Abstract

The scientometrics research uses various online database, indices and tools in order to establish relationships between authors or their work. This paper describes the scope and limitations of scientometrics - online database, scientometrics indices to perform qualitative/quantitative evaluations and scientometrics tools used to assess the quality of research. The data retrieved from Web of Science on the topic Nanoscience and Nanotechnology during the 2006-2010 i.e. 5 years of records of Indian contributions were analyzed by using various indices.
