        abstract = {The present study aims to assess the research output and scientometric performance of faculty members and research scholars in selected BDU-affiliated colleges. The study is based on 260 respondents selected through convenience sampling. Key variables include publication productivity, indexed journal preference, publication diversity, citation visibility, and scientometric awareness. Cluster analysis identified three respondent groups: low, moderate, and high performance clusters. The findings reveal that the majority of respondents belong to the low and moderate categories, indicating the need for stronger institutional support, publication mentoring, and citation awareness programmes to enhance research visibility and academic performance.},
