该研究分析了2002年至2011年期间印度痴呆症研究产出的不同参数，包括增长，全球出版物份额，引文影响，国际合作论文的份额，主要合作伙伴国家的贡献，各学科领域的贡献和痴呆症的类型，最具生产力的机构和作者的生产力和影响力，以及最具生产力的期刊中的研究交流模式。利用SCOPUS引文数据库检索了10年（2002-11）的数据，通过在其标题、摘要和关键词组合字段中搜索不同的相关关键词来检索数据。在痴呆症研究最有成效的前20个国家中，印度排名第16位（1109篇论文），全球出版份额为1.24%，2002- 2011年期间的年平均出版增长率为25.58%。其全球出版物份额逐年增加，从2002年的0.54%上升到2011年的2.20%。2002- 2011年，其每篇论文的引用影响为5.11，从2002- 2006年的7.29下降到2007- 2011年的4.33。2002- 2011年，其国际合作出版物份额为24.54%，从2002- 2006年的28.57%下降到2007- 2011年的23.07%。考虑到印度有370万人患有痴呆症，印度的出版努力相当低。因此，它需要增加产出，提高研究工作的质量。印度医学和社会研究资助机构必须建立一个更雄心勃勃的资助计划，以研究痴呆症的病因、预防、治疗和护理。在国家一级，有必要进行协商，以制定研究战略，并确定具体方向，调查痴呆症患者的病因、治疗和护理规定。
The study analyses the dementia research output from India during 2002-11 on different parameters including the growth, global publications share, citation impact, share of international collaborative papers, contribution of major collaborative partner countries, contribution of various subject fields and by type of dementia, productivity and impact of most productive institutions and authors and patterns of research communication in most productive journals. SCOPUS Citation Database has been used to retrieve the data for 10 years (2002-11) by searching different relevant keywords in its combined title, abstract and keywords fields. Among the top 20 most productive countries in dementia research, India ranks 16 th (with 1109 papers) with a global publication share of 1.24% and an annual average publication growth rate of 25.58% during 2002-11. Its global publication share has increased over the years, rising from 0.54% in 2002 to 2.20% during 2011. Its citation impact per paper was 5.11 during 2002-11, which decreased from 7.29 during 2002-06 to 4.33 during 2007-11. Its international collaborative publications share was 24.54% during 2002-11, which decreased from 28.57% during 2002-06 to 23.07% during 2007-11. India’s publications efforts are quiet low considering that to 3.7 million people suffering from dementia in India. It, therefore, needs to increase its output and bring about improvement in the quality of its research efforts. Indian medical and social research funding agencies must establish a more ambitious funding program into the causes, prevention, cure and care of dementia. At the national level, there is a need to have a consultation for evolving research strategies and for delineating specific directions to investigate the etiology, treatment and care provisions for persons involved in dementia.
