Nutrition is an important supplement for the growth and the development of the human beings. In this pandemic of COVID19, the health has become a prime importance and whole world focusing on building immunity by maintain the balanced and healthy diet. Many researchers put emphasis on what to eat when to eat and how maintain all the nutrients. Looking to the importance of the field, in this paper an attempt has been made to analyse the literature available on Nutrition. Bibliometrics is a statistical tool used to analyse the track of researcher output and its impact. For this the bibliometric analysis was carried to predict the most prolific authors, journals, growth of literature, country collaboration. The data was retrieved from the web of science; it is the world’s most trusted global citation database. In total there are 3686 articles published on Nutrition from 2010 to 2019, in India. Most of the publication output is in Journal of Food Science and Technology, Mysore with 114 publications and 3355 citations. The top ranked author is Kumar A with 78 articles and 1280 citations. It was observed that there is continuous growth in literature and henceforth, it’s a time to adopt a holistic life to have natural immunity by natural food.

Academic social networking sites (ASNS) are trending in academics and play a significant role in disseminating knowledge. The study aims to explore the usage of ASNS by the faculty members and researchers of NIFT Centers across India. An online questionnaire method used to collect the primary data from 17 NIFT Centers. According to the results of the data analysis, the majority of respondents were aware of and utilised academic social networking sites (ASNS) in NIFT Centers. Google Scholar achieved the highest level of awareness and usage (34.98 %), followed by ResearchGate (27.09 %), Linkedin (18.23 %), and Academia.edu (17.24 %). The findings indicate that faculty members and researchers use ASNS primarily to access freely available millions of research papers, slightly less for communicating in a new way with researchers, and very rarely for increasing citations of research papers. Finally, the results reveal a positive attitude towards using famous academic social networking sites. NIFT should organise workshops and seminars on ASNS platforms to raise awareness and visibility of their research.
