Abstract


This study analyzes research trends in Library and Information Science using a bibliometric approach. Data were retrieved from Google Scholar through Publish or Perish using the keyword “Library and Information Science” within a selected publication period. The collected documents were examined based on publication growth, citation patterns, relative growth rate, doubling time, and keyword relationships. VOSviewer was used to generate network, overlay, and density visualizations to identify thematic patterns and relationships among keywords. The findings show changes in publication productivity over time and indicate a decline in research output in recent years. The visualization results reveal several major keyword clusters related to bibliometric analysis, LIS education, academic libraries, information literacy, artificial intelligence, and research productivity. This study provides an overview of research development and thematic structure in Library and Information Science.

Keywords


Bibliometric analysis; Library and Information Science; Publish or Perish; Research trends; VOSviewer.
