ABSTRACT

Aim: The present study is aimed on to perform Scientometric assessment of global publications output of research on nano‑enabled drug delivery (NEDD) during 1995–2018.Materials and Methods: A quantitative and qualitative description of NEDD research in India is presented here based on measures such as growth rate, global publications share, share of international collaborative papers, citations per paper, and highly cited papers. It was examined India’s research output on NEDD on a series of bibliometric indicators.Results: India published a total of 5897 publications in 24 years during 1995–2018, registering an average annual growth rate of 42.99%, citation impact of 22.90 citations per paper, global publication share of 11.11%, and international collaborative publication share of 20.35%. Profiles global publication output and share of top 10 most productive countries in NEDD research, 20 most productive Indian organizations and 20 most productive Indian authors on a series of indicators including publications output, number of citations, the relative citation index, citations per paper, h‑index, and share of international collaborative papers during 1995–2018.Conclusion: This study describes the scattering of research output of India across source journals and distribution of research by subject areas that intersect with NEDD research. It suggests the need for India to develop specific plans of action and ensure its implementation at the national level and also prioritize national goals for NEDD research.
