Bibliometrics is the study of publications generated by scientific research. Despite its known limitations, bibliometrics can be of great use in the assessment of health sciences, ultimately contributing to better research planning. More than 30 years ago now, López Piñero and Terrada introduced the first bibliometric studies in Spain. Since then, interesting analyses have been conducted of Spa...

This study aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis of terroir and explore its conceptual horizons. Advancements in research until 2022 were investigated using the Scopus database, R, VOSviewer. Out 907 results, most prevalent document types articles (771) reviews (70). The annual growth rate published manuscripts this field was 7.8%. on encompassed wide range disciplines, with significant cont...

The purpose of this paper is to identify the most influential publications addressing B2B branding, and based on their contributions, tentatively propose a framework of business-tobusiness (B2B) branding. We use bibliometric methodology, exploring some of the most cited B2B branding literature, in order to discover the determinants and benefits of a strong B2B brand. Analysis of the selected pu...

Scientometrics and bibliometrics are being forced to respond to a strong increase in demand (e.g. research assessment practices, economics of science & technology, and innovation) and new forms of supply (e.g. availability of publication sources and statistics, Internet developments and online tools). This situation results in contrasting perspectives: on the one hand, it can favour spectacular...

The Open Access movement in scientific publishing and search engines like Google Scholar have made scientific articles more broadly accessible. During the last decade, the availability of scientific papers in full text has become more and more widespread thanks to the growing number of publications on online platforms such as ArXiv, CiteSeer and Public Library of Science (PLOS). In this context...

Today, it is not clear how the impact of research on other areas of society than science should be measured. While peer review and bibliometrics have become standard methods for measuring the impact of research in science, there is not yet an accepted framework within which to measure societal impact. Alternative metrics (called altmetrics to distinguish them from bibliometrics) are considered ...
