This work addresses the lack of collaboration in social science research between India and Pakistan, which is incremental as it applies existing bibliometric methods to a specific regional context.
The study analyzed social science publication data from India and Pakistan to identify collaboration networks, finding that despite shared social issues like poverty and education, collaboration between the two countries' research communities is weak.
In this study, we use research publication data from the field of social science to identify collaboration networks among social science research communities of India and Pakistan. We have used Scopus database to extract information of social science journals for both countries India and Pakistan. Study of this data is significant as both countries have common social issues and many of common social values. Keywords analysis has been done to see common research areas in both communities like poverty, education, the issue of gender etc. Despite having many of the common social issues, collaboration among social science research communities of both countries is not strong.
