bibliometric-analysis

bibliometric-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from Abhinavbwj/AEC-Scholar. It costs 116 tokens per session (1,472 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method guide for measuring and mapping research fields from publication data. Bibliometrics counts publications and citations, while scientometrics studies how papers, authors, keywords, and references connect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for co-citation, shared-reference, keyword, co-author, citation, productivity, and thematic-evolution analyses with tools such as VOSviewer, CiteSpace, or Bibliometrix.
Why use it?
It helps turn a large research collection into evidence about influential work, research themes, collaboration, and how a field changes over time.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bibliometric-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Bibliometric & Scientometric Analysis — Method Guide

Bibliometrics quantitatively maps a field's structure and evolution. In AEC it is widely used to frame review papers. Used well it is rigorous; used badly it is "descriptive statistics dressed as insight" — push for interpretation, not just colourful network pictures.

1. Two complementary analysis families

Performance analysis (productivity & impact): publications per year, most-productive/most-cited authors, institutions, countries, journals; citation counts; h/g-index; Bradford's law (core journals); Lotka's law (author productivity). Science mapping (structure & dynamics):

  • Co-citation (of references/authors/journals) → intellectual base / foundational works.
  • Bibliographic coupling (shared references) → current research fronts / active clusters.
  • Co-word / keyword co-occurrence → conceptual/thematic structure & trends.
  • Co-authorship → social/collaboration structure (authors, institutions, countries).
  • Thematic evolution / overlay timelines → how themes rise, merge, fade (CiteSpace bursts; Bibliometrix thematic map quadrants: motor / niche / emerging-declining / basic themes).

2. Workflow

  1. Define scope & query (same rigor as a systematic search — see systematic-review). Bibliometrics is only as good as the export. Document the database, exact query, filters, and export date.
  2. Choose ONE primary database for the structured analysis (Scopus or Web of Science) because citation/ reference metadata is not mergeable cleanly across them; you may report coverage from both. OpenAlex/ Dimensions are open alternatives. Note coverage limits (conferences, books, non-English under-indexed).
  3. Export full records + cited references (Scopus: CSV/RIS/BibTeX with references; WoS: tab-delimited/ plain text "Full Record and Cited References").
  4. Clean the data — this is where credibility is won or lost:
    • Disambiguate author names (initials collisions), unify institution/country variants.
    • Merge keyword synonyms & spelling variants (BIM / "building information modeling" / "building information modelling"; "life cycle assessment" / LCA) via a thesaurus file (VOSviewer supports one).
    • Remove stop-words / overly generic terms.
  5. Analyze with a tool (below). Choose the analysis to the question — don't run all of them by reflex.
  6. Interpret — name and explain clusters, link to the narrative, identify gaps and a research agenda. Validate clusters against domain knowledge (aec-domains); a cluster the field wouldn't recognize is a data-cleaning artifact.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

bibliometric-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository Abhinavbwj/AEC-Scholar (18 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 116 tokens to every session and 1,472 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
