Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this research is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of research output in the fields of Global Library and Information Science (LIS) on Scopus database for the period (2021-2023) using the Bibliometrix-R program. Additionally, it aims to measure the impact and popularity of academic publications through Altmetric.com. The study revealed a total of 2,056 relevant research articles, with the highest research output coming from the United States. Wuhan University emerged as the leading institution in terms of research output in LIS. When assessing the popularity of publications on social media, Mendeley ranked highest, followed by other platforms like news outlets and X users. The bibliometric analysis conducted in this study contributes to a better understanding of trends and contextual factors influencing research dissemination and citation patterns. Notably, it aids in promoting collaboration and understanding the impact of research by measuring the outcomes. The research trends identified during the three-year period include topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data, Research trends, Diversity, Data mining, Online learning, and Public libraries. An important aspect highlighted is the support for collaborative citation practices to strengthen cooperation in disseminating LIS research. Lastly, Altmetric analysis serves as a novel approach to identifying research discussions in academic circles that deserve attention in future studies within the field of LIS and other related disciplines.
