Chandran Velmurugan, Natarajan Radhakrishnan

Abstract


Pharmacognosy is the hoariest conception and study of medicinal drugs. To evaluate and identify the growth pattern of literature output, a total 348 scholarly communications as a sample data has been gathered for the analysis of Pharmacognosy from the Web of Science (WOS) citation database during the period between 1989 and 2014. This paper aim to scrutinize the several elements such as type of document, Language, yearly output, most prolific authors, prolific journals, Institution, country wise production, source titles, research areas and keywords of literature output and also examine various metric analysis such as h-index, g-index, e-index, hc-index, hI-index, hI,norm, hI,annual, hm-index, AW-index, AWCR and AWCRpA and degree of collaboration. 


Keywords
