Abstract

Makes an assessment of 5378 papers published by Indian Institute of Technology Madras and 4430 papers published by Indian Institute of Technology Bombay respectively indexed by the Scopus database in the field of Engineering Sciences and its sub-field during 2006–2015. The study indicates that the number of papers grew during the period of study. The findings indicate that the researchers of both the IITs in the field of engineering sciences published their papers in global journals published from USA, UK and Germany and other countries of the West. Around 19.66% papers published by IITM scientists and 26.54% papers published by IITB scientists in engineering sciences during 2006–2015 remained uncited. More authors from IITB were highly cited
as compared to IITM.
