With ever expanding and diversifying research, and more academic publications, bibliometric reviews have become an useful tool to explore and map literature. These types of reviews focus on the who, where and what topics have been examined, and can assess thousands of publications to determine research themes and changes over time. Bibliometric analysis of literature is an efficient way to gain an overview of a specific topic. https://events.griffith.edu.au/18Qaga

Bibliometrics can provide context for narrative literature reviews, systematic quantitative literature reviews or meta-analysis, as it is less constrained by the volume of publications (it can assess 100 - 10,000+). These methods include systematically searching the literature using interactive queries via online databases to identify relevant publications that fit specific criteria and analyzing readily available publication metadata in VOSviewer (www.vosviewer.com) such as year, journal, authors, author affiliations including country, as well as keywords and the underlying literature.

VOSviewer is a freely available software tool for constructing and visualising bibliometric networks.

It can also be combined with a Leximancer text analysis of titles and abstracts to provide quantitative and qualitative approach providing an overview of the literature.

This workshop will provide an overview of bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer.

Suitable for all researchers and early candidature HDRs either before or during preparation of a literature review.
