Trends and Trajectories in India's STEM Research for the period 2014‐2023: A Scientometric Study

Researchers at the DST-Centre for Policy Research (DST-CPR), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) conducted a comprehensive scientometric analysis of India's research landscape using publication data from 2014–2023. The study examined global and national publication trends, institutional research performance, thematic evolution across STEM disciplines, strategic priority areas, funding patterns, international benchmarking (including G20 and BRICS countries), research quality indicators, and the impact of collaboration on scientific output and citation performance. The report provides an evidence base to inform science policy, research funding, and strategic planning within the Indian research ecosystem.
