Abstract
This manuscript serves as a follow-up to our previous work, "bibliometric analysis: a few suggestions," where we highlighted key aspects of bibliometric research and offered recommendations for improving its rigor. In this draft, we expand on those ideas and provide additional suggestions aimed at enhancing the depth and scope of bibliometric analysis. By analyzing a few randomly selected bibliometric studies, we identified common practices and gaps in the field, which informed the inclusion of new recommendations not covered in our earlier paper. These suggestions include refining search string definitions, strategies for search field selection, performance indicators for authors, methods for studying thematic evolution, and a few techniques like bibliographic coupling, co-citation analysis, and three-way plots. This manuscript aims to improve the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of bibliometric research practices and contribute to the development of more robust methodologies in this field.
期刊介绍:
Under the editorial leadership of noted cardiologist Dr. Hector O. Ventura, Current Problems in Cardiology provides focused, comprehensive coverage of important clinical topics in cardiology. Each monthly issues, addresses a selected clinical problem or condition, including pathophysiology, invasive and noninvasive diagnosis, drug therapy, surgical management, and rehabilitation; or explores the clinical applications of a diagnostic modality or a particular category of drugs. Critical commentary from the distinguished editorial board accompanies each monograph, providing readers with additional insights. An extensive bibliography in each issue saves hours of library research.
