The total records published during this study period [2001-2016] 20615 publications. The outcome of this analysis combined together and provided as a result by the use of Scientometric’s statistic and mathematical methods. When the researcher provides the comprehensive classification by using the research indicator, the major responsibility can hold by the quantitative studies.
