Scientometric Analysis Of Cloning Research

Scientometrics is proves to be ideal for the measurement of science in the absence of any other mechanism. Time and tests have proved the efficiency and economy of scientometrics and its applications. Scientometric studies approach the problem from two aspects namely quantitative and qualitative. The present study aims to map the structure of Cloning research at the global level and from India as well. Cloning is a broader term. Cloning is the copying of biological material to produce identical genetic copies from a single entity, such as genes, cells, or organisms. Cloning research encompasses three categories namely Plant, Animal and Man. Human Cloning has been a controversy and remains banned. Anyhow, results of Plant and Animal Cloning experiments lead to research promoting Human Cloning in the context of Human Healthcare. This book, a part of Ph.D., thesis submitted to Tamil University, Thanjavur explores that studies in cloning research undertaken in future may consider the policies of the National governments and the status of funding to cloning research which is of a controversial nature based on ethical grounds
