This book provides a guide on how to develop a bibliometric study, from the first step in which the topic study has to be set, to the analysis and interpretation. A practical and easy to read guide on how to carry out a bibliometric study. Gives a wide and up-to-date view about the most common scientometric indexes. Analyses are illustrated with multiple and practical examples about their application.
