Bibliometric analysis

Bibliometric analysis is the application of statistical methods to the study of publication data.

What is a bibliometric analysis?

Bibliometric analysis is the study of publication data. By analyzing patterns in factors such as productivity (i.e.,number of publications), contributors (e.g., authors, institutions,countries/territories, funders) and impact (i.e., author ordinality, recency of output), bibliometric analysis provides insight into the intellectual structure of a specific domain in the extant literature, revealing the influence and productivity of researchers as well as research trends, significance and gaps.

Bibliometric analysis is the keystone of scientific landscaping, which is the mapping out of the current state of research, including key topics and emerging trends, as well as the relationships between different areas of study.

Bibliometric analysis is a core component of VISFO’s Helix service offering, underpinning our scientific landscaping service. Click here to find out more.
