The situation of Sri Lankan is rather exceptional.The Journal of the National Science Foundation of Sri Lanka (JNSF) is the only Sri Lankan journal; indexed by the Journal Citation Report (JCR) from2010.This paper provides a citation network analysis of publications from the JNSF.

The paper analyses the most published authors, most cited articles, uncited articles, most prolific authors, top institutions, collaboration profile of authors, and the nationalities of authors, that are most represented in the journal. 441articles were taken from the primary data source, the Google Scholar using Publish or Perish (POP) software.
