Abstract

The article presents a scientometric picture of Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University. The analysis was carried out on the data extracted in the form of 1908 records extracted from Web of Science during 2001-2019. However for testing of Lotka’s law all the records i.e. 4212 available 1989 were used. An annual growth is highlighted in the study period. The article draws attention to annual growth of publication output, co-authorship network, distribution of publication output on the basis of various subject categories, leading collaborative institutes and countries. Further, the co-authorship network and co-occurrence of keyword analysis have been depicted through VOS-viewer.
