The findings of the study reveal that : Out of 2993 papers analyzed, the first nine years of the study period produced slightly more than half of the total research output while the last six years of the study period produced slightly less than half of the University publications. RGR shows a decreasing trend while doubling time shows an increasing trend. Annual Ratio of Growth shows an oscillation throughout the study period. The highest annual growth rate was recorded in the year 2011 (0.58). Among the document types, journal article are found to be the highest followed by reviews. A majority of the documents (1558) had 6-10 pages followed by 687 documents with 11-15 pages. The active research areas of MKU include derivatives (195) and nanoparticles (181) in terms of Keyword Plus. The most used author keywords are Heterogeneous Catalysis (46), x-ray diffraction (36) and 1.3 Dipolar cycloaddition (25).
