Academic Membership
ACM
2024-Continued
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is the world's largest educational and scientific computing society, dedicated to advancing computing as a science and profession. As a member, I engage with a global community of innovators, access valuable resources such as research publications, and participate in events that foster professional growth and collaboration in the field of technology.
ISSI
2022-Continued
The International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI) is a global professional organization dedicated to the study of scientific and scholarly communication, as well as the quantitative analysis of science and technology. Founded in 1993, ISSI aims to foster collaboration and communication among scholars and practitioners interested in scientometrics and informetrics, and to promote the development and application of innovative methods and tools for the analysis of scientific and scholarly communication.
Academic Groups
Indian Science Reports
2022-Continued
The Indian Science Reports portal is a repository of various quantitative indicators of Indian Scientific research during the period 2010-19. While some indicator values (namely, TP, TC and Cited %) are taken from the scholarly database Dimensions, most of the other indicators are computed by using standard Scientometric methods. Some values (such as x and x(g) index) are computed by using network-based and text-based analytical methods. Relevant comparisons with other major countries are also provided..
TextAnalytics
2021-Continued
Text Analytics Research is a group of researchers working in the area of text analytics, information systems, scientometrics and artificial intelligence. The group also maintains a Text Analytics Laboratory based at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. The group members include faculty members, post doctoral researchers, doctoral researchers, few masters students and some collaborators from India and abroad.
