This study is an attempt to comparatively assess the research productivity, performance and impact of SAARC nations with the aid of InCites, an innovative research analytical tool developed by Thomson Reuter. For the period of 32 years (1981 through 2013), India has outnumbered other SAARC nations in terms of research productivity and count of citations received. However, Nepal has the highest no. of average citations per document and has best score of aggregate performance. Sri Lank leads in the proportion of cited documents while Maldives scores high at global relative impact.
