bibliometric
Bibliometrics is a quantitative analysis method used to evaluate and measure the impact of academic literature. It involves counting publications, citations, and other metrics to assess the productivity and influence of researchers, journals, or institutions. This approach helps identify trends in research and can guide funding decisions and policy-making.
The field of bibliometrics often employs tools and databases, such as Web of Science and Scopus, to gather data. Researchers use bibliometric indicators, like the h-index and citation counts, to compare the performance of different scholars or to analyze the growth of specific research areas over time.
