English abstract

This paper performed a bibliometric analysis of oncology research in India to identify the literature growth trends. The data for the study has been downloaded from the national center for Biotechnology (NCBI) Pub Med. The study examines the research activities in different countries worldwide. Bradford law of scattering and Lotka’s law were employed to identify the core journal, which published Indian cancer research literature and the authors’ productivity pattern respectively. The study also identifies the active institutions in India, which published the cancer literature the most and found that Indian cancer researchers published around 500 literature per year, and All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS), Delhi has produced maximum papers on cancer research followed by Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai.
