“…Previous works have shown increasing trend in usage of bibliometric analysis as tool to evaluate research output and quality from many dimensions. For example, previous works have analysed publication of community, university, country, and even group of countries using bibliometric analysis [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] . Furthermore, bibliometric analysis has also been done to target specific subject areas such as science and technology 11,14 , humanities and social sciences 15 , environmental science 16 , public health 17 , etc.…”

This article analyses research productivity and international collaboration of top Indonesian universities. The data were collected from Scopus with regard to number of documents, authors, affiliation and country partners in research. The top ten Indonesian universities were then chosen for analysis. The results suggest that top universities in Indonesia published articles in peerreviewed journals earlier too, but showed slow progress before 2000. After 2010 the number of documents increased significantly, especially among the three largest Indonesian universities, i.e.

“…12 Bibliometrics is defined as the application of mathematics and statistical methods to communication media. Bibliometrics have been used extensively to evaluate research progress quantitatively, for example in studying research output for specific countries [13][14][15] in a continent or a region such as Africa or southern Africa 16,17 or sometimes for a research discipline such as nanotechnology 9,18 or even a single institution 19 . One problem identified in bibliometric research is the classification and delineation of fields, for example, for new and emerging areas like biotechnology and nanotechnology the definitions differ among different application areas, including which areas it encompasses.…”

ARTICLE INCLUDES:× Supplementary material × Data set FUNDING:None Nanotechnology is a fast-growing scientific research area internationally and is classified as an important emerging research area. In response to this importance, South African researchers and institutions have also increased their efforts in this area. A bibliometric study of articles as indexed in the Web of Science considered the development in this field with respect to the growth in literature, collaboration profile and the research areas that are more within the country's context. We also looked at public institutions that are more active in this arena, including government policy considerations as guided by the National Nanotechnology Strategy launched in 2005. We found that the number of nanotechnology publications have shown a remarkable growth ever since the launch of the strategy. Articles on nanotechnology have been published in numerous journals, with Electrochimica Acta publishing the most, followed by Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. These publications fall within the traditional domains of chemistry and physics. In terms of the institutional profile and based on publication outputs over the period reviewed, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research is a leading producer of publications in nanotechnology, followed by the University of the Witwatersrand -institutions that are both based in the Gauteng Province. There is a high level of international collaboration with different countries within this field -the most productive collaboration is with India, followed by the USA and China, as measured through co-authorship. Significance:• Nanotechnology as a field of research is experiencing rapid growth and there is a need to understand progress from a South African perspective. IntroductionInnovations linked to science and technology developments are believed to be promising contributors to economic progress internationally. In response to this promise, South Africa adopted the National Research and Development Strategy 1 in 2002 to enable the transition from a resource-based economy to a knowledge economy, which was followed by the Ten-Year Innovation Plan towards a knowledge-based economy 2 . This strategy was viewed as pivotal to the achievement of national goals, including enhanced economic growth, industrial competitiveness, as well as social and developmental aspirations.3 To this end, a number of targeted interventions and investments were made in specific fields of science, one of which was nanotechnology. Nanoscience and nanotechnology (N&N) is now widely recognised as an area of science and technology that promises to bring many scientific breakthroughs in the coming years, which will have a meaningful impact on the economy. According to Lux Research 4 , the revenue from nano-enabled products worldwide as of 2014 stood at USD1.6 trillion -a growth of 90% in 2 years from USD850 billion in 2012. The application of nanomaterials occurs in many industries such as cosmetics, construction and electronics. It is i...

“…Collectively, these institutions contribute significantly to the development needs of South Africa and Africa at large. Drawing from Chiware and Skelly (2016), the authors attribute South Africa's research output status to good collaboration with the global north and the fact that South African researchers are "better connected to external sources of knowledge". Chiware and Skelly (2016) also claimed that global north partners prefer to work with wellestablished scholars to advance knowledge generation.…”

“…South Africa's 'research collaboration publication rate' is 53% while Brazil's is 25%, China's 23% and India's 20%. For all intents and purposes, "South Africa has become a regional hub for collaboration, given its relative strength in higher education, better funding schemes and policy frameworks, well developed research and ICT infrastructures..." (Chiware and Skelly 2016). However, Kahn (2011) cautioned that South Africa's research collaboration publication rate renders South Africa vulnerable should those collaborations weaken.…”
