本文使用科学计量技术评估了 1976 年至 1989 年间科学与工程研究委员会 (SERC) 资助对化学科学的影响。其他指标包括获得的奖项、著名学院的奖学金、项目研究人员获得的编辑委员会成员资格、博士学位。还对因国家电力监管委员会资助而授予的学位、建立的合作和引入的新课程进行了分析。研究表明，尽管印度在化学科学各个前沿领域的活动指数有所下降，但这些领域的研究活动指数却有所上升。印度和世界范围内“有机金属和有机类金属化合物”论文的增长模式相似。 SERC项目研究人员在高影响因子（大于或等于2）期刊的贡献和发表论文的被引用次数均高于印度在化学科学方面的贡献。 SERC 的资助使获得化学科学博士学位和学位的人数增加了三倍，SERC 项目研究人员赢得了许多享有盛誉的奖项、科学院研究员和期刊编辑委员会成员。国家电力监管委员会资助的研究还为多所大学带来了新课程。
The paper assesses impact of Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) funding in chemical sciences during 1976-1989 using scientometric techniques. Other indicators like awards won, fellowship to prestigious academies, membership to editorial boards received by the project investigators, Ph.D. degrees awarded, collaborations established and new courses introduced due to SERC funding have also been analyzed. The study indicates that activity index of research out put in various frontier areas of chemical sciences have gone up despite a decrease in Indian activity index in these areas. The growth pattern of papers for "Organometallic and Organometalloidal Compounds" are similar for India and world. Contribution of SERC's project investigators in high impact factor (greater than or equal to 2) journals and the citations received by the papers published by them are higher than Indian contributions in chemical sciences. The SERC funding has resulted in a three fold increase in the number of Ph.D, degrees awarded in chemical sciences and SERC project investigators have won many prestigious awards, fellowship to academies and membership of the editorial board of the journals. The SERC funded research has also resulted in new courses at various universities.
