Sai Abstract: A scientometric analysis of global nuclear fuel research has been carried out for the years from 2000 to 2017 based on various scientometric indicators such as: publication output, prolific authors, collaboration networks of authors, productive institutions involved, the hot research topics and the citation pattern. A total of 7,402 bibliographic records from the Web of Science core collection database were taken as a data source and analyzed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer software. The analysis indicated that half of the publications (4166; 56%) were published in during 2011 to 2017 and the year 2017 had the highest number of publications (679; 9%) and the most significant developments in nuclear fuel research is from USA, France, South Korea and Germany. A significant contribution has been made from Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. Keywords analysis indicated that, spent nuclear fuel, uranium, spent fuel and plutonium are commonly used.

Abstract: The present study on the use of both external and internal grey literature by CSIR researchers shows that technical reports are most used followed by doctoral theses. It was found that engineering and physical sciences laboratories use more internal grey literature than chemical and biological sciences laboratories. These and other findings help is framing content development policy for technical grey literature, framing policies for internal grey literature archiving, designing digital repository framework to archive internally generated grey literature and improve access and devise ways to enhance their visibility and use.

A framework of the human and social sciences from where the concept originated is presented. The history of the studies of information users with the notions of "use studies" and "information behavior", show that the approach of information practices differs. Finally, some recent studies in informational practices are described and discussed.

The emerging methodologies of machine learning, artificial intelligence and data science in conjunction with fuzzy mathematics can be optimally exploited to catalyse development of information bank for research organisations. This knowledge ecosystem can be utilized by the proposed mechanism to accelerate and reinforce interdisciplinary research for R&D organisations and empower them to make efficacious information-driven decisions related to project portfolio selection and proposal funding.
