Abstract: The study is based on the journal publications generated by the 
Nuclear Science Centre (NSC) [now known as Inter University Accelerator 
Centre] and the, Accelerator Group at the Tata Institute of Fundamental 
Research (TIFR) during 1997-1999. The data was collected from the annual 
reports of the two institutions and analyzed using scientometric tools and 
techniques. The impact was examined with the help of Science Citation 
Index (SCI). The analysis highlights yearly output, publication in 
national or international journals, number of papers in SCI-journals and 
non-SCI journals, normalized impact factor (NIF) per paper, category-wise 
distribution of papers in different NIF ranges, the proportion of high NIF 
papers, papers above the average NIF. NSC is a facility exclusive for 
accelerator research and its Annual Report gives clear indication of the 
different specializations, hence the data for NSC is further analyzed in 
three subdivisions of nuclear physics, materials science, and radiation 
biology and others. However, such an analysis for TIFR was not attempted 
due to the lack of such information in its Annual Report. From the study 
one can have an idea about the performance and impact of the research 
conducted in the two institutions.
