Zirconium research in nuclear science and technology: a scientometric perspective

Abstract

The present study is aimed at analysing the growth of publications on zirconium in nuclear science and technology. International Nuclear Information System (INIS) database is used as a tool to analyse the focused areas of this field for the period 1970–2008. The database contained a total of 65,592 publications on zirconium. The study analysed the broad features of zirconium in nuclear science and technology focusing on its publication growth characteristics such as year-wise distribution of publications, countrywise distribution of publications, country-wise activity index, domain-wise distribution of publications, highly productive institutions, language-wise distribution of publications, distribution of publications by document types and journals preferred for publication by the scientists.
