Bibliometric Analysis and Visualization

Bibliometric analysis is a group of quantitative methods for evaluating and analyzing scientific literature, publications, and research trends.
Bibliometric analysis can be used for:

• Assessing the quality and significance of published literature
• Analyzing citation patterns and impact 
• Discovering patterns of collaboration among researchers
• Evaluating the impact of publications, authors, institutions, and countries
• Identifying relevant literature, research trends and emerging topics,
• Mapping the intellectual structure of a research domain
• Providing a comprehensive overview of a research field
• Supporting decision-making in research management and policy-making

Bibliometric analysis offers advantages over traditional reviews by providing a quantitative summary of a research area, often presented through visualizations.
