Abstract

This paper investigates the research performance of all 29 private universities of Uttar Pradesh, India. The study was conducted by extracting data from 29 universities from the SCOPUS database. A total of 17 universities have indexed their research publications in SCOPUS. The Affiliation search technique was applied to extract the data of all the Private Universities one by one. Data were downloaded in the format as per the requirement of visualization software used for this study. The data were analyzed using bibliometric tools like R, VOSViewer, and MS Excel separately for each university and later data of all universities tabloid in different sheets as per the research questions. There are a total of 12 private universities in Uttar Pradesh India which have no publications indexed in SCOPUS. Among all the Private Universities, Jaypee University has maximum research output and a leading university in the state and received 1st rank. Similarly, Sharda University published 2nd highest publications among the universities of Uttar Pradesh. During the designing of methodology and analysis, there were implications that every university had no research or publications indexed in the SCOPUS database. Even though it was a bulk study and covering maximum private universities of Uttar Pradesh which assembled a huge amount of data for study, managing and arranging the data was difficult. The publications and research results of private universities are taken for the study and data analyzed without any manipulation of fake data. This study can be useful for further study to illustrate the constraints, challenges, and opportunities of the private universities of Uttar Pradesh and policy may be framed to enhance the research activities in the premises of the institutions. It may be helpful to the university authorities to make a policy by evaluating their planning of research and development.
