Bibliometrics. 2026

Digital analysis in Rstudio.

In the rapidly expanding world of scientific publications, it has become increasingly difficult to understand how research fields are connected, how ideas evolve, and where innovation is heading. VOSviewer has emerged as a powerful bibliometric visualization tool that helps researchers map scientific literature and uncover hidden relationships within global research data.

In 2026, VOSviewer is widely used for:

• Bibliometric and scientometric analysis • Research trend identification and mapping • Co-authorship and collaboration network analysis • Keyword co-occurrence and topic clustering • Visualization of academic citations and influence

VOSviewer transforms large volumes of academic data into visual maps that reveal how researchers, institutions, and topics are interconnected. These visual networks help identify emerging research areas, influential authors, and collaborative clusters across disciplines.

By analyzing citation patterns and keyword relationships, researchers can better understand the evolution of scientific fields, detect knowledge gaps, and track the global impact of research contributions.

For universities, policy makers, and research institutions, VOSviewer provides valuable insights into academic productivity, collaboration structures, and innovation trends.

As scientific output continues to grow exponentially, tools like VOSviewer are becoming essential for navigating the complexity of global knowledge systems.

Modern research is no longer just about reading papers — it is about visualizing the entire ecosystem of knowledge.

Background: Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by CD8+ T cell-mediated destruction of melanocytes. It affects up to 2% of the global population and has a profound psychosocial impact. Over the past two decades, advances in understanding immunological mechanisms, particularly IFN-γ signaling and JAK-STAT pathway dysregulation, have reshaped therapeutic approaches from…

Now that Clarivate, Google, and Scopus have recently published their respective journal citation scores for 2021, I can now present — for the 14th year running on ConvervationBytes.com — the 2021 conservation/ecology/sustainability journal ranks based on my journal-ranking method. Like last year, I’ve added a few journals. I’ve also included in the ranking the Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) in…

This is the 13th year in a row that I’ve generated journal ranks based on the journal-ranking method we published several years ago. There are few differences in how I calculated this year’s ranks, as well as some relevant updates: As always, I’ve added a few new journals (either those who have only recently been scored with the component metrics, or ones I’ve just missed before); I’ve included…
