How Social and Humanities Researchers Conduct Scientometric Studies? Methods, Databases, and Tools

Abstract

The evaluation and measurement of scientific output have become vital for research fields and institutions that shape the realm of science. In scientific assessment and appraisal, it is crucial to recognize contemporary approaches, instruments, and resources and utilize them precisely and dependably. As a specialized area of research, Scientometrics adopts efficient analytical methods and is extensively used to gauge scientific productivity, remaining pertinent in today's world. Nevertheless, the execution of scientometric studies in social sciences and humanities is affected by specific factors inherent to these domains. This study presents a thorough and current insight into the conceptual framework, methodologies, tools, and data sources that can be employed for conducting scientometric research in the social sciences and humanities based on a literature review. The literature review examines performance metrics and analytical methods concerning the software's features. This investigation explores scientometric analyses' methods, tools, and software. Seven free software were evaluated for the design of the scientometric inquiry, in addition to two R programming language packages and three Python programming language packages designed for the same objective. The research emphasizes scientometric analysis techniques, bibliographic databases, and concepts, providing scholars in the social sciences and humanities with a comprehensive understanding of these methods

Sosyal ve Beşerî Bilimler Araştırmacıları Bilimetrik Çalışmaları Nasıl Yürütür? Yöntemler, Veri tabanları ve Araçlar

Abstract

Bilimsel çıktıların değerlendirilmesi ve ölçülmesi, bilim dünyasını şekillendiren araştırma alanları ve kurumlar için hayati önem taşımaktadır. Bilimsel ölçme ve değerlendirmede çağdaş yaklaşımları, araçları ve kaynakları tanımak ve bunları doğru ve güvenilir bir şekilde kullanmak çok önemlidir. Özel bir araştırma alanı olarak bilimetri, etkili analitik yöntemleri benimser ve günümüz dünyasında geçerliliğini koruyan bilimsel üretkenliği ölçmek için yaygın olarak kullanılır. Bununla birlikte sosyal ve beşeri bilimlerdeki bilimetrik çalışmaların yürütülmesi, bu alanlara özgü faktörlerden etkilenmektedir. Bu çalışma, literatür taramasına dayalı olarak sosyal ve beşeri bilimlerde bilimetrik araştırma yürütmek için kullanılabilecek kavramsal çerçeve, metodolojiler, araçlar ve veri kaynakları hakkında kapsamlı ve güncel bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır. Literatür taraması, yazılımın özelliklerine ilişkin performans ölçütlerini ve analitik yöntemleri incelemektedir. Bu araştırma, bilimetrik analiz yöntemlerini, araçlarını ve yazılımlarını incelemektedir. Aynı amaç için tasarlanmış iki R programlama dili paketi ve üç Python programlama dili paketine ek olarak, yedi ücretsiz yazılım scientometric araştırmanın tasarımı için değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma, sosyal ve beşeri bilimlerdeki akademisyenlerin bu yöntemleri kapsamlı bir şekilde anlamalarını sağlamak için scientometrik analiz tekniklerini, bibliyografik veri tabanlarını ve kavramları vurgulamaktadır.
