RESEARCH OUTPUT IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY AREAS BY THE UNIVERSITIES OF GUJARAT: A SCIENTOMETRIC ANALYSIS

ABSTRACT This paper examines the contribution members of the universities in Gujarat particularly I the areas of Organic Chemistry for the study data collected from web of science for the period of span under the study. Various search strategies were applied to collect the and Scientometric techniques used to achieve research objectives. The study found cited items citing articles, h- index of universities and faculties in the subject area. The study further recommended for the establishment of citation database for the publication in Indian languages to provide such platform for scholarly communication in Indian language to keep a pace with the latest research trends. Key Terms : Scientometric Analysis, Web of Science, Organic Chemistry, Scholarly Communication, Contribution Output INTRODUCTION The contribution study is useful to understand research & development in subject concern at national and International level. Its relevance can be traced out so far the contribution of a group of universities located in the specific geographic area to the larger counterpart in the specific domain. The present study focuses on contribution in organic chemistry and allied areas by faculty members of the universities in Gujarat. Organic Chemistry and its allied areas having a long and fruitful evidence of its development in every sphere of life by the continuous research. Speedy reporting and seamless access make spectacular changes in the arena of research in every nation. Scholarly journals and its bibliographic control plays inevitable role to scale the research and its navigational direction. Web of Science is a Bibliographic database covers prestigious and high impact research of sciences across the world. According to the Baden horst of Worldwide Information Services it is an online academic citation database provided by Thomson Reuters. It is designed for providing access to multiple databases, cross-disciplinary research and in-depth exploration of specialized subfields within scientific discipline. As a citation index any cited paper lead to any other literature ,(book academic journal, proceedings, etc) which currently, or in the past cites this work. In addition , literature which shows the greatest impact on a field covered by Web of Science, or more than one discipline, can be selectively obtained. For example, a paper’s influence can be determined by linking to all the papers that have cited it. In this way, current trends, patterns and emerging fields of research can be assessed. Web of Science has indexing coverage from the year 1900 to the present. OBJCTIVES

To study the contribution in Organic Chemistry area in the Universities and find out the h-index.

FINDINGS

Web of Science is very much helpful to know the research quality research productivity and research

output.On the basis of analysis of collected data the present study concludes that :

The highest h-index(12) is found of SUR while SPU second ranked with 7 h-index,MSU,VNSGU and BUB

is third ranked with 5 h-index.

It is found that most cited author such as Kawase M, Shah A, Gaveriya H, motohashi N, Skagami H,

Top ten cited authors have been ranked. First author Kawase M; Shah A;Motohashi N;Sakagami

H;Varga A;Molanar J from SUR while Thaker KM;Kachhadia VV;Joshi HS;is last ranked author of SUR.

On the basis of country-wise analysis of cited items, it is found that most of the items cited in India

i.e.367(65.88%) while very less items cited by other countries. The total number of cited items is 557 in

different subject categories.

SUGGESTIONS

On the basis of the study with Scientometric analysis in Organic Chemistry some feasible suggestions are

mentioned here for further improvement.

There should be some arrangement and provision to motivate faculty and researcher to engage in the

area of Research in the current trends with a team of dedicated researcher.

Strong channels for effective communication for scholarly publication should be implemented with

sound planning. This may guide the prospective authors to publish their research work in highest

impact factor journals.

Motivate authors for writing and publish in open access journals to scale it on larger and longer

audience and usability. This can be sort out wih the deposition of research paper in an institutional

repository or a subject repository at state/national level.

Engage the faculties to review on publishd research work to foster peer communication channels.

Encourage the faculties to maintain professional social contact with others in pertinent research area.

Some training programme should be organized for effective use of Web of Knowledge.

RECOMMENDATIONS

During the process of this study researchers observe that there is strong need to establish such type of

Citation Database. India should look forward and prepare such platform covering scholarly communication in

Indian languages to keep a pace with the latest research trends.
