Abstract

An attempt has been made to analyze the scholarly publications of Plagiarism as reflected through web of science in global wise. The study covers in different variables such as sources, year wise, top 10 authors, and top 25 institutions, top 25 country wise, top 20 journals and top 25 keyword wise distribution of contributions. The Time span is for the year between 2010 and 2014 which is limited only recent five years only. The findings of the study reveal that the majority of 442 (55.8%) scientific publications have been published in scholarly journals. The maximum number of articles were published in 2013 and the lowest number i.e. 130 (16.4%) of research papers were published in 2010. The TLCS and TGCS are increased in the year 2010 and gradually it has been decreased in the year 2014. It is noticed that the share of publications output by Indian authors is 16 articles i.e. 2.07% of 776 papers published by authors from all over the world in different journals of 5 years.
