Abstract

The concerned study invariably presents the key findings of the scientometric analysis of Solar Cell Research (SCR) in the specific context of Africa and India. The outstanding contributions explicitly delivered by the successful collaboration of African and Indian authors are satisfactorily accounted for in specific terms of published author, year-wise, research area, funding agencies, published citations, and h-index. The necessary data for the needed research was retrieved from the Web of Science from 2009–2018. The raw data was further analysed and properly presented using MS Excel and VOSviewer as the keyword network tool. An aggregate number of scholarly publications in the global scenario at 117,605, Africa and India typically contributed 2,932 and 7,848, respectively. Joint research of 92 academic journals, receiving citations of 1,348, was usually observed. The highest source of 394 (29.23%) was received overwhelmingly in 2018. Out of the 652 published authors contributing constructively to the remarkable collaboration, H. C. Swart, of the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa, contributed 14 publications, allegedly giving a 2.147% of the total count. This is followed by V. Kumar of the Indian Institute of Technology New Delhi (India); UCA (France); UFS (South Africa), which also contributed 12 publications measured at 1.84% of the total count of publications.
