Scientometric analysis of research productivity from Indian dialysis over the last twenty years in Web of Science

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the publication rate of Indian dialysis research and analyze the distribution of research areas. This research was a scientometric study that applied quantitative and qualitative bibliographies of Web of Science (WoS). The data were extracted from the Web of Science database between 2001 to 2020 of Indian dialysis research. We used bibliographic analyses using VOSviewer software for network analysis between 2001 to 2020. We performed analyses of journals, authors, publication years, organizations, and countries. We accessed 1503 documents published during the period, the majority of published in 2020 with 151 documents. The study revealed that Jha V is the most prolific author in this field with 100 papers and the highest h-index (25). Results showed that the most document types are journal Articles (1135) of a total number of publications. We observed from the journals, the most preferred choice of the authors to publish their research on Peritoneal Dialysis International (n = 77), whereas Indian Pediatrics (India) had the lowest articles (n = 14). The study also revealed that documents published a number of countries with limited relationship within the network, suggesting opportunities to build their research collaboration with leaders of significant networks or with other countries.
