The study is based on the research publications generated by Structural Engineering Research Centre (SERC) during the years 2002-2006. The data was collected from the Annual Reports of SERC and analyzed based on Impact factor. The Impact Factor (IF) was examined with the help of Science Citation Index provided by Journal Citation Report (JCR IF). This analysis highlights yearly output, publications in national and international journals, number of papers in SCI and non-SCI journals, Normalized Impact Factor (NIF) per paper, number of papers in the proceedings of national and international conferences / workshops / seminars / symposia etc., category-wise distribution of papers in different NIF ranges, the proportion of high NIF papers and papers above the average NIF. This study reveals the area-wise impact of the research conducted by the Centre in particular. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A total of 2603 research articles published by the scientists of Central Potato Research Institute (CPRI) during 1991 to 2007 were collected by scanning of annual reports and Journal of the Indian Potato Association. Majority of the scientists preferred to publish research papers in joint authorship (82.67%) having 0.82 degree of collaboration. Study further shows no uniform pattern of literature growth but factors like fund availability, scientists' recruitment and their availability, and years that had special occasions like conferences, seminars etc. have impact over scientific productivity of the scientists during the period under review.
