Conclusions
The field of cancer research is very old and from the
primitive age, researchers and scientist started their work
on cancer. Nowadays, the whole world is busy finding out
the solution to cancer. India is also one of them. The
growth of publication in Indian journals is very interesting
but in 2020, the growth of publication slightly decreased
probably due to the pandemic situation. We all know that
Covid-19 dangerously stops all the activities throughout
the world. Simply, it affected the academic publication
field also. It is also important that the authors from various
counties (USA, UK, French, Canada, Australia,
Switzerland, Brazil, Spain, Russia, China, etc.) contributed
their scientific production in Indian journals. The authors
from the world famous universities and research
institutions have contributed their research outputs in
Indian journals (i.e. International Agency for Research on
Cancer, France (68 papers and 20,219 citations),
University of Oxford, UK (25 papers and 17,683
citations), Johns Hopkins University, USA (127 papers
and 7,812 citations), University of Michigan, USA (58
papers and 5,983 citations), Harvard University, USA (61
papers and 4,539 citations), National University of
Singapore, Singapore (95 papers and 3,518 citations),
King Saud University, Saudi Arabia (206 papers and 2950
citations), University of Queensland, Australia (28 papers
and 2580 citations), University of Toronto, Canada (69
papers and 2553 citations), National Taiwan University,
Taiwan (17 papers and 2133 citations), University of
Pittsburgh, USA (61 papers and 2022 citations) University
of Indonesia, Indonesia (13 papers and 1794 citations),
University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong (21 papers and
1663 citations), University of Colorado, USA (35 papers
and 1518 citations), University of Washington, USA (39
papers and 1424 citations), The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg
School of Public Health, USA (13 papers and 1092
citations), Karolinska Institute, Sweden (29 papers and
1011 citations), King's College London, UK (35 papers
and 1005 citations) etc.). In this study, it is a very
interesting fact that most of the foreign authors and
institutions contributed very few papers but they have
received more and more citations. Actually, they have
contributed very quality scientific productions in a
collaborative manner. They collaborated with Indian
authors and authors from other countries to snatch out the
best result on cancer research. Collaborations among
authors, organizations, or countries extend the possibilities
of discovery of new ideas and motivate the researchers to
maintain a relation and develop a scientific network
(Dusdal & Powell, 2021). So, the primary advantages of
collaboration are sharing and transferring of skills and
knowledge as well as research equipment, development of
a worldwide scientific network, more and more visibility
of scientific output (Gazni, Sugimoto, & Didegah,
Mapping world scientific collaboration: authors,
institutions, and countries, 2012), encourage in creativity,
it widens to access a wider array of techniques for
research, deeper research, higher impact of publications
etc. (Global Academy Jobs.com, 2020). So, it is always
accepted that only collaborative research can give more
and more satisfactory results and quality production. And
again, it is proved that medical science is the field, where
most of the authors do their research in a collaborative
way.
