Bibliometric analysis is a systematic study of scientific literature using quantitative and statistical methods. Its purpose is to identify patterns, trends, and impacts within a research field. It helps researchers understand the growth of a discipline, measure the impact of specific publications or authors, uncover collaboration networks, and identify emerging trends and future research directions.

Using Bibliometrix, a powerful set of functions is available for analyzing bibliographic data from major scientific databases such as Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, and Dimensions. This activity is part of the Public Policy Data Analysis Laboratory’s effort to enhance students’ competencies in technology-based data analysis, in line with the evolving demands of modern research.
