On successful completion of the course/programme, the candidate should be able to:

• Know the major literature review classifications and their expected outcomes;
• Learn about key bibliometric analysis techniques (e.g. co-citation) and tools (e.g. bibliometrix package);
• Reveal the main streams of research and theories of their area of interest (construct, phenomenon, or theory) from bibliometric review;
• Understand the key success factors of publishing a bibliometric literature review;
• Identify research gaps and future research agenda from bibliometric analysis;
• Write a research paper with a goal of submission to a refereed outlet.

This is a course designed for PhD students who wish to better understand their field of research and gaps in the literature.  The course will teach you how to make a contribution to your field based on a bibliometric literature review. Students will be asked to read a variety of published bibliometric articles, review a bibliometric study in a refereed journal, and produce one of their own based on their research interests, to be discussed and approved by the professors. Published professors and editors will guide you through a publishable paper proposal and will help you position yourself as a scholar/researcher in your field.

AFTER LECTURES

Deliverable: Submit to an academic conference/journal,
Deadline: TBD

Teaching in the PhD program is discussion-based and requires students to listen to all lectures, do the exercises beforehand, and deeply read all of the articles before starting with online lectures. Students should identify the contribution of each paper, the methods, the strengths and weaknesses, the data, the conclusion and the ways in which the paper can be extended.

From a student on the EDEN Seminar on Bibliometric Literature Analysis - Janury 9-15, 2020

Great course! Bright professors and students. During the course we also had an opportunity to conduct and present our own research and we got very insightful feedback. I would recommend the course not only to those who are interested  in bibliometric analysis, but also to 1st and 2nd year PhD student who would benefit enormously from bibliometric tools (e.g.  exploration of relevant sources and articles ) even if their focus is not bibliometric analysis itself.
