The steps of bibliometrics analysis and the general principles to be followed are the key points to help scholars write. The concrete steps can be divided into four steps: defining the purpose and scope of bibliometrics research; Select the technology that can be used for bibliometrics analysis; Collect data and make bibliometrics analysis; Run bibliometrics analysis and report the research results.
Step 1: Determine keywords, database and search scope. Methods: How to determine keywords: You can read the meta-analysis articles on related topics. Step 2: Determine the admission criteria for article screening. Operation method: Read the bibliometrics literature on related topics, and determine the subject words and search scope. The first step is screening, you can choose to look at the title and abstract. At this time, you need to bring some document managers. Endnote recommends English, and notexpress recommends Chinese.
Step 3: Determine the final articles and download the full text for intensive reading. Download mode: download or use Baidu Academic directly from various databases. Step 4: Read 5- 10 articles intensively, determine the main contents to be analyzed, and establish an excel table. Note: At this time, more data should be collected to avoid rework because of insufficient data.
Finally, scholars should use bibliometric visualization in graphs and tables to plan and analyze, rather than simply descriptive discussion. The concepts of content and context should also be discussed in writing. When interpreting the results of bibliometrics analysis, it is important to understand the content of each topic group and the importance of the topics of publications in that group.
