Scopus-based publication analysis of IoT-enabled precision agriculture and smart sensor networks Ashish Kumar, Ritu Rani, Sanjiv Kadyan, Amit Kumar, Anil Kumar Siwach, Amit Conference Proceedings 1st International Conference on Advancing Sustainable Solutions Through Technologies Icasst 2026, 2026 With the adoption of technological advancements in agricultural practices, IoTs and smart sensor networks have opened doors to a new era of precision agriculture that is not only economical but also sustainable. This study performs a bibliometric and thematic analysis of highly cited Scopus-indexed publications in the domain to present an overview of major indicators like the most preferred document types, top authors, and countries, and their citational trends over the last ten years. The study found a cent percent dominance of collaborative publications in the domain, with F.J. Barba having the largest collaborative community among the most prolific contributors. India, China, and the USA are the nations leading the research focused on the application of these technologies for precision agriculture. 2020 and 2021 were the most active years, where the most impactful publications marked their citational peaks, making them the most active years for the domain. The study revealed a transition from monitoring technologies to the use of AI and machine learning for decision-making in agriculture. The findings of the study will guide the researchers and policymakers interested in this research area to make decisions regarding their future work.
Mapping the Landscape of MOOCs Research: A Bibliometric Analysis of Top 100 Cited Papers Poornima Devi, Preeti, Ritu Rani, Amit Kumar, Anil Kumar Siwach Desidoc Journal of Library and Information Technology, 2025 This study analysed the top 100 cited papers on MOOCs research to identify prolific contributors and factors influencing citation count. Bibliometric approach was employed to examine the objectives. Various aspects of the publications, such as publication year, accessibility, document type, research design, top contributors, collaboration patterns, and factors influencing citation count, were analysed. The study found that highly cited papers on MOOCs research from 2013 to 2016 consisted mainly of articles and conference papers. Open-access publications received more citations compared to subscription-based papers, and papers that applied a mixed method approach to research design received the highest average citation. The USA has produced the highest number of highly cited papers and R.F. Kizilcec, P.J. Guo, and J. Reich were the most prolific authors. This study aims to provide valuable insights to improve student engagement, retention rates, and access to education.
Analysis of Indian Retracted Publications: A Study Based on Scopus Data Amit Kumar, Anil Kumar Siwach Serials Librarian, 2024 Retracted publications are the scholarly articles that have been withdrawn from publication by authors or journals due to errors, misconduct, or ethical concerns. The present study aims to identify and analyse retracted papers by Indian authors. The data was extracted from the Scopus and also checked from the Retraction Watch database along with the journal's website. The extracted data was analysed using MS Excel, Jamovi, and SPSS-21. The study examined the year-wise retraction rate, reasons for retraction, authorship patterns, time lag for retraction, and impact on citations after retraction. The results showed that while the number of retracted publications per year increased over time, the rate of retraction per 10K publications remained constant. Duplicate publication and plagiarism were the most common reasons for retraction. Approximately one-third of the publications were retracted within six months, and the retraction time decreased over the years, especially in open-access journals. The average number of citations per paper per year before and after retraction were nearly similar. This study could assist librarians and researchers in understanding retractions, avoiding their use, and being cautious when referencing them.
Bibliometric Analysis of the Top 100 Cited Papers on Predatory Publishing Amit Kumar, Anil Kumar Siwach, Poornima Devi Science and Technology Libraries, 2024 Predatory publishing is the unethical and dishonest behavior of publishers who take advantage of researchers by charging them too much money and not providing good editing and peer-review services. Scholars, publishers and policymakers are seeking solutions to combat predatory publishing, which has become a major academic problem. This research paper provides a bibliometric analysis of the citation patterns and trends in the predatory publishing literature. The study analyzed the 100 top-cited papers on predatory publishing and provided insight into the types of documents, journals, authors, and countries that contributed to this field. The average citation per paper in the top 100 selected publications was 53.67. Open-access publications received a significantly higher average citation per paper than subscription-based papers. “Article” was the major type of document published, followed by “Notes,” “Reviews” and “Editorials.” Nature and Learned Publishing were the journals that contained the highest number of top-cited articles. J. Beall and D. Moher authored the highest number of papers, while A. Grudniewicz had the highest average citation per paper. USA and Canada were the top countries in these top-cited publications. This study will be beneficial to the all the stakeholders who may be interested in this area of research.

Nirf india rankings 2020: Analyzing the ranking parameters and score of top 100 universities Amit Kumar, Kuldeep Singh, Anil Kumar Siwach Desidoc Journal of Library and Information Technology, 2021 National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) was launched on 29 September 2015 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India to rank the academic & research institutions across the country. The NIRF E-release of India Ranking 2020 was held on 11th June 2020. The present study analyses the top 100 Universities in terms of visualisation of data, the relationship of ranking with the parameters, and the relations among these parameters. Results of the study indicate that the Teaching, Learning & Resources (TLR) score for all the universities was almost similar while Research and Professional Practice (RP) score had a considerable variation and played a significant role in ranking by having a positive linear correlation with the total score with the value of R2= 0.746. RP also has a strong correlation with the Peer Perception (PR) of the university. The average library expenditure of top-10 universities was 9.45 crore per annum. It was also found that library expenditure has a positive correlation with RP and the universities with higher research productivity also have a more outstanding quality of publication in terms of citations.
