Abstract

The research in the field of science and technology significantly contribute to the growth and development of a country. Particularly the Green Revolution and the White Revolution has a significant role in the growth and development of India. To measure the quality and quantity of the scientific contributions, one can apply the technique known as Scientometrics. Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database containing both peer-reviewed research literature and quality web sources which consists more than forty six millions of records from 19000 titles of 5000 international publishers. The present study is an attempt to identify the various bibliometric aspects of the scientific contributions of the researchers and faculty of CCSHAU, Hisar published between 2003 and 2012. For this purpose the Scopus online database and search facilities are used. Most of these are research articles published in various journals. The average number of authors per contribution is 3.55. The degree of collaboration is 0.99. There is a decrease in the number of contribution during the last five years. The CCSHAU researchers and scientists had foreign research collaboration with thirty-three countries. The study clearly indicates that the sole research (authorship) trend is now over and collective research trend is in force.  

Key words: Scientometrics; Bibliometrics; Research indicators; Authorship Trends.
