Global Research Report - Research and Collaboration in India - The New Geography of Science
by Dhanukumar Pattanashetti 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Dear Moderator, Please post this to LIS Forum. Thank you. Dear Professionals, Thomson Reuters recently released the Global Research Report – India. This report is part of a series launched by Thomson Reuters to inform policymakers about the changing landscape and dynamics of the global research base. Web of Science is the key resource leveraged in publishing this report. Key highlights of Global Research Report - India: - In the last decade, India has seen a substantial growth in its annual output of scientific publications as indexed by Thomson Reuters—from roughly 16,500 in 1998 to nearly 30,000 in 2007, an increase of some 80%. - Particularly striking is the rise in India’s annual growth rate in the last seven or eight years, based on its successive percentage increases in the number of published papers. India’s growth in this regard, although largely static through the 1990s, has vaulted in recent years to rival comparable figures from such well-established European and Asian nations as Japan, France, German, and the United Kingdom. - If its growth trajectory continues, India’s productivity will be on par with most G8 nations within seven to eight years and will overtake them between within the next decade. - India’s areas of scientific concentration and strength, as reflected in the Thomson Reuters database, embrace a diversity of key fields: Chemistry, Agricultural Sciences, Materials, Engineering, and Space Science. India’s historical strength in agriculture, in particular, can be discerned from its concentration in such subfields as Agricultural Engineering, Dairy & Animal Science, and Agronomy. The nation is also strongly represented in medical subfields, including Tropical Medicine, Integrative & Complementary Medicine, and Medicinal Chemistry. - India has established stable and growing research partnerships with a variety nations — notably, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Among international institutions, India has published frequently with such world-class organizations as the University of Tokyo and the University of Texas system, not to mention with institutions in other emerging research economies in the East, including those in China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. - In all, India’s current rise in science is as impressive as its economic surge of recent years, and as India builds on its scientific enterprise and further diversifies its research base and its collaborative networks, the nation is certain to claim its place at the forefront of world science.
