Bibliometrics or scientometrics related research is generally divided into two categories. Firstly, comprehensive research includes all aspects, such as authors, countries, publications, references, keywords and so on. Secondly, single aspect research that citation analysis of references or co-word analysis of keywords. Sometimes, scholars will conduct comprehensive research and publish papers when there has been some single aspect research, because they think that comprehensive research is a vacancy in the field. Some reviewers think that comprehensive research is very comprehensive and detailed, which is a good job. At the same time, some reviewers think that the comprehensive research is too long to find the focus and ask why the author doesn't focus on one aspect?

So the question is, how do we treat and solve such different opinions when we are doing bibliometrics or scientometrics research?
