sciences too. They account for significant research outcomes with a high number of citations,

growth rate of research publication year wise, have the most productive authors, authorship

pattern, productivity per capita, degree of collaboration etc. Recently, automated workflows to

assemble specialized software into comprehensive and organized data flow have begun to emerge

for Scientometric study. In this paper, we propose to use an open source and unique tool,

developed and produced in R language, for classic logical bibliometrics analysis.

I. Introduction

The Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) being one of the world’s largest publicly

funded research organizations, was set up by Govt. of India back in 1942. It is basically one of the

World’s leading R&D organization spanning across all over India from north to south & east to

west respectively having 38 specialized laboratories , 3 Innovation Complexes , 5 units ,39

outreach centres dealing with diversified areas of Science, Technology & Engineering in the field

of Physical Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Biochemical & Biological Sciences, Mathematical

Sciences, Food Sciences, Ocean Sciences ,Geophysical Sciences, Earth & Environmental

Sciences, Material Sciences Leather sciences, Information Sciences, aeronautics, mining &

metallurgy, instrumentation, environmental engineering , Civil & structural engineering,

information technology & other Inter- & trans-disciplinary areas too. CSIR has been ranked 17th

in the world amongst the government institutions across the globe according to the prestigious

Scimago Institutions Rankings 2019 Report. CSIR-India is among India's most vivid research

producing organizations.

As per Kelkar Committee report, since 2012, CSIR labs can be better evaluated by considering

them in the role of a research university. Main purpose of AcSIR (Academy of Scientific &

Innovative Research) is to facilitate the granting of doctoral and post-doctoral degrees through

CSIR Labs in science & engineering allied areas.

AcSIR curriculum encourages students to undertake a project as a part of CSIR-800 programme

which plays a major role for the benefit of the society especially in rural belt by contributing in

various key areas like food, health, water, environment, agriculture, education, energy for the

enhanced income & improved quality of life for the 130 crore population of India. Around 3000

students have already graduated from AcSIR. Currently, AcSIR has more than 4000 Students

Page | 3

enrolled in Ph.D., Integrated Dual Degree Program (M.Tech+Ph.D), Integrated M.Sc-Ph.D,

MTech, M.Sc. and PG Diploma courses. CSIR-NCL is one of a leading R & D lab under AcSIR.

CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), a premier research laboratory founded in 1950 under

the aegis of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) based in the cultural & industrial

capital town Pune of Maharashtra. NCL is playing a vital role in world class research in chemical,

physical, biological and related sciences & engineering being fully funded by Ministry of Science

& Technology, Govt. Of India. Many Successful Partnerships with Industries for research,

development & manufacturing products has been moving with tandem too since a long while back.

NCL's human resource is being strengthened by more than 500 personnel from whom around 150

are scientists, 50 are technical staffs with advanced degrees in science, technology or engineering.

Around 450 students pursue their doctoral research leading to Ph.D degree which is the highest in

chemical sciences discipline in India. More than 450 research papers in Chemical & allied sciences

are being published in peer reviewed international journals every year which is the second highest

in India. H index of NCL being 179 & 349101 citations since it’s inception proves it’s mettle itself.

More than 100 odd Indian and foreign patents granted to CSIR-NCL almost annually which covers

the largest number of patents filed by any CSIR R & D Laboratory.

Scientometric study is the most common assessment method these days meant for quantifying the

scientific output of any entity. Today evaluation plays a key role everywhere for the accountability

& decision-making issue. After all, public money is been invested for which this type of study is

becoming essential in every field. Various scientometric indicators has been widely available for

determining the research outcome of any leading organisation.

Research publications are either fee based or open source widely known as open access

publications. Open Access (OA) journals are scholarly journals that are available to the readers

through the Internet without financial or any other barrier and provide Unrestricted over online

access to articles distributed in academic diaries. There are two ways for scholarly publications to

accessible OA, either specifically provided by the journal publisher known as Gold OA, or placing

a version of an author’s manuscript into a repository and making it freely accessible for everyone

(with Green OA). Both choices increment the potential readership and access of any research

publications to a wider community of people with Internet get to and by implication accelerate the

spread of newly emerging research thoughts.

Table-2 reveals that year wise contributions of non-open access and open access publications with

year wise contributions percentage. Where (CT) represent number of received citations, (ACPP)

represent average citations per-paper. There is no significant difference received citations. If we

compare both type of publications contributions, Open access contributions are relevantly more in

comparison to it’s counterpart.

Findings and Conclusion

It is observed that the total number of publications by CSIR-NCL, Pune during the last ten

years is 5372. We have also found from the data, the highest number of publications was

in the year of 2015 (number of publications = 653, Percentage = 12.16 %).

In terms of year wise H-index output of CSIR-NCL as it is reflected that in the year 2014

H-index records the highest of 54 and overall during the period of study 103 respectively.

Maximum number of documents are collaborations with United States 47 (0.87 %) number

of documents followed by France 35 (0.65 %), Germany 34 (0.63 %)

Citations are received from more than 76 countries including India. Total “100126”

Citations are received. We found that maximum number of citations are received from

INDIA total 69607 citations with (69.52 %) followed by USA 1767 (1.76), SINGAPORE

1149 (1.45) etc.

There is no significant difference of the received citations. If we compare (open access &

non-open access) type of publications contributions, Open access contributions are more.

NCL scientists and researchers has published their research publications in more then 300+

sources. RSC Advances is the most preferred journal by the CSIR-NCL researchers.

It has been observed that apart from Chemical Engineering/Chemistry subjects (90 %+),

NCL is been involved in various other diversified research areas that include almost all

branches of science & engineering including Physics, Engineering, Biology, Mathematics,

Earth Science, along with research work on subjects like Social Science, Humanities,

Environmental Science, Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Pharmaceutics too.

Large number of publications noticed to be multi-authored.

Only 2 % of documents are single authored.

Out of 5372 publications, 4851 (90.35 %) were articles.
