| Summary: | The collaboration in science and technology (S&T) is fast emerging in the
scientific world. India recognized the importance of international scientific
collaboration in S&T quite early and has signed a number of S&T agreements
with South East Asian countries. In this paper, the collaboration is presented
through the analysis of co-authored research papers published during theperiod
1996 to 2000 in the journals covered by the Science Citation Index. The study
covers the nature and the areas of S&T collaborations, institutions involved, and
the impact of these collaborations on their individualfields. It is revealed that a
total of 329 co-authored papers were published during the period. Out of these,
214 were published through bilateral and 115 through multilateral efforts. The
priority areas vary with the nature of collaboration as well as with the
collaborating country. The institutions involved in these collaborations are also
indicated. The research papers analyzed reflect the present status of India's
collaboration in S&T with the South East Asian countries. Such a study will help
decision-makers to identify the potential S&T areas for future international
cooperation. |
