PAPER VISUALISATION · STAGE 1–4 · VISUALISE EVIDENCE
Bibliometrix
R-based toolkit for comprehensive bibliometric analysis and science mapping.
How it can support an SLR
Use a verified seed article or reviewed evidence set to create a map, figure or diagram. Label the source data and method, then check that the visual accurately represents the underlying literature.
Access and features
Open the provider’s official website to check current access, sign-in requirements, institutional availability, and product features. The tool is introduced here through its SLR-relevant purpose; availability and interfaces may change.
Hands-on practice
- Choose one task from your current SLR Stage and open the tool’s official site.
- Use a narrow, non-sensitive example: a research question, one verified seed article, or an approved sample record.
- Try the tool’s relevant search, organisation, analysis, writing or visualisation feature.
- Compare the result with the original article, database record, review protocol or source data.
- Decide what to keep, revise or reject, then record the decision in the relevant Stage worksheet.
Verification: Check the source coverage, export settings, licence and current platform guidance before relying on outputs.
What to record in your SLR
- Tool name and task performed
- Search query, prompt, seed paper or input dataset, where relevant
- Date used and key result or output
- How the result was verified and what you accepted, changed or rejected
Do not report a database search or a screening decision unless you actually performed and documented it.
