Abstract

There has been a substantial growth in India's publications in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine in the last few years. In 2022, it ranked number one in South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) nations, number three among Asian countries, and number 14 globally. Its global contribution in the 1996-2022 period was 1.39%, as compared to 6.56% of China (4.72 times lesser), but this gap has reduced in 2022, where India's contribution increased to 2.82%, as compared to 6.32% from China (2.24 times lesser). More concrete efforts are needed to boost the research output from India to further enhance the quantum and quality of publications. It is recommended that adequate research funding and collaboration (national and international) is needed on priority to meet these demands and try to ensure that no good research is wasted, without a publication.
