ABSTRACT
Over the last decade, several scientometric and bibliometric studies have been carried out in different areas to measure the trend of research in the specific fields of science and technology, such as nanotechnology, neuroscience, medicines, etc. With the advent of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs), water-related research has gained impetus. In the last five years, the Government of India has launched several water missions and has funded several scientific projects to come out with innovative solutions. However, Indian scholarship has been silent in the evaluation of research performance in the area of Water. This study, therefore, tries to identify the publication trends in the four most cited journals in the area of water-related research in the last ten years. On identifying India among the leading four countries, in terms of publications in water-related research, the paper also tries to identify its publication trend by major Indian research institutions in these journals.
