Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes India’s contribution to world tribology research during the period 2001–2012 based on SCOPUS records. India’s global publication share, annual output, and its citation impact of Indian contribution, partner countries, leading contributors, leading institutes, and highly cited papers were analyzed. Additionally, a cloud technique is used to map frequently used single words in titles. It is observed that India ranks in the 7 th position with a global publication share of 3.83% and an annual average growth rate of 25.58% during the peri-od 2001–2012. The citation impact of India’s contribution is 6.05 which decreased from 12.74 during 2001–2006 to 4.62 during 2007-2012. 17.4% of India’s total research output was published with international collaboration. Keywords : Tribology Research, Scientometrics, Word Cloud, India 1. INTRODUCTION Tribology is the science and technology of two interacting surfaces in relative motion and of related subjects and practices. The term was coined by Jost (1966) in a report and derives from the Greek word

Summary
Tribology is the science and technology of two interacting surfaces in relative motion and of related subjects and practices. Tribology is a multidisciplinary field which incorporates a number of disciplines, including mechanical engineering, material science, mechanics, surface chemistry, surface physics, and a multitude of subjects such as surface characterization, friction, wear, lubrication, thin films and coatings, materials, Open Access.
