Abstract
The Scientometrics Analysis of Research Output performance of Malaria research literature is an important aspect of the present study. Scientometrics studies are used to identify the pattern of publication, authorship, citations and secondary journal coverage in the hope such regularities can give an insight into the dynamics of the area under consideration. During 2003-2007 a total of 15685 papers were published by the scientists in the field of malarial research. The average Number of Publications produced per year was 20%. The highest number of publications 3731was produced in 2006. The most productive author is White N J with 136 papers dealing with malarial research and 0.9% of all papers published in this research field. The highest number of publication is accounted to 11758 (74.96%) Vs LCS 44000 as Articles and lowest is as Bibliography - 1 Vs LCS 0. The highest number of publication is at USA and lowest number of publication is at West Indis (Assoc.St.).
