This paper aimed to assess growth pattern of research output, authorship pattern, degree of collaboration, ranking of authors and most cited references, type of documents, keyword wise distribution, most productive countries and most productive institutions of research output. There are 1595 articles were published during 2010-2020. The highest number of 247 articles were published in 2015 and lowest number of 70 articles published in 2020.
