Bibliometric Analysis: From Literature Collection to Results
Plan a bibliometric analysis of a defined literature collection, choose network methods and report results with coverage and interpretation limits.
Learn the methods
Bibliometric analysis guides
Choose a method, define your selected literature collection and interpret its results. These guides support individual research and institutional teams working with a defined collection.
Co-citation vs Bibliographic Coupling
Compare co-citation and bibliographic coupling with the same worked reference example, and choose a method for a selected literature collection.
Keyword Co-occurrence Networks and Thematic Mapping
Read keyword co-occurrence networks and thematic maps: term preparation, thresholds, centrality, density and contextual quadrants.
Literature Discovery and Mapping
Move from research discovery to a defined literature map, distinguishing direct citations from shared-reference and term relationships.
Co-authorship and Research Collaboration Networks
Explore author collaboration in a selected literature collection while checking identity ambiguity, affiliation coverage and counting limits.
AI-assisted Bibliometric Interpretation
Distinguish computed bibliometric results from generated interpretation, review evidence and understand the supported SciMaps AI workflows.
