Abstract

Abstract
Forensic science is the application of science and technology to the detection of crime. Scientometric studies on individual scientists, which is also known as scientometric portraits can throw light on the evolution of the subjects. This study is aimed at drawing the scientometric portraits of a group of top productive 40 authors contributing to Indian forensic science. The relationships between productivity and citations and also between relative quality index and relative citation rate are also examined in the light of the data on these 40 authors. Bibliographical and citation data pertaining to Indian forensic science during the period 1975 to 2012 were downloaded from SCOPUS database. Data analysis and visualization are done using Ms-Excel, VOSviewer and Pajek software.
Keywords: Scientometrics, authorship productivity, relative citation rate, relative quality index, h-index, forensic science
