Abstract
A total of 1082 research publications of 111 faculty members working with Computer Science Engineering departments of four top ranked Indian Institutes of Technology were extracted from their websites and DBLP. Analysis of the extracted publications over a five year period from 2011 to 2015 unravel some important aspects about the research and authorship trends in these institutes of national importance. Study shows that there are huge differences in research productivity in terms number of publications, growth of literature, per capita productivity, etc. in these institutes that were established with the same mandate and are working on same lines. IIT Madras has outperformed the other three IITs in all aspects under study with highest number of publications, production of joint publications and per capita productivity.
