N1 - Funding Information:
Department of Biotechnology University Grants Commission Council of Scientific and Industrial Research Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences Indian Council of Agricultural Research Department of Science and Technology Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Ministry of Earth Sciences Ministry of Human Resource Development (Presently, Ministry of Education)
Funding Information:
Evidence-based research evaluation is gaining importance to support various objectives for institutional and researcher analysis and healthy grant application review. There are various methodological measurements and bibliometric assessment of performance. A pattern of funding success data study on Canada’s Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) individual research grants (Discovery Grant) program (2011–2014) has expressed the importance of subject-specific review and the importance of avoiding bias in the allocation of research funding. They have emphasized the importance of bibliometric measures and subject-specific reviews in restoring confidence in the objectivity and fairness of science funding decisions23.
Funding Information:
On examination of data through funding acknowledgment analysis, the top 10 funding agencies in terms of the number of publications were found to be the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Department of Science and Technology (DST), Department of Science and Industrial Research (DSIR), Department of Biotechnology (DBT), University Grants Commission (UGC), Ministry of Coal, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences, etc. (Figure 1).

N2 - Fourteen Indian research funding agencies have been studied to know their impact on research in India. Natural Language Processing (NLP) was used to segregate and identify the funding acknowledgment from data available in Scopus. SciVal, an analytical tool was used to analyze the data. Tableau software was used to visualize the analyzed data. The impact of 10 years of funding by the 14 funding agencies reveals the consistency of publication output. The number of funded publications addressing the 16 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is very few. The study result indicates the need for a policy change among funding sponsors while considering the high priority areas. It highlights the necessity of considering 16 SDG while funding. The outcome of this study can be used for policy discussions in the promotion of Industry-Institutional collaborative funding and research and policy changes in funding the high priority areas of 16 SDGs in promoting collaborative research and infrastructure.
