“…Thus, relevant themes of the Colombian engineering journals available in Scopus aim cover some of the conventional aspects of industrial engineering with hints of chemical engineering, mining engineering, food engineering, and artificial intelligence applications (neural networks, genetic algorithms), which contrasts with more recent engineering issues in international literature and which are present in the journals ranked in the higher quartiles (1 and 2), with higher citations: materials, physics, and astronomy, biophysics, biochemistry, ceramics, biotechnology or biomedical engineering, in which countries such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China have had significant progress [20]. This difference in subject matters may explain the low citation of articles-16 citations in the articles with the most citations in the last five years-and citations below the average for journals ranked in quartile 3.…”

Through a co-occurrence bibliometric and citation analysis of 1.272 texts published in the four Colombian engineering journals available in Scopus between 2014 and 2018, this paper identified that most articles belong to supply chain optimization and logistics and involve work with information that requires minimal laboratory experimentation. Works applying artificial neural networks, clustering, and genetic algorithms are also prominent. Results from researching on biomass analysis on bioenergy and sustainability are more recent and are present to a lesser extent. Most of the reference texts of the articles published come from Spanish-speaking countries and mostly cite DYNA, the European Journal of Operational Research, the Journal of Food Engineering, and Ingeniería e Investigación.

“…Although, in the distribution of OA research output by institutions, among all the five BRICS countries, China ranked first as far as the prominent institutions and OA Journal publications are concerned. Similarly, Elango (2019) assessed that among the BRIC countries China holds 1 st ranked in the world in terms of a number of articles in the field of engineering research. In the contrast, Ligade and Dengale (2019) indicated that among BRICS countries India secured 2 nd position in terms of publishing research papers in science and engineering.…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the current status of research output published in open access (OA) journals from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) countries from 2010 to 2019 and compare their performances in terms of OA research output. Design/methodology/approach Papers contributed by the researchers of BRICS countries were searched using an advanced search option in the Web of Science core collection database. The retrieved results were restricted to the “journal articles” published in the “English language” during the time period of 2010 to 2019. After that, the selected papers were again refined by using the “open access” section to identify the research output of BRICS countries published in OA journals. Findings Total 2,219,943 papers were published from BRICS countries, out of which 402,199 articles were published in OA journals and South Africa has published the highest number of research output in OA journals (31%). Although, there has been a constant increasing growth of research output published in OA journals in BRICS countries from 13,300 papers in 2010 to 82,310 articles in 2019. Engineering and Technology have published the maximum number of papers in OA journals. Researchers of BRICS countries mostly contributed their OA research output in journals published from the USA and Scientific Reports (UK) is identified as one of the leading OA journals. Additionally, among all the BRICS countries, China is found as the promising leader in terms of OA journals publications, the maximum share i.e. 71.25 per cent of total 402,199 OA journal publications have been produced by the highest number 137 (23.41%) of institutions of China and Chinese Academy of Sciences (China) is leading institution with 39,036 papers published in OA journals. Research limitations/implications This study is limited to BRICS countries, but it offers theoretical implications for extending its scope to different countries. This study may be used for raising awareness of OA among researchers of BRICS countries and encouraging them to contribute their research work in OA journals. The findings of this study are useful and meaningful in understanding the comparative status of research across countries, disciplines, journals and institutions. Originality/value This is the first study in BRICS countries focusing on the research output published in OA journals.

“…SJR database (http://www.scimagojr.com) is used to collect bibliometric information for the chosen countries. Nowadays, the SCImago database is also being used to analyse scientific productivity [9][10][11][12] . The present study covers the scientific productivity of these countries for a period of 21 years, 1998-2018.…”

The purpose of this study is to make a quantitative analysis and to compare scientific productivity between the countries of India and South Korea: both countries offer scholarships and fellowships for various programs and disciplines. The data are collected from SCOPUS through the open access portal www.scimagojr.com and mainly focus on rank and number of publications, global publication share and growth of publications, international collaboration pattern, quality of publications, and open access pattern. Various bibliometric indicators have been used along with simple percentage. Further, a new relative indicator Relative Open Access Index (ROAI) is proposed to compare the number of documents in an open access platform with its overall scientific production. Among the most productive countries, India is ranked at fifth and South Korea at thirteenth in the year 2018. India improved by eight positions while South Korea did by three from 1998 to 2018 at the global level. South Korea has a higher proportion of publications with international collaboration as compared to India. Both countries maintain better positions in a few disciplines such as chemical engineering and materials science.
