2. Scientometrics Analysis
Scientometrics is concerned with the analysis of informational dimensions of science, such as
Publications
Patents
Journals
Laws of ageing and scatter of scientific information
Citation processes, etc.

3. Application of Scientometrics:
Literature searching
Assessing the adequacy and coverage of library collections
Studying scientific communication
Exploring cooperative and social relationships in science
Evaluating scientific performance

4. Need of Study: IIT's have been selected for case study
Apex technical education system in India.
Most prestigious institutions in India - in terms of
Infrastructure
Contribution to technical education
Major contribution to scientific and technical research.

5. Objectives
Contribution of these institutions to the mainstream literature in different S&T fields
