These technologies connect the digital and the physical world and make it possible for ILRCs to provide engaging, interactive, and tailored learning experiences. In this paper, the authors discuss how ILRCs are becoming places where innovations, inclusivity, and engagement are visible and how these technologies have the potential to improve educational services, engage the community, and increase access to resources despite the challenges that include high costs and limited access. Also, a SWOT analysis is given to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of immersive technologies in the ILRCs context. Some directions for future research are also given to focus upon. This paper presents a conceptual framework within which ILRCs can plan the integration of immersive technologies in the transformation of information access and learning in the future.

Abstract: The present study focuses on the research output performance on nephrology in India from 1994 to 2023 (30 years), using the Web of Science (WoS) database. The study depicts nephrology with special reference to Indian researchers achieving unanticipated milestones through significant contributions to the discipline while enhancing their prominence across the global research community. It also provides a comparative evaluation and performance of various scientometric indices, including the growth, global publications share, Contribution of major productive organizations& countries, contribution of different subject fields, Relative Growth Rate (RGR), Doubling Time (Dt.), Activity Index (AI),Publication Efficiency Index (PEI),Annual Growth Rate (AGR), Annual Ratio of Growth (ARoG), Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), and collaboration from India and also attempt to explore the global trends in nephrology from different dimensions.

Ramesh Abstract: Objective. This study aims to analyze global cyber security research using various scientometric indica- tors for 25 years, from 1999 to 2023. Design/Methodology/Approach. The study used the Web of Science international citation database to retrieve a total of 5,640 records. The records were extracted in the CSV file format and further ana- lyzed using an MS-Excel spreadsheet, VosViewer, and Biblioshiny software.. Findings. The findings revealed that a 300% annual growth rate was recorded for the publications in 2002. The USA emerged as the top contributor (31.15%) among the countries. The authors affiliated with the State University System of Florida have more publications (107 contributions). Authors Lingfeng Wang of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Kim-Kwang Raymond Choo of the University of Texas at San Antonio have contributed the equal and highest number of (21) papers.. Originality/Value. Cyber security research helps to guardian the individual or nation’s digital sover- eignty, protecting it against sophisticated cyber threats and potential attacks. The discipline has become the subject of global research. This study helps cyber security experts, software or web developers, and researchers identify the primary research evidence and its impact on the research community and poli- cymakers for evidence-based policymaking to combat invisible global threats.
