Mapping of research productivity on forestry research in India: A scientometric study

Abstract

The term “Forestry” is combined and used as a search term in the international indexing database “Web of Science,” which was first published by the Institute for Scientific Information, which international information scientist Eugene Garfield established. It is discovered that 372 scholarly publications are the result of the research conducted in international and national journals. Over 60% of the forestry research that has come out of India has been contributed by just the top 50 Organisations. According to the source database, Indian publishers have worked with 76 different nations to produce their output, which spans 87 different subject categories in the field of study. A total of 780 authors contributed to the publications. The researcher published work in a variety of open-access journals, with forestry research making up close to 50% of the total. Only a small number of papers in the gold and gold hybrid categories make up 15% of all open-access publications. Every OS green publication is a leading intern of different OA models. The results of the Indian research were also examined in terms of the top worldwide scientific publishers, who have their own reputations and a variety of publications from organizations, publishing houses, and societies. The top three publishers, Springer, Nature, Elsevier, and Tailor and Francis, account for roughly 50% of all publications.
