Abstract

Bibliometrics is an interdisciplinary area which communicates with all other areas of research. An organization of national importance doing research has to rely on the expert reviews and analysis of research performance. Experts use different methods and tools to analyze the performance & quality of a research/researcher. The National Science Library, CSIR-NISCAIR has been providing citation analysis and other bibliometric services. To provide the service, the National Science Library has created an online application to analyze the citations and generate various reports. The paper explains the modules of this online application and how it is used by the Institute in a productive way. The paper also describes some of the back-end operations of the application.
