Abstract

This paper has made an attempt to analyze the nanotechnology research productivity which was retrieved from SCImago website during the period between 2001 and 2015. This paper tries to focus the various parameters such as country-wise distribution, year-wise output, citable documents, citations, and self-citations and many more characteristic features were analyzed during the period of study. The findings of the study revealed that the minimum output (6655), maximum output (45236), mean (24664.14), median (24337), standard error (3540.879), standard deviation (13248.76), sample variance (1.76E+08), kurtosis value (-1.42297) and skewness (0.128334) were identified using SPSS version 15. Further, the detailed findings of the study on Nanotechnology have also been illustrated.
