In their own words
Bibliometrix
Bibliometrix is an open-source R tool for quantitative scientometric and bibliometric research. Its analyses include descriptive statistics, co-citation, co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, thematic mapping, and historiographic networks. It works with bibliographic files from Web of Science, Scopus, Dimensions, The Lens, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library; companion R packages add API support for Dimensions, NCBI PubMed, and Scopus. Biblioshiny provides a web interface for people without coding or R knowledge, while the package can also work with other statistical R packages. Biblioverse packages extend the system from data collection to text and content analysis. The openalexR package can bring publication, author, institution, and concept metadata from OpenAlex into bibliometrix structures. Using bibliometrix or biblioshiny requires R. Stable releases are distributed through CRAN, while a daily-updated GitHub beta may contain minor bugs. PubMed exports lack citation and reference-list metadata, preventing citation, bibliographic coupling, and co-citation links. Web of Science and Scopus service access requires a subscription.
