Bibliometric mapping

Bibliometric mapping is a research technique that analyzes published literature to visualize and understand trends within a specific field of study. By examining citations, authors, and keywords, it identifies connections between different works, showing how knowledge evolves over time. This method helps researchers see influential papers, emerging topics, and the relationships among various authors or institutions. Essentially, it creates a map of the research landscape, allowing individuals to navigate complex information and identify key areas of interest or influence in a particular discipline.
