India has a good no. of institutions carrying research in Polymer Science, including IIT, NIT and institutes of national importance. Measuring the research productivity of the institutions, country is carried out by means of Scientometrics study. Evaluation of scientific research through Scientometrics is a well-accepted and recognised process worldwide. The Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus international database are comprehensive in measuring the research publications in all kinds of the universe of knowledge. The present paper attempts to assess the Scientific research output of India in Polymer Science. The total no. of research publications in Polymer Science during 2010-2020 is found to be 25044. The highest relative growth rate is 13.49 in 2014, followed by 11.68 in 2013.
Keywords - Scientometrics, Polymer Science, India.
