Abstract:
Research performance in Sri Lanka has increased appreciably during the past few years, both in regard to
relative output of publications and in their impact on the international research productivity. The purpose of this survey, based
on the data recorded in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) database between 2003 to 2017, is to study the research
performance in the Sri Lanka. The 1260 papers published in domestic or foreign periodicals were selected for analysis and
evaluation of the distribution of publications and citations, for the numerical characterization of research performance in Sri
Lanka.
