A message from the Journal Manager: Despite its critical role in generating scientific insights, bibliometric research is often undervalued, creating a significant gap in the scholarly publishing landscape. Many journals explicitly exclude bibliometric studies from their aims and scope, leading to a lack of dedicated venues for such work and the underestimation of innovative research that integrates review with quantitative analysis. We firmly believe that rigorous bibliometric papers hold indispensable value in mapping the scientific landscape and uncovering research trends. To fill this critical void, we are proud to introduce the Bibliometric Analysis Journal: Quantitative Science Studies.

Cite Score:
Bibliometric Analysis Journal: Quantitative Science Studies is dedicated to advancing the methodology and application of bibliometric, scientometric, and informetric research. The journal pays special attention to the role of quantitative data in understanding the structure, dynamics, and evolution of science, technology, and scholarly communication.
Its scope encompasses rigorous empirical studies, methodological innovations, and critical reviews on topics such as citation analysis, research performance evaluation, scientific collaboration networks, knowledge mapping, science policy implications, and the impact of emerging technologies on scholarly publishing. Other matters related to the quantitative study of science, including open science practices, research integrity, and the development of new indicators and algorithms, will also be considered.
