Mapping Knowledge: A Workshop on Bibliometric and Scientometric Tools

This interactive pre-conference workshop introduces participants to the foundations and practical applications of bibliometric and scientometric analysis. The session will explore how research output, scholarly impact, collaboration networks, and emerging research trends can be measured, analyzed, and visualized using established tools and databases. Participants will engage in guided demonstrations and hands-on exercises designed to develop practical skills in research analytics.

By the end of the session, attendees will gain a working understanding of how bibliometric tools can support collection development, institutional research assessment, strategic planning, and scholarly reporting. This workshop is ideal for librarians, researchers, research administrators, and graduate students interested in research analytics and evidence-based evaluation.
