Abstract

Aim: The present study aims to trace out the comparative mapping of World and Indian Nanocellulose research output. Methodology: The Science Citation Index (SCI) of Web of Science (WoS) core collection was used data extraction of World and Indian Nanocellulose publications in the last ten years. The study was included the year wise research productivity of the World and India, Authorship pattern, Degree of Collaboration (DC), Collaboration Index (CI), most preferred sources, prolific authors, organizations, countries and keywords. MS excel, VOSViewer and R software package were used for tabulation and mapping. Results: A total of 3458 documents consisting of journal articles 3062, review papers 238, etc. The study reflects that Authors of multi-authored documents have more research impact with 11700 citations. The topmost preferred journal was Carbohydrate Polymers (UK) published 253 publications with a 28-h index. The most productive author was Wang X, Linkoping University, Sweden contributed 28 publications with 846 citations and h index value of 11.
