Description
Summary:Initially started in the arena of business research and management studies, bibliometric analysis has become increasingly popular in the speciality of medical and dental research recently. Bibliometric analysis is proven to be a precious tool in unraveling and visualizing the collective knowledge of scientific literatures and developmental details of recognized fields through the systematic interpretation of extensive amounts of unstructured data. It provides scholars with the ability to obtain a comprehensive overview, pinpoint areas lacking in knowledge, generate novel research philosophies, and apply planned outcomes within the field. Well-executed bibliometric studies can provide scholars with valuable insights, including a broad outline of the research field of interest, identification of research gaps, generation of new research philosophies, and positioning of their contributions. A notable gap exists in the availability of a comprehensive guiding principle for bibliometric analysis in medical/dental research, presenting a notable problem for researchers eager to enhance their understanding of this methodology.
