Abstract
This article presents a study and application of bibliometric analysis in the field of information science as a crucial tool for studying research outputs and managing research data through citation analysis and the linking of information from various research works. The study is divided into several areas, including the basic understanding of bibliometric analysis, tools and techniques used in bibliometric analysis, types of bibliometric analysis, and applications in information science, such as evaluating research performance, citation analysis, and studying the direction of research in this field. The article also discusses the benefits of using bibliometric analysis, such as identifying research trends and assessing the impact of research, as well as supporting decision-making in research and knowledge management. Additionally, it addresses the limitations and challenges encountered when using various tools and techniques and suggests directions for the development of these tools in the future to enhance the effectiveness of bibliometric analysis in information science.
