Astrophysics is a branch of space science that applies the laws of physics and chemistry to explain the birth, life and death of stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae and other objects in the universe. Astrophysics creates physical theories of small to medium-size structures in the universe. Astrophysicists seek to understand the universe and our place in it. At NASA, the goals of astrophysics are "to discover how the universe work, explore how it began and evolved, and search for life on planets around other stars." This study analyzes the Astrophysics research output in India from the year 1989-2014. The data was downloaded from web of science database which was maintained by Thomson Reuters. The findings of the study revealed that two authors has the maximum of contribution with 3673 (28.81%) publication followed by three authors with 2875 (22.55%).

This study analyzes the Astrophysics research output in India from the year 1989-2016. The data was downloaded from web of science database which was maintained by Thomson Reuters. The findings of the study revealed that The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research has contributed 2725 records in astrophysics research during the study period of 1989-2016. This institute’s h index based local citation score is (LCS) 23 and h-index based on the local citation score excluding self- citations is (LCSX)15 and Global citation score (GCS) is 89.The time series analysis study shows the future trend of growth in astrophysics research output in India might take a decreasing trend during the years to come.

The study analyzes the Marine drugs research output from the year 1989-2017. The data was downloaded from the Web of Science maintained by Thomson Reuters. The findings of the study revealed that the highest number of TLCS and TGCS witnessed in the year 2010 i.e. 1131 (9.63%) and 10381 (7.29%). The study shows that a major source of publication in Marine Drugs research comes in the form of articles and India with 416 records ranked the third position among the country-wise distribution of records.

UNSTRUCTURED We read with great interest the study by Grammes et al. on research output and international cooperation among countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper is a quantitative study using scientometric analysis instead of a qualitative research using citation analysis. A total of 7,185 publications were extracted from Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) with keywords of “covid19 OR covid-19 OR sarscov2 OR sars-cov-2” as of July 4, 2020. We replicated a citation analysis study to extract abstracts from Pubmed Central(PMC) with similar keywords mentioned above and obtained 35,421 articles relevant to COVID-10 matching their corresponding number of citation in PMC. one hundred top-cited atricles were selected and compared on diagrams. Social network analysis combined with citation numbers in articles was performed to analyze international cooperation among countries. The results were shown on a world map instead of the circle diagram in the previous study. A Sankey diagram was applied to highlight entities(e.g., countries, article types, medical subject headings, and journals) with the most citations. Authors from Chian dominated citations in these 100 top-cited articles rather than the US in publications addressed in the previous study. Both visual representations of the world map and Sankey diagram were provided to readers with a better understanding of the research output and international cooperation among countries during the COVID-19 pandemic

Ranaviruses are large nucleocytoplasmic DNA viruses that infect ectothermic vertebrates. Here we report the results of a scientometric analysis of the field of ranavirology for the last 10 years. Using bibliometric tools we analyse trends, identify top publications and journals, and visualise the ranavirus collaboration landscape. The Web of Science core collection contains 545 ranavirus-related publications from 2010 to 2019, with more publications produced every year and a total of 6830 citations. Research output is primarily driven by the United States and People’s Republic of China, who together account for more than 60% of ranavirus publications. We also observed a positive correlation between the average number of co-authors on ranavirus publications and the year of publication, indicating that overall collaboration is increasing. A keyword analysis of ranavirus publications from 2010 to 2019 reveals several areas of research interest including; ecology, immunology, virology/molecular biology, genetics, ichthyology, and herpetology. While ranavirus research is conducted globally, relatively few publications have co-authors from both European and Asian countries, possibly because closer countries (geographical distance) are more likely to share co-authors. To this end, efforts should be made to foster collaborations across geopolitical and cultural boundaries, especially between countries with shared research interests as ultimately, understanding global pathogens, like ranaviruses, will require global collaboration.

Pediatric is a division of medicine dealing with the well-being and health check care of infants, children and adolescents. Pediatric is a newly developed medical branch, it was started developing only in the mid-19th century. “Abraham Jacobi” (1830–1919) is the father of pediatric. The American Academy of Pediatric [AAP] suggested that, the people should be under pediatric care up to the age of 21[1]. In human life attempting to examine the contribution of medical care and its advancement, the goal must be addressed to the medical care. In this analysis the pediatric research output in global from the year 2001-2016, the data were retrieved from web of science [WOS] by Thomson Reuters, presently maintained by Clarivate Analytics. The total records published during this study period [2001-2016] 20615 publications. The outcome of this analysis combined together and provided as a result by the use of Scientometric’s statistic and mathematical methods. When the researcher provides the comprehensive classification by using the research indicator, the major responsibility can hold by the quantitative studies. This quantitative or statistical and mathematical method is called as Scientometric analysis.

This study examined the research publications of the faculty of Thiagarajar College of Engineering (TCE), Madurai, Tamilnadu, India. Data for this study have been collected from the Scopus and web of science databases for 2014-2018. Among 1270 papers published and indexed in the Scopus for five years and 437 papers published and indexed in the web of science. This paper shows how to use an excel sheet for calculating the h-index, i-10 index, average citation per year, cited rate, percentage of cited and non-cited paper, real average citation, etc.… Apart from the above analysis, this paper finds the overlap publications of Scopus and Web of Science.

The study aims to do the scientometric analysis of global research output of media literacy during last 30 years. These 30 years produced 1038 documents on media literacy which have been cited 15.37 per cent citation per item. Most of the articles were published during the block 2017-2020. Multiple co-authorship has been the trend in media literacy research. Primack, B (18), Austin, E. W. (17) and Hobbs, K. (14) are identified as the most prolific authors. Communicar with 96 publications is the most productive journal. Korea, South Africa and Norway registered the highest multiple collaboration ratio (MCR). USA, United Kingdom and Australia are the leading countries in terms of citations received. The co-authorship network reflects 175 clusters about the authors who came together to contribute on media literacy. Further co-occurrence of keywords is given on the basis of author keywords in which media literacy had the total link strength (TLS) of 729 with 329 documents.
