Official companion repository for the book "Science Mapping Analysis — A Primer with Biblioshiny"
This repository bridges theory and practice for bibliometric research. It provides all the datasets, scripts, and supplementary materials needed to replicate every analysis presented in the book, using the bibliometrix R package and its web interface, Biblioshiny.
The book covers both the methodological foundations of science mapping and hands-on applications, with each chapter structured around a real-world case study.
