In India's rapidly expanding digital landscape, science journalism plays a vital role in connecting scientific advancements with the general public. This study examines the evolving role of libraries in enhancing science journalism within Digital Bharat, highlighting their potential to empower communities with scientific knowledge. Utilizing a qualitative approach, including literature reviews and analyses of both historical and current science journalism practices, the research identifies a significant gap: science journalism constitutes only 3% of content across print, TV, and radio. The findings indicate that despite India’s impressive scientific and technological progress, there is a notable deficiency in effective science communication. Libraries emerge as crucial institutions that can address this shortfall by leveraging their resources and digital capabilities to broaden the dissemination of science content. The study highlights libraries’ role in combating misinformation and promoting accurate science journalism across various digital platforms, and advocates for their involvement in science education by providing accessible and reliable content. This research is original in its focus on the intersection of libraries and science journalism within Digital Bharat, proposing a model for libraries to enhance science communication. It advocates for a collaborative approach, where libraries, supported by digital media, play a key role in advancing science journalism and supporting a scientifically informed society.

The investigation examines the academic output from India between 2010 and 2020, emphasizing the increase in research activity, prolific institutions, sub-disciplines, and the leading journals in microbiology. Data for this analysis were collected from Scopus-Expanded using the search terms "Microbiology in India," "Molecular Biology in India," and “Immunology and Microbiology in India” for the specified years of 20102020. A total of 14,616 records were gathered for this research. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Chandigarh ranked first with the highest publication count (339). Medicine emerged as the leading subdiscipline, followed by Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Immunology, and Microbiology. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India, was responsible for funding the most publications in this area, taking the top spot among funding bodies. The Journal of PLOS ONE was identified as the most favored journal for researchers in this domain, with Scientific Reports following closely. Read More Read Less
