Abstract: Abstract The article presents an introduction to a newly created scientometric portal called Indian Science Reports, available at www.indianscience.net . The portal is designed to fulfil the need for a single integrated resource for analytical data about research competencies of India at an overall level as well as Indian institutions at an individual level. India’s research performance in terms of research output, citations, highly cited papers, international collaboration, open access levels, gender distribution and social media visibility etc. are computationally analysed using publication metadata collected from Dimensions database. The portal also provides a mechanism to look for research performance of all major Indian higher education institutions, on various standard parameters, through an institutional search. Further, a concept-based search is integrated to identify top performing Indian institutions on a given research topic. The portal, thus, provides an invaluable resource of Indian scientific research data and information, which can be used for various purposes ranging from scientometric evaluation to thrust area-based funding decisions.
