Abstract

Learning disabilities is a complex and often misunderstood phenomenon that can interfere with a student's ability to learn in certain academic subjects. To gain a better understanding of the development and status of scientific studies in the field of learning disabilities in India, it is necessary to map the literature on learning disabilities in India and compare it to the global context. A bibliometric analysis facilitates the exploration and trend analysis of vast quantities of scientific data. The objective of the present study is to compare the amount of research activity to the growth of scientific literature in the field of Learning Disabilities in India and worldwide. The analysis was done based on the data in Scopus with the term “learning disability”. Globally, the expansion of research in the field of learning disabilities started in 1960s. But, India experienced this type of momentum only a few years after 2000. India lags far behind countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom in terms of scientific production. Psychology in India has more to offer than any other field of study.
