India ranks 3rd in the Asian region for scientific research in 2024, demonstrating a strong output with 1167 documents and 1056 citable documents. Its H-index of 101 further solidifies its position as a significant contributor to global research, though it trails behind giants like China and Japan in overall volume and the latter in impact.

While India's citations per document (0.51) are comparable to China, there's room for improvement in research impact when compared to countries like Japan (0.56) or even Indonesia (2.41), which, despite lower publication numbers, show higher citation rates per paper. This suggests that while India is prolific, focusing on increasing the average impact of its publications could further elevate its standing in the international research landscape.
