Abstract
Agricultural research in West Bengal, as seen from CAB Abstracts for a 15-year period from 1993–2007is quantified and mapped. Researchers from 303 institutions located in 45 cities/towns have authored 10417 papers in 1178 journals published from 53 countries and other literary forms. The result shows that there has been a topsy-turvy growth in the research publication during the period. Top 50 journals with 30 or more papers have only 8 foreign journals. Institutions publishing large number of papers in different areas are identified. The authorship pattern shows the trends towards collaborative research. Potential areas of agriculture are also identified. This macroscopic analysis not only provides an insight in to the Bengal’s publication scenario, but also gives an idea of indigenous research capacity.
