Abstract

This study examines the various profiles, publications, and citations of Tamil Nadu State Universities in the Indian Research Information Network System (IRINS). According to the results of the study, Tamil Nadu has contributed more profiles (21910, 22.02%). Annamalai University has more (1200, 18.84%) profiles contributed (19541, 22.56%) publications and 33 patents than other institutions. The publications of Anna University have received the highest number of (211058, 33.11%) citations from google scholar and (186162, 34.69%) citations from crossref than other institution’s publications. Since the contributions of other institutions are found less in IRINS compared to the top five institutions, it is recommended that the institutions should be encouraged to contribute more to get various academic credentials for both individuals and institutions
