Abstract:
This paper tries to capture the recent trends and patterns in research on Economics in India. This is done by examining articles in Economic and Political Weekly (EPW). EPW can be considered as the most popular and accessible journal in the domain of economics in India. Since it’s a weekly it has high frequency of publication. The latest four volumes of the journal are freely made available online, leading to high accessibility and readership. Authors across India publish articles on a wide variety of topics in EPW. Since the scope of the journal is not confined to any particular sub area of economics, examining the trends and patterns of economics research papers in EPW will give a wider view regarding the overall research trends. Higher journal ranking of EPW in indexes like Scopus further bolsters the selection of EPW as a sample for the enquiry. The findings of the same can be fairly generalized to comment on the overall trends on economics research in India.
