The present study focuses on the research output performance on nephrology in India from 1994 to 2023 (30 years), using the Web of Science (WoS) database. The study depicts nephrology with special reference to Indian researchers achieving unanticipated milestones through significant contributions to the discipline while enhancing their prominence across the global research community. It also provides a comparative evaluation and performance of various scientometric indices, including the growth, global publications share, Contribution of major productive organizations& countries, contribution of different subject fields, Relative Growth Rate (RGR), Doubling Time (Dt.), Activity Index (AI),Publication Efficiency Index (PEI),Annual Growth Rate (AGR), Annual Ratio of Growth (ARoG), Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), and collaboration from India and also attempt to explore the global trends in nephrology from different dimensions.
