English abstract

This paper aims to map the climate change research output from India in five-year period 2005-2009. It examines the key factors including number of works published on the topic climate change science and the journals publishing this research work and their position in rankings. Climate change research in India is mapped based on papers abstracted in ISI Science Citation Index. There were 25,081 publications all over the world; of which Indian subcontinent has published 391 papers in all, and these were published in more than 101scholarly journals. The scope of the paper is limited to studying the growth and dynamics of Indian research output in climate change research of a five year period.
