An analysis of 17,344 papers published by Indian scientists and indexed by Web of Science in the discipline of organic chemistry and its sub-disciplines during 2004-2013 indicates that the Indian output has increased significantly in the later period. Academic institutions contributed about 46% of the total output followed by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) with 26% of the total output. The most prolific institutions among them mainly belonging to academic institutions and CSIR contributed about 60% of the total output. The value of citation per paper for most of the prolific institutions was higher than the Indian average. Similar trend was observed for the relative citation impact. Indian researchers in the discipline of organic chemistry published their papers in international journals with impact factor greater than 1. About 11% of the papers published by Indian scientists in the discipline of organic chemistry during 2004-2013 remained uncited.Keywords

An analysis of 35,640 papers published by Indian scientists as journal articles and reviews in journals indexed by Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) in 2008 revealed that 6231 (17.5%) papers remained uncited during 2008-2013. Most of the uncited papers were published by State Agricultural Universities and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. The highest proportion of uncited papers was in the discipline of agricultural sciences followed by multidisciplinary and mathematical sciences. These uncited papers appeared in journals published from India, Singapore, Romania and Japan with low impact factor (IF). Lowest number of uncited papers was published by the Department of Biotechnology. It was also found that a small fraction of papers published in journals with IF more than 5 also remained uncited.Keywords

Publishing in scholarly peer-reviewed journals causes long delays from submission to its subsequent publication. This may be due to the long peer-review process or backlog of manuscripts waiting in line in the journals. The present study examines the publication delay in 13 journals published by CSIR-NISCAIR at three different stages. These were delays between receipt of manuscript and its revision, editorial delay, revision and its subsequent publication, i.e. technical delay, and the total delay. The study examined 1223 articles published in these 13 journals in the year 2015, except for 1 journal for which data for 2104 have been used. The analysis indicates that the publication delay varied from one discipline to another and from one journal to another journal. The highest time delay was found to be for the Indian Journal of Chemical Technology, and lowest for the Indian Journal of Chemistry - A. The total publication delay varied between 5.2 and 22.4 months. In most of the journals, the reason for delay was technical.Keywords

An analysis of 4165 papers published during 2005-2014 on male breast cancer and indexed by Science Citation Index-Expanded indicates that the publication output in this nascent field is increasing steadily. The output is scattered among 91 countries, and USA ranks first in the publication output as well as impact in terms of citations per paper (CPP) and relative citation impact (RCI). The global compound annual growth rate during the period of study is 6.2. Change in transformative activity index is highest for the People's Republic of China (PRC). However, impact of research output is low for PRC. The research output is highly scattered in terms of prolific institutions, authors and journals publishing research results. Most of the prolific institutions are located in USA. Among the prolific institutions, the highest value of CPP and RCI was for Massachusetts General Hospital (USA), and among authors the highest value of CPP and RCI was for Thompson D. from the University of Cambridge (England).Keywords

An analysis of 17,344 papers published by Indian scientists and indexed by Web of Science in the discipline of organic chemistry during 2004–2013 indicates that collaborative coefficient has increased during the later years (2011–2013). Of the total published papers, 6312 (36.4%) were due to domestic and international collaboration. The share of papers in domestic collaboration was 77.3% (4882) and international collaboration was 22.7% (1430). Among the international collaborating countries, India had published highest number of papers with the USA followed by Germany. Academic institutions followed by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) contributed the highest number of papers in domestic as well as in international collaboration. However, the value of domestic collaborative index and international collaborative index was less than 100 for both the sectors. The labs funded by CSIR also topped the list of institutions having domestic and international collaborative papers. The compound annual growth rate in domestic and international collaborative papers was 4.7 and 5.3 respectively. The value of domestic collaborative index was highest for CSIR-CDRI, Lucknow and international collaborative index for Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai.Keywords

An analysis of 4168 research papers on male breast cancer (MBC) published by different countries and indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded during 2005–2014 indicates that only 15% of the papers were non-collaborative and the rest were published either in domestic or international collaboration. The sub-field of MBC had a high proportion of domestic collaboration. The number of papers written with domestic collaboration was almost three times the number of papers written with international collaboration. The value of co-authorship index (CAI) decreased in single-, twoand multi-authored papers in the second block 2010–2014 as compared to the first block (2005– 2009). Higher value of CAI for mega-authored papers reflects higher collaborative coefficient (CC) in 2010–2014. The highest value of CC is for the sub-field S9 (genetics and heredity). This is also indicated by the highest value of CAI for mega-authored papers in this subfield. Among 17 highly productive institutions, CC value is more or equal to the global value of CC for 10 prolific institutions.Keywords
