Abstract

This study analyzed the growth of research publications in the field of Nanosenors. A total of 1925 records were downloaded from Web of science database. The findings revealed that Chinese Academy of Sciences and University of Michigan were the major producers in Nanasensors research output. The top ten journals produced more than one by fourth of the total research output and in the contribution of countries, USA dominated the field with 759 records Further Contribution of journals, ranking of authors, preference of publication and frequency of keywords were also analyzed in this paper. The study also applied statistical tools such as Relative Growth Rate (RGR), Doubling Time etc. and Histographic analysis using Histcite.
