Abstract
The paper presents a scenario in research activity undertaken by HP based authors solely or in collaboration
with other authors at academic and research Institutes of Himachal Pradesh as visualized in SCOPUS. The
data retrieved from SCOPUS covers the period 1952-beginning of Jan. 2015. Various parameters like decade
wise growth of publications, research productivity of top 10 authors, highly researched subject areas, the
most cited papers, citation overview of the extremely preferred journals have been taken into account. This
paper finds out the top 4 districts of Himachal Pradesh whose authors have come out with maximum
research output.The study reveals that the research gained momentum after 1970 with the establishment of
HP University. Out of top 10 authors 7 belong to Himachal Pradesh University. Authors of Himachal
Pradesh have worked more in collaboration with the authors of other Indian states than with other International
authors. Pure and applied sciences have remained the highly focussed areas of research as compared
to Social sciences. Agriculture has emerged as the most researched subject area.
