Malaysian publication productivity in the field of engineering using scopus: a bibliometric study

Abstract

This paper analyzed on publication from Scopus in engineering subject area by using the bibliometrics analysis in twenty years. Data of publication obtained from Scopus website by using the affiliation from Malaysia and the keyword search are engineering and chemical engineering. There are 6137 publications was obtained in the study. The top three types of documents are conference paper (4035), article (1999) and review (62). The four most productive countries are Malaysia (6137), United Kingdom (429), United States of America (199) and India (199). Many researchers publish their work in IEEE Region 10 Annual International Conference, Proceedings/TENCON, Proceedings of World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, and IEEE International Conference on Semiconductor Electronics, Proceedings. The most prolific authors were Majlis B.Y. (60), Seetharamu K.N. (49) and Mohamed A.(47) has published the most article in the field of engineering in Malaysia.
