Mostly the Scopus and Web of Science database are used in Bibliometric Analysis. Is it possible to use bibliometric analysis without these two databases. If yes, what are those? Need your Opinion!
Yes, it is possible to conduct bibliometric analysis without relying solely on Scopus and Web of Science databases. While Scopus and Web of Science are widely used and recognized for bibliometric studies, there are other databases and sources that can be utilized for such analyses. Your choice of databases depends on the scope of your research and the specific field you are studying. Here are some alternative sources:
Google Scholar; PubMed; IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library; Scielo; CORE; Dimensions; DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) ETC. While these alternatives offer a diverse range of sources, it's essential to be aware of the strengths and limitations of each. Additionally, combining data from multiple sources may enhance the comprehensiveness of your bibliometric analysis. Ultimately, the choice of databases depends on the specific objectives of your research and the disciplinary focus.
Md Azizur Rahman Hello
Databases like Dimensions, Pubmed, Google Scholr, Doaj, Cor, IEEE Xplore and etc, also provide you with this information.
OpenAlex through openalexr (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/openalexR/index.html) is also a good choice.
You can use the PubMed, Lens.org, and Dimensions databases for a bibliometric study. PubMed does not provide citations through its main interface or website, but you can download its citations through icite.od.nih.gov/analysis.
