Core Tip

Core Tip: In contemporary times, a substantial escalation in the accumulation of knowledge occurs annually. The assimilation and rendering of this newfound information are imperatives. Tools and technologies such as data storage solutions and advanced analytical techniques are being cultivated to manage and harness this voluminous data effectively. Ultimately, they can ameliorate decision-making processes and engender novel strategic paradigms. One of the remedies to address this predicament is encapsulated within bibliometric analysis. This method facilitates a macroscopic literature analysis and furnishes researchers with a projection. It is frequently employed to trace scientific outputs' attributes and evolutionary trajectories. Within the scope of bibliometric analysis, various distinct applications are encompassed. Among these, science mapping is one of the most frequently referenced fundamental applications. Science mapping is the visual and analytical examination of subjects within scholarly inquiry. Through scientific mapping, the subdomains of a scientific discipline, interrelationships among them, trends, and influential researchers and institutions can be dissected and scrutinized.
