The study examined scholarly research trends in agriculture from 2001 to 2023 using the Web of Science database. The total number of publications across all institutions was 1451; the highest number of records (146) was published in 2023, followed by 132 in 2022. Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient value for TLCS and TGCS is identified (0.9663). The EGR value has not been in a standard position from 2012 to 2023. The mean EGR value is 0.87. The time series values are identified as negative and positive. The average degree of collaboration is impressive at 0.956581. The most prolific author is Kumar A (74 records), and the Centre for Environment Science and Climate Resilient Agriculture, ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, has produced more articles (86). Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment claimed the top spot with 5.65 % of articles, followed by the Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences (5.61%). The study found a positive trend across all ICAR institutes.
