Abstract

The study undertook to know the research contribution of Dr Madras G former Scientist of IISc, Bangalore, which is one of the excellent and top institutions of India in all prospects of academics and research activities. The analysis revealed that most of the publications came in the form of (540) research articles. Most of his top-cited journals came from the US, UK and Netherlands with medium to high impact factor Journals. He was collaborative in nature with other fellow scientists with the degree of collaboration (DC) 1.00 and collaboration co-efficient (CC) 0.71. His most of authorship appearance came in 2-authored papers (216) between the duration of 1993-2020. Bose S from IISc was his highest collaborator with 41 documents. “Industrial And Engineering Chemistry Research” journal was the most used source for publication with 55 papers and the top keyword was degradation used 30 times.

Introduction

Basically, bib-bibliometrics or ‘Scientometric portrait’ analysis is a study of an individual Scientist/author who are eminent in his single discipline or core area with a set of aligned researchers contributing together throughout his/her life. Bio-bibliometrics analyse “a unit of information generation” of the individual researcher to prove great value of concern, visibility of the good scientist, who is known or lesser-known. Bio-bibliometrics visualize different quantitative aspects using analytical methods by discovering and organizing in a functional manner, where the relationship between bio-data and bio-data elements. The term ‘biobibliometrics’ was first used by (Sen, S. K., and Gan, S. K, 1990) ‘informatics’ by (Kalyane and Samanta, 1995) and later it was called has (Kademani et al., 1996) ‘Scientometric portrait’.

A total of 540 papers were published in that 53(9.81%) times he appeared as main author and 487 (90.19%) with co-authors. The highest productive year was in 2014 with 42 papers with (27.99%) average citation per paper (ACPP) were his chronological age of 46 and with the publication productivity age was 22 and highest citation appeared in 2004 with 32 papers of (89.8%) ACPP with the chronological age of 36. The degree of collaboration is 1.00 (Subramanyam, 1983) with co- authors and he is more collaborative in nature than performing in sole research.

The formula for Degree of CollaborationEquation

Where, C=Degree of Collaboration

Nm=Number of Multi-Authored Papers

Ns=Number of Single or Sole Authored Papers

Equation

Therefore, the degree of collaboration of Prof Madras G is 1.00 (multi-authored papers of 538 and Single authored papers of 2).

The formula for Collaboration Co-efficientEquation

Fj is the number of j author papers

N is the total number of research papers published

K is the greatest number of authors per paper.

Equation

Therefore, the collaboration co-efficient of Prof Madras G is 0.71

The formula for Productive Co-efficientEquation

Pc=52/38=1.4

Therefore, the productive co-efficient of Prof Madras G 1.0:1.4

The formula for Annual ContributionEquation

Ayc=540/28=19.29

On average, he has published 18 to 19 papers yearly between 1993-2020.
