Trends, Collaborations and Insights during 2014-2023

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the publications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in India from
2014 to 2023. It aims to explore publication trends, authorship patterns, gender-based contributions,
and open-access publishing practices, while also mapping collaborative networks and influential
entities in AI research. The study seeks to identify India's position in the global AI research landscape
and highlight areas for strategic improvement and collaboration. The data comprising 4,910
publications was sourced from the OpenAlex database and analysed by VOSviewer advanced
tools for bibliometric mapping, and used the Open Refine was used for data wrangling. The analysis
reveals that Indian authors significantly contribute to AI research, with open- access publications
categorized as Bronze (979), Gold (3,084), Green (143) and Hybrid (674). The gold open-access
publications category (3084) is the most accessible publication in open- access. Co-authorship
and citation networks illustrate strong collaborations among authors, institutions and countries,
with Vellore Institute of Technology emerging as the top-performing organization. Bibliographic
analysis reveals influential authors, organizations and countries, emphasizing collaboration's
importance in advancing AI research. This study provides valuable insights into AI research trends
in India, serving as a foundation for strategic planning and fostering interdisciplinary partnerships.
By helping this study, future studies should focus on expanding collaborations and exploring the
emerging domains of AI research field
