Bibliometrics is a set of methods that are used to quantitatively study the impact of: i) research fields, ii) researchers, or iii) scientific papers. Science mapping is one of the main procedures to conduct these studies and it is used to represent the cognitive structure of a research field. By graphically showing the thematic evolution of a research field, it allows the identification of pendent questions or detection of overlooked opportunities in a given research field. Science mapping can be applied to any topic, including computer science, animal science, business, marketing, social work, transportation, etc. Manuel J. Cobo is a professor at the Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Cádiz, Spain, since 2011. His research focuses on Bibliometric, Science Mapping Analysis, Social Network, Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining, and Information Science and he has authored more than 50 peer-reviewed papers where he applies these tools on computer science, animal science, business, marketing, social work, transportation, etc. He and his team developed the open access software SciMAT for science mapping. Participation is free but registration is mandatory at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScTqwGnbK8n5dvaEeAQTq9zjNYnzBrwsmYGYb-G0gR5lMzjtQ/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1.
