Abstract

 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.

Keywords: Librametry, Institute of Scientific Information (ISI), Scientometrics, Web of Science
