A Scientometric analysis of computer science research in India
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Khushboo Singhal; Sumit Kumar Banshal; Ashraf Uddin; Vivek Kumar Singh
This paper presents results of our Scientometrics and text-based analysis of computer science research output from India during the last 25 years. We have collected the data for research output indexed in Scopus and performed a detailed computational analysis to obtain important indicators, such as total research output, citation impact, collaboration patterns, top institutions/authors/publication sources. We also performed a text-based analysis on keywords of all papers indexed in Scopus to identify thematic trends during the period. The analytical results present a detailed and useful picture of status and competence of CS domain research in India. © 2015 IEEE.
Designing a Composite Index for research performance evaluation at the national or regional level: ranking Central Universities in India
(Springer Netherlands, 2016) Aparna Basu; Sumit Kumar Banshal; Khushboo Singhal; Vivek Kumar Singh
It is now generally accepted that institutions of higher education and research, largely publicly funded, need to be subjected to some benchmarking process or performance evaluation. Currently there are several international ranking exercises that rank institutions at the global level, using a variety of performance criteria such as research publication data, citations, awards and reputation surveys etc. In these ranking exercises, the data are combined in specified ways to create an index which is then used to rank the institutions. These lists are generally limited to the top 500–1000 institutions in the world. Further, some criteria (e.g., the Nobel Prize), used in some of the ranking exercises, are not relevant for the large number of institutions that are in the medium range. In this paper we propose a multidimensional ‘Quality–Quantity’ Composite Index for a group of institutions using bibliometric data, that can be used for ranking and for decision making or policy purposes at the national or regional level. The index is applied here to rank Central Universities in India. The ranks obtained compare well with those obtained with the h-index and partially with the size-dependent Leiden ranking and University Ranking by Academic Performance. A generalized model for the index using other variables and variable weights is proposed. © 2016, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.

In the original publication of the article, in Table 1, two entries of the last column “Date of inception/conversion” for Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna University (HNBGU) and Central University of Himachal Pradesh (CUHP) have been erroneously interchanged. The correct date of inception of HNBGU is 1973/2009 and for CUHP is 2009. The correct Table 1 is provided in this erratum. © Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary 2016.
