Scientometric Analysis of Research Productivity of Jadavpur University in Physics (1990-2019)

In this article the researchers have taken up a scientometric method to explore the research performance of the Jadavpur University in the scientific discipline of Physics. The main objective of the study is to determine the research productivity over a 30-years period (1990-2019), as well as the number of citations, collaborations, and authorship trends that have taken place. The bibliographic and citation data were obtained from the Scopus database. Scientometric techniques and software, such as, Bibliometrics package of R environment as well as VoSViewer were used to analyze the data. The conclusions indicate that the faculty members’ research productivity is growing in a linear pattern, while their publications are receiving more citations, and their journals have a higher and profound Impact Factor. It is basically to explore the co-authorship pattern, co-occurrence of keywords and co-citation network as well. It is also observed that the Jadavpur University researchers have produced significant research articles through the collaboration of foreign researchers and thereby expanded interdisciplinary studies.
