<i>The present study highlights the authorship trend and</i>

<i>collaborative research in chemistry in India during 1996-</i>

<i>2000.The study found that team research is preferred</i>

<i>in the field of chemistry rather than solo research. The</i>

<i>degree of collaboration is calculated and found to be 0.76.</i>

<i>The degree of collaboration varies from year to year and</i>

<i>is found to be 0.72 to 0.83. Average number of authors</i>

<i>per paper has increased from </i>7.52 <i>to 8.39.</i></smarttagtype></smarttagtype>
