In the analysis of bibliometric networks, researchers often use mapping and clustering techniques in a combined fashion. Typically, however, mapping and clustering techniques that are used together rely on very different ideas and assumptions. We propose a unified approach to mapping and clustering of bibliometric networks. We show that the VOS mapping technique and a weighted and parameterized...

In this Feature we use automatic bibliometric mapping tools to visualize the history of analytical chemistry from the 1920s until the present. In particular, we have focused on the application of mass spectrometry in different fields. The analysis shows major shifts in research focus and use of mass spectrometry. We conclude by discussing the application of bibliometric mapping and visualizatio...

Science mapping aims to build bibliometric maps that describe how specific disciplines, scientific domains, or research fields are conceptually, intellectually, and socially structured. Different techniques and software tools have been proposed to carry out science mapping analysis. The aim of this article is to review, analyze, and compare some of these software tools, taking into account aspe...

Bibliometric techniques have been introduced to the field of industrial health in the past two decades. Since then, several studies have assessed progression of science in this area using quantitative measures and qualitative measures such as impact factor or H-indices. Since novel procedures such as density-equalizing mapping have not been used so far, the present study combined classical bibl...

In recent years due to the impact of climate change, there was an increased awareness for importance changing our practices. That can be done by integrating circular economy with environmental thinking and initiatives into current systems, which in turn will have role decreasing carbon footprint, measuring up companies profit also motivate competitiveness. Despite benefits implementing saving i...

VOS is a new mapping technique that can serve as an alternative to the wellknown technique of multidimensional scaling. We present an extensive comparison between the use of multidimensional scaling and the use of VOS for constructing bibliometric maps. In our theoretical analysis, we show the mathematical relation between the two techniques. In our experimental analysis, we use the techniques ...

By E. Hassan February 2002 Abstract This paper examines the knowledge structure of the field of space communications using bibliometric mapping techniques based on textual analysis. A new approach with the aiming of visualizing simultaneously the configuration of its scientific and technological knowledge bases is presented. The bibliometric map revealed weak cognitive interactions between scie...

This paper presents an overview of advanced bibliometric methods for (1) objective and transparent assessment of strengths and weaknesses in research performance, and (2) monitoring interdisciplinary scientific developments. In the first application, we focus on the detailed analysis of research performance in an international comparative perspective. We demonstrate that advanced bibliometric m...

This paper demonstrates the application of bibliometric mapping techniques in the area of funded research networks. We discuss how science maps can be used to facilitate communication inside newly formed communities, but also to account for their activities to funding agencies. We present the mapping of EINS as case – an FP7-funded Network of Excellence. Finally, we discuss how these techniques...

This research aims to create a bibliometric map of studies on the use metaverse in education. We used mapping technique from an international viewpoint assess trends area education by disclosing author, publication, keyword, journal, country, and citation factors. Most topic was published Computers Education. Results indicate that Hwang G.J. is most relevant author. National Taiwan Normal Unive...
