Abstract: This study investigates the research productivity of prominent Delhi-based universities ranked in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2023, utilizing scientometric and bibliometric techniques to assess various dimensions of academic output.By analyzing published literature from Delhi Technological University, Jamia Hamdard, Jamia Millia Islamia, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and the University of Delhi, collected from the Scopus database over the last five years (2019-2023), we aim to understand publication patterns, collaborative performance, and citations, productivity and efficiency by applying bibliometric and econometric indicators.Data was processed using Microsoft Excel, with visual representations generated via VOSviewer software.Additionally, faculty size, annual expenditure, and other relevant scores were obtained from NIRF 2023.While Delhi Technological University excels in publication growth (CAGR 26.02%), it faces low citation rates.On the other hand, Jamia Millia Islamia is in fourth place in growth rate and leads in impactful research output with a CPP of 13.31 and an h-index of 111.More than 70% of the papers gained citations irrespective of the university.Per capita and per crore spending exergy reveal that increased spending or a larger faculty size does not correlate with enhanced efficiency.Notably, the econometric results derived from NIRF scores do not accurately represent the efficiency and productivity of the universities.The universities have adopted the open access initiative to varying extents for publishing their research papers.Except for Jawaharlal Nehru University, all other universities have high author collaboration rates, with more than 90% of the works being collaborative.The key terms like "synthesis," "covid," "property," and "control" appear across multiple universities, indicating common research themes and a collaborative focus on specific areas of study across multiple institutions.Computer science is a focal area across several institutions; engineering fields show substantial collaboration, and chemistry, physics, and astronomy demonstrate moderate inter-institutional collaboration.Medicine is a prominent collaborative subject, especially at Jamia Hamdard.
