Abstract

The study examines India’s performance on antioxidants using several quantitative measures such as India’s global publication share, rank, growth rate and citation quality, its publication share in various sub-fields in terms of national share utilising last 10 year’s (2001–10) publications data obtained from the Scopus database. We have also determined Indian share with international collaborative papers at the national level as well as is major international collaborative partners, besides analysing the characteristics of its high productivity institutions, authors and high-cited papers, etc.
