KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research’s Scholarly Research Trends: Bibliometric Study

Abstract

Abstract Aim: The purpose of this article is to give an analysis of developing trends and research hotspots within the KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research (KAHER) Group using bibliometric methodologies. Materials and Methods: Using co-authorship, co-citation, and co-occurrence analysis, publications from the Scopus database for the years 1973–2022 are examined and analyzed on a variety of factors. R-Programming (Biblioshiny) and VOSViewer, an application for scientific visualization, are used to do the analysis. Results: There were 1721 publications in Scopus throughout the study period, with 83.9% of those being journal articles and the remaining 6% being letters and case studies. Research generally shows a constant rise with growing multi-authorship. The most sought-after magazine for publishing by the writers at KAHER is “Reproductive Health,” and they prefer to collaborate on research pieces. In addition, health-care science services and medical informatics have steadily developed into new areas of scientific interest. Originality: This study offers a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the KAHERs’ formative environment. This study can serve as a solid starting point for future research and can be used to analyze how health science research has changed overtime. Conclusion: The study reveals KAHER’s robust publishing productivity and impact, with a diverse output among authors and a consistent growth in the number of publications. The dominance of collaborative research, high citation rates, and the prevalence of medical research suggest the importance of international collaborations and the implementation of an institutional online repository system for enhanced research efficacy and accessibility.
