Abstract

This study aims at analysing the research output performance of scientists on Ecology. In academic and scientific work, publication is the chief means of communicating research, a primary means of recognition and reward, and hence a central social process in any academic as well as Research Institutions. Therefore, it is through publication the scientists receive professional recognition and esteem as promotion, advancement, and funding for future research. This study attempts to analyse the performance of scientists working in various institutions in terms of growth rate, areas of research concentration, author productivity and authorship pattern.
