Abstract

This paper discusses the Indian chemical research activity during 1987 to 2007 using Scopus database. It tries to quantify the national contribution to world efforts, and identify areas of relative strengths and weaknesses. It also models out the trend of growth in the output of Indian chemical research to world as a whole and in sub-fields of chemical science. These details have been discussed by using the activity index for the world and India. It also estimates the contribution of different institutions and sub-specialties in chemical sciences.
