Abstract

The evaluation of research output in the universities and other R & D institutions is essential for the overall development of the institutions. This study aims to analyse the research output of the nine selected central universities in northeast India. The required bibliographic information was obtained from an online Web of Science database, using an affiliation field tag with publication date range [query (OG=university Name) AND date range 01-01-2012 to 31-12-2021)]. The dataset was carefully examined in the MS-Excel and analysed using R- package bibliometrix. A total of 8848 research contributions and 97107 citations have been observed. It is found that Tezpur University is the highest research publications (2875), followed by NEHU (1609) and Assam University (1436), respectively. A total of 1942 articles from all the selected universities were published in open access. The ‘Current Science’ and “RSC Advance’ were the most common sources, and ‘Chemistry’ is the most prominent research area among selected central universities.
