• INIS DVDs are made available to scientists & engineers of BARC through ‘Saraswati’, the campus-wide Local Area Network.
• Demo-Cum-Training on INIS Database to BARC Scientists and Engineers.
• Distribution of INIS Brochures and promotional materials at conferences.
• Arranging INIS DB demonstration at various conferences.• Nita Bhaskar, INIS Section, India
had been deputed as instructor for
training programmes on setting up

Timeliness of the INIS Database
Top 20 Highly Productive Countries in Nuclear Science and Technology
Among the Indian nuclear scientists & engineers working on thorium, 64.63% are DAE Community and rest of them are from IITs, Universities, Colleges and other scientific institutions.Timeliness is a big concern on Indian inputs. An extensive study on the Timeliness of the whole INIS Database is carried out. The paper is in press of International Journal of Nuclear Knowledge Management .
India’s rank among Asian countries is 4

Publications on Thorium in INIS Database Indian Publications on Thorium in Journals
• The period between 1980-89 saw leap in publications world over.
• India’s contribution in this decade is an impressive 17.9% of the world contribution
• In recent years, however, there has been a resurgence of interest in the use of thorium for a modernized version of the nuclear fuel cycle hence a climb in publications.

Challenges and Concerns
9
•Collection of literatureo Conferences
o Journal (print/online/open sources)
o Books/Monographs
o Technical reports
•Timeliness 28.56 % of India’s last 10 years inputs are sent in the same year of their publication year and rest of the 52.57% have only a maximum of 12 months delay
•Accuracy (Confidence level 99.0%)
•Database Usage Statistics (Data from Local Intranet Servers)
• Staff training is needed especially assigning several categories and keywords
•DVD v/s On-Line version of the database
Records with partial information is found in DVD version but is available in On-Line version
•Document delivery and requests

Future Prospects
10
• Expand avenuesPromotional programmes at various research centers, universities etc.
• Selective Dissemination of InformationSenior scientists & engineers working on reactor engineering, waste management, materials production and development etc.
• INIS DB Demo at conferences/symposia
• INIS DB Usage Survey – questionnaire
• Advertisements in various conferences proceedings (DAE-BRNS)/journals/magazines
