An extensive bibliometric analysis of M. K. Gandhi's works
Authors

Abstract
This study aims to provide a systematic mapping of the global scholarly
landscape around Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi by applying established
bibliometric techniques to Gandhi-related publications indexed in Scopus
academic databases. A quantitative research design is adopted, drawing
Gandhi-focused records from sources such as Scopus using topic-based search
strings (e.g., "Mahatma Gandhi," "M. K. Gandhi," and
"Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi"), followed by cleaning, de-duplication,
and standardisation of bibliographic data. Science mapping techniques, such as
co-authorship, co-citation, and keyword cooccurrence networks, complement
descriptive indicators such as publication counts, document types, citation
counts, and h-index. Preliminary patterns from prior Gandhi-focused
bibliometric and citation studies suggest sustained growth in Gandhian
literature, a concentration of output in selected specialised and
interdisciplinary journals, strong contributions from Indian institutions
alongside notable international participation, and diverse subject coverage
from history and political science to ethics, education, and development
studies.
