Abstract:
The research productivity data for the period from 2000 to 2020 were extracted from Google Scholar, web search engine. A total of 142 research items were published on egg fertility and hatchability across the world during the study period. The number of papers published in a year from India ranged from 12 (2013) to 2 (2006). The percent share of total publication was highest in 2013 (8.45%) and lowest in 2006 (1.41%). The relative growth rate (RGR) is highest in the year 2001 with the value 0.938 and it is found to be gradually decreasing throughout the years and reached the value 0.035 in the year 2016. However, the broad trends and key metrics derived from the study could provide inputs for making policy decisions on institutional strengthening, forging collaborations, enhancing grants and prioritizing research focus.
