Abstract

An analysis of 2676 publications published by Indian scientists during 1986-2015 and indexed by Scopus online database indicates that the publication output in the Indian research publication. It is observed that the Indian contribution has collaborated research outputs with a maximum of 12 authors. It further reveals that single authored contributions were accounted for 6.17% and similarly two authored publications for 44.81% and three authored publications for 30.08% of the total publications. Also, the maximum of 12 authors have been contributed one article. India has contributed 2676 (2.82%) to the Global Artificial Intelligence literature during the study period (1986-2015). The analysis has been limited to publications indexed in Scopus database only. India is ranked 4th among the major contributors in Artificial Intelligence literature. This work is to provide a profile of research in Indian research publication in India.
