  • Mapping the open access publications of Indian non-profit organizations over the last 20 years based on OpenAlex insights
    Rima Hazarika, Abhijit Roy, K.G. Sudhier
    Global Knowledge Memory and Communication, 2026
    Purpose This paper aims to present a comprehensive overview of open-access publications by Indian non-profit organizations over the past two decades. The study explores the growth, licensing patterns, citations, authorship patterns and other parameters to understand the scholarly output. Design/methodology/approach The study involves data collection from OpenAlex scholarly catalog. Data analysis uses OpenRefine, a data carpentry tool, to examine and extract various aspects of scholarly output. A total of 89,149 scholarly outputs from 2004 to 2023 were analyzed using statistical and bibliometric methods. Findings The findings revealed a positive publication growth trend, with 57.74% open access. Gold OA dominates, with 69.61% of papers in 2023. Licensing patterns reveal that 63.75% of OA papers have licenses. Most papers have multiple authors, with 24.83% of over ten authors receiving 60.12% of citations. “Medknow” is the leading publisher, and “The Indian Journal of Ophthalmology” tops journals. Contributions from repositories like SSRN and PubMed are significant. The study also examines citation patterns across different OA types and identifies the top 30 research areas, emphasizing “Medicine” as the most prevalent. Practical implications The identified trends and patterns offer valuable insights for policymakers, researchers and organizations to enhance accessibility and impact. This study stresses sustained efforts for transparency and democratization of knowledge in the non-profit sector. Originality/value This study filled a gap in existing research by focusing on Indian non-profits, highlighting their roles and impacts often overlooked in scholarly literature. This study provides insights into the growth of open-access publications and their implications in the non-profit sector.

  • Global perspectives on retracted papers in artificial intelligence and machine learning: a bibliometric study
    Sushree Namita Nag, Abhijit Roy, K.G. Sudhier
    Global Knowledge Memory and Communication, 2025
    Purpose This study aims to provide a complete overview of the rate of retraction in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, including major reasons for retraction, journal analysis, author analysis, citation pattern in retraction and keyword analysis. Design/methodology/approach This research collected 3,456 AI and machine learning retraction publications from the Lens.org database covering the period of 1974–2024. Retraction status and reasons were cross-checked with OpenAlex, Crossref and Retraction Watch. Data fetching was performed using OpenRefine through REST API calls, whereas data visualization was done using VosViewer, Scimago Graphica and MS Excel. Findings This study found a 0.05% retraction rate, with 71.7% published in OA. The papers often continue to be cited, with top-cited papers receiving up to eight times more citations in post-retraction. Retractions were mainly due to error and concern (60.50%), falsification and manipulation (23.21%) and ethical issues (7.09%). Most retracted papers appeared in Scopus-indexed Q1 journals, primarily from Hindawi Limited publisher. China, India, the USA, the UK and Iran had the highest retraction rate, with top authors and institutions frequently affiliated with China. Notably, 32.72% of retracted papers consist of double-authored. Research limitations/implications This study was limited to investigating the rate of retraction articles in the domain of AI and machine learning indexed in Lens.org. Originality/value There were several retraction studies in different disciplines, but no study explores retraction in the domain of AI and machine learning. To bridge the research gap, this study provides a comprehensive overview of retraction in the field of AI and machine learning.
