A citation link is one paper citing another, both in the tracked journals (from OpenAlex references). The source is the country of the cited paper's funders (OpenAlex funders and their countries); the users are the countries and institutions of the citing paper's authors. A link counts once for each funding country of the cited paper and each country (or institution) of the citing paper, so the rows overlap. Papers without funding information, about half of them, have no source. All funding countries: https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain.md ## Key findings - Since 2023, papers in the tracked journals cited the 1,669 papers funded from India 9,064 times (counting each citing country), #21 of 129 funding countries. - 18% of the links come from papers with authors in India; abroad, the largest users are China (4,117), the United States (959) and the United Kingdom (761). - The institutions citing this research most are Hong Kong Polytechnic University (149), Chinese Academy of Sciences (137) and Indian Institute of Technology Indore (127). - The India funders behind the most-cited links are Ministry of Education, India (2,803), Department of Science and Technology, Ministry of Science and Technology, India (1,264) and Science and Engineering Research Board (1,000). - In turn, papers with authors in India draw most on research funded from China (13,567), the United States (3,835) and the United Kingdom (2,217). ## Citing countries *Countries whose papers cite India-funded research, since 2023* | # | Citing country | Links | Share | |---:|---|---:|---:| | 1 | China | 4,117 | 45% | | 2 | India | 1,594 | 18% | | 3 | United States | 959 | 11% | | 4 | United Kingdom | 761 | 8% | | 5 | Australia | 484 | 5% | | 6 | France | 324 | 4% | | 7 | Hong Kong | 300 | 3% | | 8 | South Korea | 276 | 3% | | 9 | Italy | 274 | 3% | | 10 | Canada | 269 | 3% | | 11 | Spain | 262 | 3% | | 12 | Germany | 248 | 3% | | 13 | Turkey | 229 | 3% | | 14 | Singapore | 225 | 2% | | 15 | Iran | 211 | 2% | | 16 | Taiwan | 172 | 2% | | 17 | Saudi Arabia | 152 | 2% | | 18 | Netherlands | 140 | 2% | | 19 | Malaysia | 140 | 2% | | 20 | Japan | 140 | 2% | | 21 | Macao | 127 | 1% | | 22 | United Arab Emirates | 125 | 1% | | 23 | Brazil | 111 | 1% | | 24 | Poland | 105 | 1% | | 25 | Sweden | 104 | 1% | | 26 | Vietnam | 95 | 1% | | 27 | Pakistan | 95 | 1% | | 28 | Finland | 79 | 1% | | 29 | Czechia | 73 | 1% | | 30 | Lebanon | 72 | 1% | ## Citing institutions *Institutions whose papers cite India-funded research most, since 2023* | # | Institution | Country | Links | |---:|---|---|---:| | 1 | [Hong Kong Polytechnic University](https://scholar4ai.com/institutions/hong-kong-polytechnic-university.md) | Hong Kong | 149 | | 2 | [Chinese Academy of Sciences](https://scholar4ai.com/institutions/chinese-academy-of-sciences.md) | China | 137 | | 3 | Indian Institute of Technology Indore | India | 127 | | 4 | [Sun Yat-sen University](https://scholar4ai.com/institutions/sun-yat-sen-university.md) | China | 108 | | 5 | Nanyang Technological University | Singapore | 100 | | 6 | Indian Institute of Technology Delhi | India | 99 | | 7 | [Sichuan University](https://scholar4ai.com/institutions/sichuan-university.md) | China | 97 | | 8 | Dalian University of Technology | China | 96 | | 9 | [Tsinghua University](https://scholar4ai.com/institutions/tsinghua-university.md) | China | 93 | | 10 | [Zhejiang University](https://scholar4ai.com/institutions/zhejiang-university.md) | China | 92 | | 11 | [Harbin Institute of Technology](https://scholar4ai.com/institutions/harbin-institute-of-technology.md) | China | 91 | | 12 | [Xi'an Jiaotong University](https://scholar4ai.com/institutions/xi-an-jiaotong-university.md) | China | 88 | | 13 | [National University of Singapore](https://scholar4ai.com/institutions/national-university-of-singapore.md) | Singapore | 87 | | 14 | [Southeast University](https://scholar4ai.com/institutions/southeast-university.md) | China | 87 | | 15 | Yonsei University | South Korea | 87 | ## Funders *India funders whose papers are cited most, since 2023* | # | Funder | Links | |---:|---|---:| | 1 | Ministry of Education, India | 2,803 | | 2 | Department of Science and Technology, Ministry of Science and Technology, India | 1,264 | | 3 | Science and Engineering Research Board | 1,000 | | 4 | University Grants Commission | 904 | | 5 | Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India | 615 | | 6 | Indian Council of Social Science Research | 479 | | 7 | Ministry of Electronics and Information technology | 308 | | 8 | Indian Institute of Technology Delhi | 183 | | 9 | Indian Institute of Management Bangalore | 175 | | 10 | Indian Institute of Management Calcutta | 155 | | 11 | Ministry of Earth Sciences | 124 | | 12 | Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur | 123 | | 13 | Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur | 115 | | 14 | Indian Institute of Technology Indore | 110 | | 15 | University of Delhi | 106 | ## What papers from India cite *Research funded elsewhere that papers from India cite, since 2023* | # | Funding country | Links | |---:|---|---:| | 1 | [China](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/china.md) | 13,567 | | 2 | [United States](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/united-states.md) | 3,835 | | 3 | [United Kingdom](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/united-kingdom.md) | 2,217 | | 4 | [Spain](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/spain.md) | 1,773 | | 5 | [South Korea](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/south-korea.md) | 1,683 | | 6 | [Germany](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/germany.md) | 1,200 | | 7 | [Australia](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/australia.md) | 1,183 | | 8 | [Canada](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/canada.md) | 1,093 | | 9 | [Japan](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/japan.md) | 793 | | 10 | [Italy](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/italy.md) | 776 | | 11 | [Taiwan](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/taiwan.md) | 727 | | 12 | [France](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/france.md) | 639 | | 13 | [Hong Kong](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/hong-kong.md) | 599 | | 14 | [Sweden](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/sweden.md) | 594 | | 15 | [Brazil](https://scholar4ai.com/supply-chain/brazil.md) | 592 | ## Cite this page Scholar4AI.
