Abstract

The present study deals with the assessment of Indian optics research output as reflected in Web of Science (WOS) database for the period 2008 to 2018 for identifying the research output in the field of optics literature. It also provides a comparative evaluation and performance of different types of scientometric indicators, such as number of publications, number of citations and collaboration from India. The Indian optics research has increased exponentially over the last decade.
