Again, a filtering was made refining the records based on Indian literature. Totally, 277 documents from Indian literature were considered for the study. The data were analysed based on year-wise, author-wise, affiliation-wise, source-wise and research area-wise. This study results will enable the scientific and research community to have collaborative study with the top most authors, organizations and countries and to select the high impact factor journals for their research work.
