  abstract = {This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric and altmetric analysis of Chemical Science research
produced at Kuvempu University between 1992 and 2023, utilizing the Dimensions.ai database. It aims to
evaluate publication productivity, citation impact, and the digital footprint of scholarly outputs beyond
traditional metrics. A total of 1,180 publications were retrieved and analyzed for citation patterns, coauthorship
networks, and Altmetric Attention Scores (AAS). Descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and
Shannon entropy analyses were employed to assess online visibility and the diversity of engagement.
The research output accumulated 22,412 citations, averaging 19.01 per publication, with journal articles
constituting the vast majority (1,127). Leading journals in citation impact included the European Journal of
Medicinal Chemistry and the Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry. Altmetric analysis of the top ten articlesrevealed that online engagement is overwhelmingly concentrated within academic readership platforms,
notably Mendeley (94.1% of interactions), rather than public or media channels. However, geographical
analysis of tweeting activity demonstrated high international diversity, with India contributing the largest
share (31.71%). Additionally, 31 patent mentions indicated measurable research translation.
The findings demonstrate that while traditional citation impact remains substantial, altmetric indicators
provide crucial complementary insights into research visibility. The study highlights the need for enhanced
science communication strategies to broaden societal and policy level engagement alongside sustained
academic influence.},
