Abstract

This paper details a comprehensive analysis of the National Physical Laboratory's (NPL) publication output from 2000 to 2023, focusing on four key areas: research output and quality, research topics, collaboration patterns, and alternative metrics. In addition, it performs a benchmark study by comparing NPL's publication output with that of major National Metrology Institutions (NMIs) such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the German National Metrology Institute (PTB), the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS), and the National Institute of Metrology (NIM).
To construct the underlying dataset, three prominent bibliometric databases—Dimensions.ai, Clarivate's Web of Science, and Elsevier's Scopus—are queried. A unique list of NPL's publications is generated by de-duplicating Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). The analysis reveals that NPL has published a total of 8,525 papers during the specified period. While engineering and physical sciences, along with chemical sciences, account for the majority of publications, there is a notable upward trend in biomedical and clinical sciences, as well as information and computer sciences, particularly post-2010.
