Dear Sri Sachin S.

Thanks for your post. Your topic, as it seems, is promising but as I understand,Material Science being interdisciplinary in nature, is a rather vast area for Scientometric Studies especially you put emphasis to various categories like Glass & Ceramics, Nanomaterials, Biomaterials, Carbon etc.etc. etc. In case desire to restrict your work with certain prefixed Key words for database searches,I personally feel that you should mention it on the very onset of your work describing the scope & limitation of your work. Next, you may incorporate a time frame according to database searching. As I understand, even before publication of SCI, & CA, there were several extremely important studies/research from India which fall under the purview of the proverbial  "Materials Science"

So I presume that it is rather safe to incorporate a time frame for your study!

By the way, I have made the above statements on the basis of a work which really mean Scientometric Studies. Alternately, there are plenty of works which have extremely impressive words in the title but with little material within the study itself. For example I have come across several articles & theses topics with the words Citation analysis of .... .." but i have observed that they are nothing but studies of just "referencing patterns"

I am sorry, for the last paragraph of my post, but my experience is so perturbing that, I could not help mentioning it.

Good Luck for your research endeavour.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
