摘要：The paper undertakes comparative assessment of India and the worldliterature in social science covering the period 1996-2014 on a series of bibliometric indicators. The data for the study was sourced from SCImago Journals and Country Rank database. Thestudy reveals that status of India in social science research in comparison to the world is not encouraging. In terms of quality and quantity of publications, India stands low on its global citations share (0.41%), relative citation index (0.44),global publication share (1.41%), and international collaborative publications share (18.14%).India’s annual growth rate in social science research (12.66%) has however been faster relative to the world (6.80%). India’s international collaborative research was largest in social science – general (7.8% share) and the least in psychology (1.58%). In the remaining three sub-disciplines covering social science, the country’s share of International collaborative papers was modest (varying 2.5% to 3.6% of the total output in social science).India and the world selectively differ in the order of their research priorities in social sciences.
