CHAPTER – I INTRODUCTION Scientometrics portrait studies deal with the biographical study of the individual career of scientists and researchers and correlating bibliographical analysis of publications or academic and scientific achievements. In this project researcher would like to look into the Scientific work done by Prof. M. Palaniandavar and his role for the advancement of Chemistry in India and elsewhere. Dr. M. Palaniandavar, Professor in School of Chemistry. Prior to joining Bharathidasan University he was with Madurai Kamaraj University as Reader in Inorganic Chemistry. He received his PDF from Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA and M. Sc. and Ph.D. in Chemistry from Madurai Kamaraj University in 1981. His Research Specialization: Bioinorganic Chemistry of DNA, Copper, Iron and Manganese - Activation of Molecular Oxygen - Study of Structure and Bonding in Models using EPR, Electronic and Fluorescence spectroscopy - Electron Transfer in Model Compounds - Electrochemistry in Organized Assemblies - Coordination Chemistry of Ruthenium. Prof. M. Palaniandavar is fellow of Academy of Sciences (FASc), 2004, he received various awards like UGC Research Award, 1999-2002, Tamilnadu Scientist Award, 1997-1998, Prof. Sankegowda Research Award in1995 from University of Mysore, Chemical Research Society of India-Medal for significant contribution to Research1999. He visited various countries around the world like USA, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom and Switzerland. Certainly, Palaniandavar’s research works have made a great impact on international Chemistry community. This is evident from the citations continuously being received to his earlier manuscripts. Generally, the publications are being cited heavily immediately after its publication then decreases. The present study aimed at identifying some of his classic papers based on citations received in a particular period of time and analyse the pattern of citations received. The work has concentrated on analysing the subject-wise (research interests) citations received. Collaborators of Prof. M. Palaniandavar from the papers being cited are analysed to observe the impact of collaborated papers. 1.0 CONCEPT OF SCIENTOMETRICS Scientometrics is the branch of science that describes the output traits in terms of organizational research structure, resource inputs and outputs, develops benchmarks to evaluate the quality of information output. The term Scientometrics originated as a Russian term for the application of quantitative methods to the history of science, but its scope and objectives have widened considerably. Scientometrics studies characterize the disciplines using the growth pattern and other attributes. These studies have potential particularly in assessing the emerging disciplines. In the present study, we did the Scientometrics study of the research performance on Prof. M. Palaniandavar, a significantly growing area in the knowledgedriven world. THE VALUE OF BIBLIOMETRIC MEASURES 1.1 SCIENTOMETRICS FROM PAST TO PRESENT Scientometric research, the quantitative mathematical study of science and technology, encompassing both bibliometric and economic analysis is expanding at an enormous pace. This is evidenced in increasing attendance rates at important industry conferences, and the recent launch of the dedicated Journal of Informetrics. Indeed, if one were to pick up an issue of any of the leading journals in the field today, one would find research covering article output, citation relationships between disciplines and geographical analysis linked to these. In a two-part article, we explore not only Scientometrics’ past but also its impact on and relevance in the present. The origins of bibliometric research can be traced back to the beginning of the 19th century within areas such as law. Shapiro (1999) indicates that many aspects of bibliometrics were “practiced in the legal field long before being introduced into scientific literature”. Early research in the 1880s was reported by Delmas (1992), who describes documentation in France, but initial studies on qualitative and quantitative analysis of science seem to originate within psychological fields (Godin 2006) (3). Godin cites the work of Buchner in describing the notion of “scientific” psychology as “factual, inductive, measurable and experimental” and in 1920 Boring presented research on subject and geographical analysis of psychologists. 1.2 LAYING DOWN THE LAW Probably the earliest, most definable research within the scientometric field was the work that gave rise to the laws of bibliometrics. The first, which came to be known as Lotka’s Law, after Alfred Lotka, can be traced back to 1926 and suggested that within a defined area over a specific period a low number of authors accounted for a large percentage of publications in the area. This was followed in 1935 by the work of George Kingsley Zipf, which describes the frequency of words in a text and became known as Zipf’s Law. Zipf’s research was refined into two main laws looking at high and low frequency words within a text. In 1948 Samuel Clement Bradford’s analysis indicated that within a given area over a specific time a few journals publish a high percent of articles within the area and there are many journals that publish only a few articles each: Bradford’s Law. These laws continue to be studied and form the basis of the development of the modern-day scientometric literature. In 1944, Lehman described the relationship between quantity and quality within scientific writing and this was followed in 1952 by Dennis, who analysed the effect of scientist’s age on these two elements. Again these types of analyses continue to be described in the current literature, and began to direct thinking towards averaged metrics within bibliometrics. 1.3 BIBLIOMETRICS Bibliometrics is a type of research method used in library and information science. It utilizes quantitative analysis and statistics to describe patterns of publication within a given field or body of literature. Researchers may use bibliometric methods of evaluation to determine the influence of a single writer, for example, or to describe the relationship between two or more writers or works. One common way of conducting bibliometric research is to use the Social Science Citation Index, the Science Citation Index or the Arts and Humanities Citation Index to trace citations. 1.3.1 LAWS OF BIBLIOMETRICS One of the main areas in bibliometric research concerns the application of bibliometric laws. The three most commonly used laws in bibliometrics are: Lotka's law of scientific productivity, Bradford's law of scatter, and Zipf's law of word occurrence. 1.3. 1a LOTKA'S LAW Lotka's Law describes the frequency of publication by authors in a given field. It states that " . . . the number (of authors) making n contributions is about 1/n² of those making one; and the proportion of all contributors, that make a single contribution, is about 60 percent" (Lotka 1926, cited in Potter 1988). This means that out of all the authors in a given field, 60 percent will have just one publication, and 15 percent will have two publications (1/2² times .60). 7 percent of authors will have three publications (1/3² times .60), and so on. According to Lotka's Law of scientific productivity, only six percent of the authors in a field will produce more than 10 articles. Lotka's Law, when applied to large bodies of literature over a fairly long period of time, can be accurate in general, but not statistically exact. It is often used to estimate the frequency with which authors will appear in an online catalog (Potter 1988). 1.3.1b BRADFORD'S LAW Bradford's Law serves as a general guideline to librarians in determining the number of core journals in any given field. It states that journals in a single field can be divided into three parts, each containing the same number of articles: 1) a core of journals on the subject, relatively few in number, that produces approximately onethird of all the articles, 2) a second zone, containing the same number of articles as the first, but a greater number of journals, and 3) a third zone, containing the same number of articles as the second, but a still greater number of journals. The mathematical relationship of the number of journals in the core to the first zone is a constant n and to the second zone the relationship is n². Bradford expressed this relationship as 1:n:n². Bradford formulated his law after studying a bibliography of geophysics, covering 326 journals in the field. He discovered that 9 journals contained 429 articles, 59 contained 499 articles, and 258 contained 404 articles. So it took 9 journals to contribute one-third of the articles, 5 times 9, or 45, to produce the next third, and 5 times 5 times 9, or 225, to produce the last third. As may be seen, Bradford's Law is not statistically accurate, strictly speaking. But it is still commonly used as a general rule of thumb (Potter 1988). 1.3.1c ZIPF'S LAW Zipf's Law is often used to predict the frequency of words within a text. The Law states that in a relatively lengthy text, if you "list the words occurring within that text in order of decreasing frequency, the rank of a word on that list multiplied by its frequency will equal a constant. The equation for this relationship is: r x f = k where r is the rank of the word, f is the frequency, and k is the constant (Potter 1988). Zipf illustrated his law with an analysis of James Joyce's Ulysses. "He showed that the tenth most frequent word occurred 2,653 times, the hundredth most frequent word occurred 265 times, the two hundredth word occurred 133 times, and so on. Zipf found, then that the rank of the word multiplied by the frequency of the word equals a constant that is approximately 26,500" (Potter 1988). Zipf's Law, again, is not statistically perfect, but it is very useful for indexers. 1.4 WEB APPLICATIONS OF BIBLIOMETRICS Recently, a new growth area in bibliometrics has been in the emerging field of webmetrics, or cybermetrics as it is often called. Webmetrics can be defined as using of bibliometric techniques in order to study the relationship of different sites on the World Wide Web. Such techniques may also be used to map out (called "scientific mapping" in traditional bibliometric research) areas of the Web that appear to be most useful or influential, based on the number of times they are hyperlinked to other Web sites. 1.4.1 APPLICATIONS OF BIBLIOMETRICS Bibliometrics as a technique has extensive applications in identifying the research trends in a subject, trends in a authorship and collaboration dispersion of in research, scientific core periodicals, literature useful obsolescence in estimating and the comprehensiveness of secondary periodicals, studying the author productivity and impact of research, distribution of scientific publications by Universities, citation studies and so on. Most of these studies pertain to Universities, faculty members, disciplines and documents. Further, bibliometrics could be used in the identification of emerging research areas. The popularly in the adoption of bibliometric techniques in various disciplines stimulated stupendous growth of literature on bibliometrics and its related areas. The techniques are now being vigorously pursued, and with the result, it has been found that one fourth of all the articles published in a Library and Information Science periodicals also carry a large number of articles on bibliometrics. These techniques are being used for a variety of purposes like determination of various scientific indicators, evaluation of scientific output, selection of journals for libraries and even forecasting potential Nobel Laureates. In the recent years, there has been an explosive growth in human knowledge. In fact, the nature and tempo of growth has been such as too far outstrip the achievements of the past centuries. As science itself grown in extension and intention and the number of scientists increases. So obviously does the volume of literature generated by the scientific community. The growth of literature itself has caused a fairly widespread alarm and the term that describes explosion also known as information explosion. It could be noted that at the global level about 5 million articles are being published annually in about one lakh journals. The 5th edition of the world list of scientific periodicals shows a two hundred per cent increase in the number of scientific periodicals since 1970. De Solla Price claimed that the science literature has grown exponentially in the last three centuries with a doubling rate of approximately 15 years. 1.5 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The present study aims at analyzing the research output of Pro. M. Palaniandavar. In academic and scientific work, publication is the chief means of communicating research, a primary means of recognition and reward, and hence a central social process in the Institutions. Therefore, it is through publication the scientists receive professional recognition and esteem as well as promotion, advancement, and funding for future research. It could be seen clearly from the above discussion that Scientometric analysis is an important tool in analyzing any science discipline. By keeping this view in mind, the researcher intends to undertake the study on “Scientometric Portrait of Prof. M. Palaniandavar”. This study attempts to analyse the performance of Researchers working in the field in terms of growth rate, areas of research concentration, author productivity and authorship pattern. CHAPTER – II REVIEW OF LITERATURE This chapter deals with the relevant Review of Literature. It enables one to be aware of the past and current trends in any particular branch of research and devotes to examine the review of works relating to various aspects. It could be observed that there are various research studies highlighting the individual career of scientists and researchers and correlating bibliographical analysis of publications or academic and scientific achievements. In this project researcher would like to look into the scientific work done by Prof. M. Palaniandavar and his role for the advancement of Chemistry in India and elsewhere. Review of related studies further avoids the duplication work that has already been done in that area. It enables the researcher to identify the unexplored areas, in order to create new grounds for research. Prakasan, E. R., Kalyane, V. L. and Vijai Kumar (2009). made an effort to analyze how much impact in number of citation receiving for his publications. Of course, there was a lack of tools for such a study some years back. Sir T. C.V. Raman is being acknowledged by worldwide physics community for his classic works. The study has limited to the database Science Citation Index for the period 1982–2005. The noteworthy results are: One third of his research papers have been cited at least once; The research papers published during 1918–1940 could make remarkable impact; Three of his papers have shown an upward growth in number of citations receiving; The total citations to papers of age 46 and 54 as on the year 1982 accounted for more than 50 per cent of the total citations received; Research works in the ‘Acoustics’ area have been cited more than any other area of his works; Eponymal citations are to be explored and analysed to understand the real impact of his works. Surulinathi, M and Srinivasaragavan, S (2008) attempted to analyse quantitatively the growth and development of Knowledge Management Research in India in terms of publication output as reflected in Scopus database. During 1999-2007 a total of 51 papers were published by the Knowledge Management researchers to various domains: Business, Management and Accounting (24), Engineering (18), Social Sciences (7), Computer Science (6), Decision Sciences (6) etc., Year-wise growth of publications and input of records to Scopus database by India is analyzed. More than 80 percent of publications were published in journals. The most preferred journals were International Journal of Information Technology and Management (7), Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research (4), Electronic Library (2), Human Systems Management (2), Journal of Knowledge Management (2) etc., There were as many as 24 (47.06) papers contributed by single author. There were five authors contributions is zero and more than 5 authors contribution is less than 1(1.96). The publication behavior indicates that the Knowledge management researchers were lowly selective in publishing. Sangam, S. L.,Kiran Savanur and Manjunath, M (2007). reviewed S. Ramaseshan has contributed for the better understanding of various subjects in which he specialized during his years at the Indian Institute of Science, University of Madras and the Raman Research Institute. In this paper we would like to emphasis on his scientific contributions in various journals and some classic papers. In his entire career as a scientist he has collaborated with 47 eminent scientists and students and has published a total of 178 papers during the years 1944– 2000. His field of interest has been varied and thus classified into 4 main area, i.e.: Crystallographic studies, Magneto-optics & Optics, Solid State Physics and Miscellaneous topics. S. L. Sangam, S. L et al. (2006) highlighted an application of quantitative methods to the history of Science. It is also one of the techniques for documenting, collecting works of eminent scientists and researcher's. In this paper, we present a concise sketch of Prof. Peter John Wyllie, stressing on his scientific achievements. His research has had a great impact in the fields dealing with terrestrial magmatic phenomena and geology. Mallikarjun Angadi et al. (2006). attempted to analyse the publication productivity of Anthony J. Leggett, the 2003 Nobel Prize winner in physics. His contributions peaked in 1987, 1994, and 1998 with 10 papers each. He had 194 publications during 1964 – 2004 in domains like Superfluid 3He (65), Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (36), Dissipative Quantum Systems (24), Atomic Alkali Gases (18), and Miscellaneous (51) which were analysed for authorship pattern with his 70 collaborators. Most active collaborators with Anthony J Leggett were: A. Garg with six papers and A. O. MCaldeira, D. M. Ginsberg, D. J. Vanharlingen , F. Sols, S. Takagi and D. A. Wollman with five papers each. His productivity coefficient was 0.60 which clearly indicates that his productivity increased after 50 percentile age. The highest degree of collaboration (1) for Anthony J. Leggett was found during 1964, 1971 and 1983. Journals have been the most preferred channel of communication, where as many as 139 papers out of 194 have been published. The core journals publishing his papers were: Phys. Rev. Lett. (42), Phys. Rev. B (9), J. Low Temp. Phys. (8), Phys. Rev. A (7), Ann. Phys. (6), Foundations of physics (6), J. Phys.(5), Prog. Theor. Phys. (5), and Rev. Mod. Phys. (5). Publication density was 3.02 and publication concentration was 3.59. Koganuramah, M.M. et al. (2004). Wolfgang Ketterle was honoured with the Nobel Prize in Physics (2001) at 44 years of biological age and at 20 years of research publishing career. He had 115 publications during 1982 – 2002 in domains: Bose-Einstein Condensation (68), Laser Spectroscopy (30), and Atomic Physics (17) which were analysed for authorship pattern with his 68 collaborators. The most active researchers having number of publications with Ketterle were: S. Inouye (26), A. P. Chikkatur (20), M. R. Andrews (19), D. M. Stampur-Kurn (18), D. S. Durfee (17), H. J. Miesner (17) and D. E. Pritchard (17). His productivity coefficient was 0.78 which clearly indicates that his productivity increased after 50 percentile age. The highest collaboration coefficient (1) for Ketterle was found in 1983-1985, 1988, 1991-1995, and 2001. The publication concentration was 5.21% and publication density was 2.01. The core journals publishing his papers were: Phys. Rev. Lett. (30), Applied Physics-B (7), Journal of Chemical Physics (5), Nature (5), Physics Review-A (5), and Science (5). Most prolific keywords in titles were: Bose-Einstein condensate (38), Bose-Einstein condensation (15), Observation (9), Helium hydride (8), Emission spectrum (6) and Suppression (4). ‘Biobibliometrics’ is a method of retrieving and visualizing biological information that uses co-occurrence of gene naming terms in Medical Sciences to generate semantic links between genes. Therefore it is suggested that ‘Scientometric Portrait’ is the appropriate phrase for the studies on scientists and ‘Informetric Portrait’ for the studies pertaining to researchers in other disciplines such as arts, humanities, and social sciences Satish S Munnolli and Kalyane, V L (2003) discussed the Scientometric analysis of 312 papers by Ram Gopal Rastogi published during 1954 to 1992 in various domains:(a) Luni - solar activity end quiet time E & F - region(57): (b) Equatorial electric field and low and mid latitude ionosphere (78); (c) Ionospheric E - region irregularities(19); (d) Ionospheric F - region irregularities (32); and (e) Magnetic disturbance effects on the equatorial low and mid latitude ionosphere (23) were analysed. Inter-domainey contents and of the number of papers: a+b were 36; b+c and b+d were 20 each; b+e were 16; c+e were 5; a+e were 3; d+e were 2; and a+d had only one publication. Highest collaborations were with H. Chendra(61), M. R. Deshpande (42), and G. Sethia (19) out of his total 97 collaborators. His highest productivity was during 1978 with 28 papers followed by 19 papers during 1977.The core journals preferred by him for publishing papers were: Indian Journal of Radio & Space Physics, India, and Journal of Atomic & Terrestrial Physics, UK (59 each), followed by Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences, India (34). Most prolific title keywords with their frequencies were : Ionosphere (92); Equatorial(6 1);Fregion (53); Equatorial electrojet region (40), and Magnetic equator (30). Kademani, B.S., Kalyane, V.L. and Kumar, V. (2002) reviewed the Scientometric analysis of 190 publications by Harold W. Kroto, the Nobel laureate in Chemistry (1996) published during 1985-2000 in domains: Fullerenes (109), Cluster Science (39), Spectroscopy of Unstable Species and Reaction Intermediates (8), Astrophysics (16), and Non Carbon Nanostructures (18) were analysed for authorship pattern with his 181 collaborators. Highest collaborations were with D. R. M. Walton (142), R. Taylor (90), J. P. Hare (60), K. Hsu (53), M. Terrones (48), A. D. Darwish (36), P. R. Birkette (35) and H. Terrone (35). His productivity coefficient was 0.68 which clearly indicates that his productivity increased after 50 percentile age of his 16 years of research publication career. His highest collaboration coefficient (1.00) was found in 1985, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1998-2000. Publication concentration was 4.5 and publication density was 3.05. Average Bradford multiplier was 3.5. The core journals publishing his papers were: J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. (23), Chem. Phys. Lett. (20), J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans.-2 (15), and Nature (10) out of 59 journal and 13 other channels. Most prolific keywords in titles were: C60/Fullerenes/[60] Fullerene/Buckminsterfullerene, C70/[70] Fullerenes, Formation, and Characterisation. Kademani, B.S. and Kalyane, V.L. and Kumar, Vijai (2001). analyzed of 246 papers by Ahmed Hassan Zewail, the Nobel laureate in chemistry (1999), published between 1976 and 1994 in diverse fields: femtochemistry (62), reaction rates and IVR (56), general reviews (49), coherence and optical dephasing phenomena (27), solids: magnetic resonance and optical studies (13), liquids and biological systems(9), local modes in large molecules (9), molecular structure from rotational coherence (8), solar energy concentrators(7), and other studies(6). Data was analyzed for authorship pattern with his 103 collaborators. Highest collaborations were with P. M. Felker (39), M.Dantus (19), and L.R.Khundkar (16). The highest number of collaborators (38) were during 1986 – 90, followed by 30 during 1981 – 1985. His productivity coefficient was 0.52 which is a clear indication of consistent publication productivity behaviour throughout his 19 years of research. B. S. Kademani, (1999). Dorothy B. S., Crowfoot Kalyane, V. L. and Suresh Jange Hodgkin (1910–1994), the renowned crystallographer and the Nobel prize winner in Chemistry (1964) was responsible for developing the X-ray diffraction method of finding the exact structure of large and complicated molecules, such as Penicillin, Vitamin B12, Insulin, etc. Her 180 publications during 1932–1988 were analyzed by domains, authorship pattern, publication productivity, scattering of publications and the keywords used in the titles of her papers. Kalyane, V. L. and Sen, B. K. (1996). Presented an analysis of 422 papers by the Nobel laureate Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, a French physicist, published during 1956 to 1995 in diverse fields of science such as, magnetism, superconductors, hydrodynamics, polymers, liquid crystals, gels, and glues. The productivity of the scientist peaked in his 40’s and his journal preference shows a distinct national bias. Despite the scientist’s working with a very large number of collaborators, the percentage of collaborative papers seems to be low i.e. 36%. The receiving of honours and awards seems to attract more collaborators and hike the productivity rate. The scattering of papers over 146 journals does not follow Bradford’s law. Kalyane, V. L. and Munnolli, S. S. (1995). Highlighted the research productivity of T. S. West and collaboration pattern were analysed by years, papers, authorships, and authorwise productivity. T. S. West, the internationally well known analytical chemist has been widely recognised as a very successful scientist. The channels of communications used and distribution of articles among channels were found out. He has 410 papers to his credit. The period 1969–70 when he was 42–43 years age was most productive with 41 papers in 1969 and seven single authorship papers in 1970. Quienquennial collaboration coefficients ranged between 0.57 to 1.00, clearly indicating high collaboration team spirit in his research group. His productivity coefficient was 0.45 indicating rapid publication activity during early period of research career. His most prominent collaborators in number of papers were: R. M. Dagnall (92), G. F. Kirkbright (77), R. Belcher (56), K. C. Thompson (19), J. D. Norris (13), and J. F. Alder (11). Top ranking journals, with papers, to which he had contributed were:Anal. Chim. Acta (106),Talanta (84),The Analyst(49),Anal. Chem. (23), andJ. Chem. Soc. (20). Publication density was 8.54, publication concentration was 6.25, and average Bradford multiplier was 3.9. High frequency keywords in the titles of the articles were: Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (51), Atomic spectrometry absorption spectroscopy (31). results The (43), indicate and his Atomic temporal absorption publication productivity and the nature of the research activities were such that he is eminently qualified to be taken as a generation to emulate role model for the younger REFERENCES Prakasan, E.

SCI published by the Institute of Scientific Information (ISI), Philadelphia. It is a multidisciplinary database, with searchable author abstracts, covering the journal literature of the sciences. It indexes more than 7000 major journals across more than 150 scientific disciplines. The information stored about each article includes the article's cited reference list. It is possible to search the databases for articles that cite a known author or work. SCI database is an international, multidisciplinary index to the literature of science, technology, biomedicine, and related disciplines produced by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). SCI search contains all of the records published in the Science Science Citation Index (SCI), plus additional records from the Current Contents publications. SCI Search is distinguished by some important and unique characteristics. First, journals indexed are selected on the basis of several criteria, including citation analysis, resulting in coverage of the most significant publications in the scientific, technical, and biomedical literature. Second, in addition to the more conventional retrieval methods, SCI Search offers citation indexing, which permits searching by cited references. SCI Search indexes all significant items (articles, review papers, meeting abstracts, letters, editorials, book reviews, correction notices, etc.) from approximately 4,500 major scientific and technical journals. Some 3,800 of these journals are further indexed by the references cited within each article, allowing for citation searching. An additional 700 journals indexed have drawn from ISI Current Contents series of publications. SCI Search covers virtually every subject area within the broad fields of science, technology, and biomedicine, including but not limited to: Agriculture and Foods Astronomy and Astrophysics Behavioral Sciences Biochemistry Biology Biomedical Sciences Chemistry Computer Applications and Cybernetics Earth Sciences Electronics Engineering Environmental Science Genetics Instrumentation Materials Science Mathematics Medicine Meteorology Microbiology Nuclear Science Pharmacology Physics Psychiatry and Psychology Veterinary Medicine Zoology For the present study the data has been retrieved from Science Citation Index (Web of Science) database. 3.4 DATA COLLECTION Prof. M.

Palaniandar, the data has been presented in Table-1. The table depicts the research output. From the below table, we could clearly see that during the period 1979 - 2010 a total of 111 publications were published. The highest publication is 11 in 1996 with 42 Local Citation Scores and 177 Global Citation Scores followed by 10 papers in 2006 with 141 Global Citation Scores (GCS), 8 papers in 1983 with 56 Global Citation Scores. The lowest publication is 1 in 1979, 1989, 1986, and 1997. 4. 2 H-index of Prof. M. Palaniandavar Calculation of h-index The h-index is based on a list of publications ranked in descending order by the Times Cited. The value of h is equal to the number of papers (N) in the list that have N or more citations. This metric is useful because it discounts the disproportionate weight of highly cited papers or papers that have not yet been cited. In the h-index example below, the h-index is 3 because there are 3 articles with 3 or more citations that appear above the green line. The h-index factor is based on the depth of your Web of Science subscription and your selected timespan. Items that do not appear on the Results page will not be factored into the calculation. If your subscription depth is 10 years, then the h-index value is based on this depth even though a particular author may have published articles more than 10 years ago. Moreover, the calculation only includes items in Web of Science - books and articles in non-covered journals are not included. The h-index was developed by J.E. Hirsch and published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 102 (46): 1656916572 November 15 2005. Results found: 111 Sum of the Times Cited: 1,787 Average Citations per Item: 16.10 h-index: 25 4. 3 Document wise Distribution of Publications T able -2.

The Law states that in a relatively lengthy text, if you "list the words occurring within that text in order of decreasing frequency, the rank of a word on that list multiplied by its frequency will equal a constant. The equation for this relationship is: r x f = k where r is the rank of the word, f is the frequency, and k is the constant (Potter 1988). Zipf illustrated his law with an analysis of James Joyce's Ulysses. "He showed that the tenth most frequent word occurred 2,653 times, the hundredth most frequent word occurred 265 times, the two hundredth word occurred 133 times, and so on. Zipf found, then that the rank of the word multiplied by the frequency of the word equals a constant that is approximately 26,500" (Potter 1988). Zipf's Law, again, is not statistically perfect, but it is very useful for indexers. 4. 8 Collaborated Authors v/s number of citations Table 9 Shows Collaborated Authors v/s number of citations # Author 1 Palaniandavar M Recs % TLCS TLCS/t TGCS TGCS/t TLCR 111 100.0 333 36.64 1787 188.06 333 Collaborators 2 Rajendiran V 12 10.8 25 5.33 169 36.57 77 3 Suresh E 11 9.9 15 4.17 46 13.55 81 4 Murali M 9 8.1 17 2.71 70 11.24 36 5 Viswanathan R 9 8.1 64 4.35 274 18.64 14 6 Addison AW 8 7.2 12 0.59 117 6.34 2 7 Maheswari PU 8 7.2 37 6.26 261 43.35 38 8 Mayilmurugan R 8 7.2 34 6.88 79 15.25 55 9 Stoeckli-Evans H 8 7.2 15 3.63 110 23.58 55 10 NATARAJAN C 7 6.3 11 0.36 74 2.45 8 11 Balamurugan R 6 5.4 14 1.69 104 14.92 30 12 Mahadevan S 6 5.4 41 2.98 270 20.30 11 13 Velusamy M 6 5.4 40 5.61 114 15.05 23 14 Butcher RJ 5 4.5 4 0.27 68 4.58 3 15 Gopalan RS 5 4.5 18 2.16 84 9.81 17 16 Lakshminarayanan M 5 4.5 48 2.79 178 10.41 7 17 PANDIYAN T 5 4.5 39 2.24 111 6.46 8 18 SIVASAMY P 5 4.5 1 0.05 20 1.04 1 19 Vaidyanathan M 5 4.5 17 1.46 114 10.21 15 20 VIJAYAKUMAR CT 5 4.5 1 0.05 20 1.04 1 21 Balasubramanian T 4 3.6 35 2.57 144 10.73 6 22 Dhanalakshmi T 4 3.6 8 1.87 14 3.20 30 23 Periasamy VS 4 3.6 3 0.83 28 7.92 34 24 Selvi PT 4 3.6 8 1.00 96 13.83 15 25 Sivagnanam U 4 3.6 10 0.78 54 4.16 3 26 WEST DX 4 3.6 2 0.07 42 1.50 1 27 Akbarsha MA 3 2.7 3 0.83 27 7.42 18 28 Halcrow MA 3 2.7 3 0.50 51 8.66 14 29 Kulkarni GU 3 2.7 15 2.06 49 6.81 7 30 Manohar H 3 2.7 38 2.23 97 5.81 5 31 Muthiah PT 3 2.7 12 0.80 50 3.50 3 32 Ramakrishnan S 3 2.7 3 0.50 21 4.50 33 33 SINN E 3 2.7 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 34 Somasundaram I 3 2.7 7 0.45 33 2.11 4 35 Uma R 3 2.7 7 0.42 71 4.27 5 36 Visvaganesan K 3 2.7 5 1.25 8 2.00 23 37 ARUMUGAM N 2 1.8 1 0.03 23 0.80 1 38 Chikira M 2 1.8 14 1.67 92 12.67 6 39 Henkel G 2 1.8 5 0.56 27 2.68 5 40 Kilner CA 2 1.8 3 0.50 35 5.46 9 41 Kockerling M 2 1.8 5 0.56 27 2.68 5 42 Krishnamurthy H 2 1.8 2 0.50 20 5.25 27 43 MANISANKAR P 2 1.8 1 0.03 23 0.80 1 44 Muthiah TP 2 1.8 23 1.77 110 8.46 4 45 Parthasarathi R 2 1.8 6 1.13 35 6.73 7 46 REEDIJK J 2 1.8 9 0.39 63 2.74 0 47 Sivasubramanian S 2 1.8 1 0.03 23 0.80 1 48 Srinag BS 2 1.8 2 0.50 20 5.25 27 49 Sugizaki T 2 1.8 14 1.67 92 12.67 6 50 Sundaravel K 2 1.8 2 0.67 5 2.00 14 Out of the 111 papers of Prof. M. Palaniandavar, papers written in single–author collaboration with other contemporaries accounted for Mahadevan 6 Papers with 270 Global Citation Scores followed by Maheswari 8 paper with 261 Global Citation Scores and 2 papers has been written with out collaborators. As a matter fact, the collaborated papers of Prof. M. Palaniandavar have made great impact to the scientific world. In comparison with the number of citations per paper, it has been observed that collaborated papers are well ahead of self-written papers. Again, Table 9 reveals that citations to the collaborated papers varied from collaborator to collaborator. Papers with ‘R. Visvanathan’ 9 Papers with 274 Global Citation Scores followed by ‘V. Rajendiran’ 12 Papers with 169 Global Citation Scores, could make remarkably great impact than any other collaborators. It is also pointed out that the number of citations per papers written in collaboration with ‘Addison AW’; ‘Velusamy M’; ‘Balasubramanian T’ etc. are also well placed in the forefront. 4. 9 Single Vs Multi-Authors Table 10 Shows Single Vs Multi- Authors # Author Records % 2 1.80 2 Double Authors 35 31.53 3 Three Authors 30 27.03 4 Four Authors 27 24.32 5 Five Authors 7 6.31 6 Six Authors 4 3.61 7 Seven Authors 2 1.80 8 Eight Authors 3 2.70 9 Nine Authors 0 0.00 1 0.90 111 100 1 Single Author 10 Ten and More Authors Total The table 10 shows the distribution of single Vs multiple authored papers of Prof. M. Palaniandavar published in the field of Chemistry. It could be deduced from that among Prof. M. Palaniandavar publications multi- authored papers dominate with the high percent of 98.20. The single authored papers are less, which reflects the fact that the group activity in research and problem solving activities in the field of chemistry is found high. Table .11 Professor M.

CHAPTER – V FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION 5. 0 INTRODUCTION The research has been undertaken to assess the research productivity of Prof. M. Palaniandavar Literatures. 5. 1 FINDINGS OF THE STUDY The present study leads to the following observations: The findings of the year wise distribution of research output of Prof. M. Palaniandavar bring out the fact that the highest numbers of publication is 11 in 1996 with 42 Local Citation Scores and 177 Global Citation Scores The findings of the authorship pattern of Prof. M. Palaniandavar bring out the fact that majority of papers are multi-authored. In Indian context shows that majority of papers are multi-authored compare with global the result is vice versa. The finding of the ranking of collaborators based on their publications bring out the fact that Rajendiran captured the first place with 12 Publications with 25 Local Citation Scores and 169 Global Citation Scores followed by Suresh captured the second place with 11 publications with 15 Local Citation Scores and 46 Global Citation Scores. The finding of the source wise distribution of research output brings out the fact that the journals articles occupied the predominant place among the other sources of publication. The finding of the ranking of journals brings out the fact that the highest numbers of publications were 17(15.3%) published in Inorganic Chemistry with 489 Global Citation Scores followed by Journal of the Chemical Society-Daliton Transactions 14(12.6%) with 366 Global Citation Scores. Finding of the h-index brings out the fact that the highest numbers of h-index is 25 compare with other scientist in Bharathidasan University he possessed second rank. 5. 2 SUGGESSTIONS There are needs to provide more infrastructure facilities to Bharathidasan University. Government funding agencies should allocate number of project’s and funds to Bharathidasan University based on the request and demands. There is a need to provide incentives and awards to the eminent and outstanding scientists and researchers depending on their level of contribution to the growth of research and development of the discipline. 5. 3 CONCLUSION Quantitative analysis and graphic presentations of the publication productivity of a scientist facilitates easy and clear perceptions about the work of a scientist. Team of research collaborators working with a successful scientist documents the sociological aspects of history of science while generating knowledge by a leader in a domain. Core journal titles and keywords in the titles of the articles provide glimpses of the domains of interest to the researchers. This methodology has become successful in projecting the work of role model scientists. Prof. M. Palaniandavar had a brilliant academic and research career. The number of publications to his credit in various domains and interdomainery nature clearly indicates that under very limited facilities also he had proved his merit. Thus, he can be taken as an exemplary role model for younger generation to follow his leadership style in Chemistry. Prof. M. Palaniandavar collaborated with 99 scientists during 1979-2010, which indicated his exceptional capability to motivate contemporaries and harness their expertise through mentorship. The trend towards collaborative research is gaining currency day-by-day. Every work of researchers depends purely on the library because it contains more sourceable information. The research in the field of Chemistry has become an important entity wherein more and more researchers help to make it innovative. BIBLIOGRAPHIES Prakasan, E. “Sustained R., Kalyane, impact of V.
