Abstract

The study explores the network structure of the SheRNI platform. The participation of female researchers in R & D domain is significantly imbalancing because of the gender gap. The women researchers face difficulties, biasness and lack of proper guidance that prevent them from matching the pace of growth in their academic visibility. To restrain this, India furnished a platform called SheRNI managed by INFLIBNET. This platform is linked with another master database storehouse run by INFLIBNET i.e., VIDWAN, which is a premier database of researchers working in different academic institutes. Another platform called IRINS is also connected with the premier database storehouse of VIDWAN, this platform connects researchers from different subject domain of all genders, castes, creeds and others. The SheRNI is also connected with this IRINS project platform. The study utilizes factors of academic visibilities like h-Index, number of citations and selected a sample of top 100 female Indian researchers from different domain. Where Prof Anju Bhasin holds the top place by having h-Index 104. This study assesses the top 200 works of these 100 scientists each, the open access friendliness as well the author position to create a clearcut scenario of the female researcher community of India. This work helps in finding the researchers to meet their interested domain of works and peers at the same time.
