Abstract - Aims - To study second-generation IITs publications pattern for 2010-2019 as present in the Scopus database to understand the IITs research competence.
Methods -The study used Scopus database. The keyword, Indian Institute of Technology was searched under affiliation. Second generation IITs were selected one after the other and the search was restricted to the 2010-2019 period for the publications data to be analyzed.
Result - The results tell us the total number of publications of second-generation IITs for 2010-2019 is 20039 and an average citation per paper of 9.72. Total publications in open access journals by second-generation IITs were 2764; in other, they were 17275. For 2010-2019, the total citations of about 194821 were received, out of which 67659 were citations for open access publications and 127162 citations were from other publications. The significant research areas across second-generation IITs were Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, Computer Science, Material Science and Chemistry. The top two productive journals were Physical Review D and RSC Advance across eight IITs. Second-generation IITs published 25 top-cited papers for 2010-2019 in The Lancet, Physical Review Letters, Astrophysical Journal Letters, Autophagy, Journal of Environmental Management, Classical and Quantum Gravity, Progress in Polymer Science (Oxford), Physical Review X, Nature Photonics, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics, Ultrasonics Sonochemistry and Journal of Applied Physics with an average citation per paper of 1290.68.
Keywords - IITs; Scholarly publications; Scopus Indexed; Second Generation IITs; Scientometric.
