Abstract

The study examines the research productivity of KIIT University, Odisha, India in regard to 361 papers indexed in Scopus from the year 2000 to till February, 2013. The study attempts to measure authorship pattern, degree of collaboration, Year wise distribution of articles and corresponding citations, domain wise distribution of articles, ranking of authors, ranking of highly cited papers, collaborating countries and such other parameters. The study finds that the major chunk of research is contributed by three joint authors and the trend of collaborative research is rightly at its peak. The study further reveals that authors of this University have published maximum number of articles in Communications in Computer and Information Science, followed by World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, Comparative Clinical Pathology, and International Journal of Information and Management Sciences. The top author of this university is found to have published 25 articles that have been indexed in Scopus. Taken together all the articles published during this period the university has h index of 11
