Capturing the Growth Dynamics of Science: A Publication-Based Analysis

Current Science, 25 April 2016, 110(8): 1419-25.

Abstract: This article attempts to identify the dynamics of knowledge production. Conceptual framework is based on research publications taken as 'proxy' indicator of research process and outcome. Indicators are constructed from research publications to capture the dynamics of research. The rationality of this approach is discussed. The study also shows that publications are increasing exponentially underscoring the intensive research undertaken globally. Determinants of publication growth have changed significantly in comparison to earlier periods. The study argues that the above determinants are indicators of changing global research structure and dynamics, and should be considered in national research and innovation policymaking.
