Abstract
Measuring the growth of fields and subfields has been carried out using publication output in different fields. However, not all published literature contribute to the growth of a discipline and thus the publications with impact alone are being used in many recent studies. In measuring subfield growth, general impact is not considered as a suitable parameter. Scientometricians have resorted for subfield impact to study the subfields for observing growth, impact etc. In this study, both general impact of journals in a field (impact factor) and subfield impact (subfield corrected impact factor) are used to measure the growth, size and impact of subfields in life sciences.
