How to Write Your First
Bibliometric Paper

Research Visibility and Impact Center-(RVnIC)
©2020-2024 Dr. Nader Ale Ebrahim
Abstract:
Bibliometric is a method for measuring, monitoring, and
studying scientific outputs in a given area for various purposes,
such as prospecting research opportunities and substantiating
scientific research. Bibliometric is one family of measures that
uses a variety of approaches for counting publication, citation,
co-citation, bibliographic coupling, keyword co-occurrence, and
co-authorship networks. Information technology (IT) tools can be
used to assist the process of searching for relevant scientific
contents, collecting scientific data, and summarizing the results
obtained. Bibliometric paper can be written before writing a
literature review article and at the introduction section of any
research papers. In this workshop, you will get familiar with
“How to Write Your First Bibliometric Paper”.

• Statistically analysis patterns of publication within a specific
research area or body of literature
• Measuring academic and organizational performance based
on several indicators such as number of publications,
number of citations, and collaboration networks
• Analyses the research productivity, top-cited publications,
countries’ scholarly outputs, most frequent keywords and
the trend of publications to quantitatively explore a specific
research area
• Visualize the trends in existing literature and overview
current state-of-the-art topics to help future research

A bibliometric study

• Understanding of patterns
• discovery of regularities, behavior
• Analysis of structures & dynamics
• discovery of connections, relations, networks
• search for regularities - possible predictions
• Discovery of impacts, effects
• relation between entities & amounts of their various
uses
• providing support for making of decisions, policies

1. Collaborate with excellent researchers
2. Choose a good research team
3. Focus on quality instead of quantity.
4. Use recent and relevant references.
5. Avoid obvious errors.
6. Don’t forget story telling style
7. Write clearly, concisely and smartly.
8. Read your paper several times.
9. Target the top journals
10. Follow patterns of well-written papers in your field
Ten tips for improving a research paper quality

1. Prepare the figures and tables.
2. Write the Methods.
3. Write up the Results.
4. Write the Discussion. Finalize the Results and
Discussion before writing the introduction. This is
because, if the discussion is insufficient, how can you
objectively demonstrate the scientific significance of
your work in the introduction?
5. Write a clear Conclusion.
6. Write a compelling introduction.
7. Write the Abstract.
8. Compose a concise and descriptive Title.
9. Select Keywords for indexing.
10. Write the Acknowledgements.
11. Write up the References.
