Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) @ Research - Bibliometric
/ Scientometrics Analytical Tools : SciMAT & BIbexcel
The Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)
model provides interesting tools and processes with which professional can
create, exchange, share and exploit software and knowledge efficiently and
effectively. FOSS can play an important role as a practical instrument for
development as its free and open aspirations make it a natural component of
development efforts in the context of the Professional Development Goals.
Research @ Professional
Research can
be defined as a systematic inquiry to describe, explain, predict and control
the observed phenomenon.
Research is
not only limited to Doctorate Study, teaching faculty can use it to write the
research article and students for their project report.
Bibliometric / Scientometrics Analytical
Tools
Online
web-based bibliographical databases, such as ISI Web of Science, Scopus,
CiteSeer, Google Scholar or NLM’s MEDLINE are common sources of data for
bibliometric research. Many of these databases have serious problems and usage
limitations since they were mainly designed for information retrieval,
rather than for bibliometric analysis. In order to overcome these limitations,
one common solution consists of downloading data from online databases,
cleaning it and storing it in customized ad hoc databases.

For the said there is hands on SciMAT & Bibexcel
SciMAT @ It is
Java based application and compatible in LINUX, windows and other
operating systems. It generates a knowledge base with key parameters
like author, title, publishers, keywords, journal name and references etc. Knowledge
base has sixteen entities like author, document, affiliation etc. It uses SQLite
database to store the knowledge base.
Bibexcel @ It is a great tool for bibliometric and
citation analysis. Developed by Olle Persson from Umea
University, Sweden to assist a user in analyzing bibliographic data.
This is not
well known Software. There are large number of people who are still not aware
of it. There should be proper advertisement to make aware all those who are
still not ware of its benefit
and advantages.
Those who
are interested in doing the Research
in a right way!!!! THEN PLS COME & JOIN US FOR THE SAID WORKSHOP
