Abstract:
To understand the dynamics of research production in Bengali culture between 2020 and 2023, this study employs a range of analytical techniques. Data for this study were gathered using the Scopus database. A thorough and trustworthy database of scholarly publications and citations was made available. This enabled a comprehensive bibliometric analysis, ensuring the precision and applicability of the results. Some of the primary goals include investigating publication patterns, using a linear regression model for future number prediction, analysing temporal correlations, and illustrating worldwide collaboration through reciprocity scores. According to the publishing pattern in the dataset, there is a variation peaking at 44 articles in 2022 and decreasing to 39 in 2023. A forecast of 44.00 and 46.20 articles for the years 2024 and 2025, as predicted by a linear regression model, demonstrates forecasting potential. Correlation analysis reveals a positive relationship between the variables â€œYearâ€ and â€œArticlesâ€; however, this relationship is not statistically significant (p-value = 0.324). Oscillations of Average Total Citations per Article show that the terrain is constantly changing. The top ten countries, on the other hand, in terms of collaboration patterns, reflect substantial international cooperation by demonstrating bidirectional partnership positions. As a result, it also points out salient partnerships and possible impact on research standardisation, among others.
