The publications exhibited an average annual growth rate of 12% and a citation impact of 10% per year. India contributed 1.80% to the global osteoarthritis research output during this period, increasing from 1.41% in 2007–11 to 2.10% in 2012–16. The share of India's international collaborative publications on osteoarthritis research grew from 13.87% in 2007–11 to 20.27% in 2012–16, with an overall share of 18.06% from 2007–16. The majority of India's osteoarthritis research publications during 2007–16 originated from the medical field (69–95%), followed by pharmacology, toxicology, and pharmaceutics (26–01%), biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology (18–56%), immunology and microbiology (3–41%).[1]
