The paper intends to analyse the collaboration pattern of the Indian geologists as well as the impact of their research output. The published articles which are indexed in the Web of Science Database have been analysed. A total of 583 records were retrieved from the database for the period of 20 years i.e. 1998-2017. The value collaboration co-efficient (0.62) indicates that articles are contributed in collaboration rather isolation. Maximum articles (55.4%) were collaborated at domestic level as compared to international level (34.3%). However, internationally collaborated articles received more number of citations (CPP=22) as compared to domestically collaborated articles (CPP=8). Out of 583 articles 16% have not been cited so far, and for the rest 84% CPP is 13. In terms of affinity towards India, USA dominates with 56 papers out of 200 internationally collaborated papers and AFI=20 followed by UK (AFI=9) and Germany (AFI=9). Internationalization index is having the value of 138.5 Maximum articles (81.3%) have been published in the top ten journals of which Himalayan Geology holds first rank. Articles published in the journal Geology received highest citation per paper (CPP=39).

1998-2017 年 Web of Science 反映的印度地质研究

本文旨在分析印度地质学家的合作模式及其研究成果的影响。已对在 Web of Science 数据库中编入索引的已发表文章进行了分析。从数据库中检索了 20 年（即 1998-2017 年）的 583 条记录。价值协作系数 (0.62) 表明文章是在协作中而不是孤立地贡献的。与国际水平（34.3%）相比，国内水平合作的文章最多（55.4%）。然而，与国内合作文章（CPP=8）相比，国际合作文章获得的引用次数更多（CPP=22）。到目前为止，在 583 篇文章中，16% 的文章未被引用，其余 84% 的 CPP 为 13。在对印度的亲和力方面，在 200 篇国际合作论文中，美国以 56 篇占据主导地位，AFI=20，其次是英国（AFI=9）和德国（AFI=9）。国际化指数为138.5 最多（81.3%）在喜马拉雅地质学排名前十的期刊上发表过最多的文章（81.3%）。发表在 Geology 杂志上的文章每篇论文的引用次数最高 (CPP=39)。
