Abstract

The paper investigates Indian Bioinformatics research during 2011-2019 using Web of Science database. It attempts to quantify the national contribution to growth efforts and identify areas of citation, h-index and highly cited articles. Also highlighted the growth of Indian bioinformatics output using different scientometrics indicators. The results show the output for collaborative study, top ranked journals and authors, citation of the journals, h-index, p-index score and mapping of co-authorship and cited reference. PLOS One and Gene are the top ranked journals in bioinformatics. The study also covers for funding agencies in bioinformatics research. UGC, CSIR, DST and DBT are the major funding agencies that are responsible for more contributions in bioinformatics research in India.
