Abstract: This article looks at the growth over time of Indian AIDS 
research output based on bibliographic data from PubMed and Web of 
Science. Authorship distribution was examined using Lotka's law. 
Bradford's law of scattering was used to identify core journals. The study 
identifies active institutions and statewide distributions of Indian AIDS 
research output. The yearly analysis of data shows that there is a rapid 
growth of literature from 1992 onwards. Still, in an international sense, 
relative productivity of India is low and requires more focused research 
and development. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
