Introduction<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bibliometric analysis is becoming increasingly popular since it explores and analyses a large amount of research data<\/span>. It enables the researcher to explore how the research on a specific subject has evolved over the years. <\/span>Bibliometric analysis is used to discover trends in the performance of journals, articles and research. It is a <\/span>quantitative<\/span><\/a> method that deals with a considerable amount of data, which helps the researcher to advance a field further since it identifies the knowledge gaps and offers an overview of a specific subject<\/span>. <\/span>The advent of databases like Scopus and Web of Science and software like VOSviewer, Leximancer and Gephi has led to the method of bibliometric analysis being conducted more practically<\/span> (Guo,2019).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The primary categories of <\/span>bibliometric analysis<\/span><\/a> techniques are performance analysis and science mapping<\/span>. <\/span>Performance analysis is found in most reviews and is the hallmark of bibliometric analysis. It is descriptive and analyses the research contributions to a research field<\/span>. Various methods of performance analyses are present, the most common being the <\/span>number <\/span>of publications and citations yearly or per research constituent (Fern\u00e1ndez, 2020).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The metrics for performance analysis<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Conclusion<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bibliometric analysis is becoming increasingly popular thanks to the advent of databases and bibliometric software. Performance analysis and science mapping are the two broad categories of techniques for <\/span>bibliometric analysis<\/span><\/a>. Performance analysis is descriptive and evaluates research contributions to a specific field. The most common performance analysis methods are the number of citations and publications yearly or per research constituent.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
