Big Data: A Scientometric Analysis Based on Indian Publications
(Uva Wellassa University of Sri Lanka, 2019) Alagu, A.; Thanuskodi, S.; Dhanya, P.
The present research was carried out with the purpose of evaluating the growth and characteristics of big data research output by India. This study has been assumed with the purpose of examining the literature published on ‘Big data’ in Web of Science (WOS) database by Indian scientists. WOS covers nearly 20000 + titles from over 3300 publishers, of which supported 256 disciplines. The ‘Big Data’ was used to search the article indexed in Web of Science for retrieving the results. Total of 714 documents were indexed in web of science from India. The data were exported to MS-Excel where the tabulation and simple statistical methods was applied. All these articles published in 477 journals during the period 2008-2017. From these Journal of Pharmaceutical Biological and Chemical Sciences Research were found to be most productive and preferred by Indian scientists for their scientific communication. A significant note of the study is that the majority of the articles are contributed by multiple authors. In this study single author has contributed 67 (9.38) papers in this study. Two and three authors contributed papers occupying first and second in the order, it is calculated 221 (30.95) and149 (20.87) respectively. Four authors contributing to the research occupies the third rank with 99 (13.87) and single author occupy the fourth rank at 67 (9.38). Five authors and ten+ authors placed fifth and sixth ranks with 63 (8.82), 44 (6.16) respectively. Six authors and seven authors contribute papers got seventh and eighth rank with 29 (4.06), 15 (2.10). Remaining eight authors 12 (1.68), nine authors 9 (1.26) and ten and above authors 6(0.84) contribute papers placed ninth, tenth and eleventh rank respectively. The study also analyzed the year wise distribution, document wise distribution, author wise distribution, and top ranked Institute in the field.

(Uva Wellassa University of Sri Lanka, 2019) Kishore Kumar, S.; Alex, P.
This study explores to identify the research growth on marine biology publications from the period of 1999-2017. Data was collected from the Science Citation Index (SCIExpanded), Web of Science (WoS). The WoS is the search platform provided by Thomson Reuters. The distribution of publications based on the year of publication, country, language, and document type were studied. The relative growth rate of the publications and doubling time is calculated. This study focused on the bibliometric analysis of research publications in Marine Biology. Data was collected from the Science Citation Index (SCI-Expanded), Web of Science (WoS). The WoS is the search platform provided by Thomson Reuters (the former Thomson Scientific emerged from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), Philadelphia). SCI database is one of the very comprehensive databases covering all aspects of science. The records were analyzed using the web of science website application as per the objectives of the study. Microsoft Excel software was also used to analyze the data. A total of 4,290 records were identified and downloaded in the field of Marine Biology worldwide during the period 1999- 2017. The records were analyzed using the web of science website application as per the objectives of the study. Microsoft Excel software was also used to analyze the data. The research output shows a continuous increase during the period of study which reveals that the Marine Biology Research was in steady growth. Most of the publications are published in Journals shows that authors are interested in publishing Journal articles. Most of the researches are done in the English language. The United States of America published more articles in Marine Biology. Most of the favorite research area was Marine Fresh Water Biology. Growth rate and Double time analysis also shows that the higher growth trend in this particular period of study. These findings of the Scientometric study on Marine Biology will be helpful for the Marine Biologists for further research in these areas.

This paper attempts to study the performance of child labor in India from 2008 to 2017. Total 251 articles were published during this period. The data was retrieved from the Web of Science and analyzed to know the authorship pattern, degree of collaboration and geographical distribution of papers, year-wise research output, geographical distribution of research output, and nature of collaboration, characteristics of highly productive institution and the channel of communication used by the scientists. Singh A was the most productive author with six records and also the highest global citation of 36. World Development was the most preferred by authors of India for publishing child labour related research as well as the highly cited journal in this field. Out of 251 papers, 248 are published in the English language. USA is the collaboration with India and second position is UK with 37 records. To assess this research productivity, Relative Growth Rate (RGR), doubling time, degree of collaboration and selected research indicators were used. For this study the data is retrieved from Web of Science. Fluctuation are shown in RGR and Doubling time during the study period. The highest publication productivity found in the year 2016.

The paper provides a bird’s view about the Materials Science research in the global level as it is necessity of quantifying the research conducted in the field of Materials Science by applying various Scientometric indices and techniques. The study uses Science Citation Index of ISI Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science to collect the data. The scientometric data were collected for fifteen years spanning 2002 to 2016 of top fifteen countries in the field of Materials Science. The findings of the study reveal that the percentage share of material science publications is 5.61% out of total scientific publications of the World; the study indicates that the China identified as productive country in the world with 2,87,736 publications, followed by the USA (2,17,422). There is an exponential growth of publication for the world (R2 = 0.967) in Materials Science field; the Annual Growth Rate (RGR) is highest for Iran (through it ranked fifteenth in terms of publications), i.e. 27.00; Activity Index is more than one for nine countries (Japan – 1.093, Russia – 1.043, France – 1.035, England – 1.031, USA – 1.008, Germany – 1.006, Italy – 1.004, Taiwan – 1.003 and Canada – 1.003) which indicates that the research efforts of these countries correspond to the world’s average.It is evident from the study that USA (1.48), England (1.19), Australia (1.14), Germany (1.09) and France (1.07) have more than one PEI which clearly indicates that there is an impact of publications in Materials Science by these countries is more than the research effort devoted during 2002 to 2016. China topped the list with the highest mean value of Relative Comparative Advantage for Publication (RCAP) i.e. 2.23. RCAP value of China, South Korea, Taiwan, India, Iran, Japan, Russia and France are more than one. The data indicate that these countries are specialized in the field of Materials Science.
