Abstract
The present study deals with the scientometric analysis of the BRICS countries’ research output in the area of pharmacy and pharmacology on the basis of publications as indexed in the Web of Science, a multidisciplinary database. The parameters used for the analysis of the research output include authorship and collaboration pattern, citation distribution, publication activity, Relative Growth Rate and Doubling Time. The study reveals that China has exhibited a significant increase in its publication activity during the period. The reason may be that China’s rise in its Research and Development (R&D) expenditure and the practice of utilitarian governance is at institutional as well as at national level.
