Study of Research Output of Jamia Millia Islamia in Natural Sciences: an Analytical Study Shailendra Kumar

Present era has seen emergence of new subjects and their development at a very fast pace. An interdependency of these subjects, their scope and impact is however expanding very fast. It is becoming increasingly difficult to measure the different aspects of research output, especially in case of application oriented, interdisciplinary subjects. Indicators based on research papers published in the international scientific journal literature are particularly useful for providing internationally comparable data on an academic institution?s scientific performance. These so called ?bibliometric? indicators can be used to establish an institution?s share in the volume of international research papers within a particular scientific discipline, its International scientific ?impact? in terms of references in the worldwide scientific literature to these papers, or the national and international scientific collaboration in terms of co-authored research publications. The aim of this study is to analyse quantitatively the literature contributed by the faculty at Jamia Millia Islamia.
