Bibliometrics for studying polar research
Bibliometrics and scientometrics, the quantitative study of scientific and publishing activity, is a rapidly growing field. It can offer valuable insights into how scientific activity is structured, and the way knowledge develops over time. However, the application of bibliometric approaches to pola...
