Scientometrics Analysis Using VOSviewer

Course Title: Mastering Scientometrics Analysis with VOSviewer: A Practical Guide for Researchers

Course Description:

Scientometrics is the study of measuring and analyzing scientific literature to understand the development and trends within various research fields. By utilizing quantitative methods, Scientometrics enables researchers to map, visualize, and evaluate the progression of scientific disciplines and research performance.

In this comprehensive course, you will gain a deep understanding of Scientometrics and how it can enhance your literature review process. The focus of this course is on the practical application of VOSviewer, a powerful software tool designed to create and explore maps based on network data. VOSviewer enables you to visually represent relationships between research topics, authors, journals, and more, providing valuable insights into the structure and evolution of scientific fields.

This course is tailored for researchers at any stage who wish to improve their literature analysis skills. Whether you are just starting your research project or aiming to gain deeper insights into the dynamics of a specific research domain, this course will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the key concepts and purpose of Scientometrics.

• Use VOSviewer to analyze and visualize scientific literature relevant to your field of study.
