Steps of bibliometric analysis.

1.Gather information from the Web of Science database.
2.Pre-processing. Unify elements and clean the database. Part of the process consists of unifying duplicates, authority control, set periods of analysis. Not all software allows you to do this pre-processing of the data. It would need several iterations of searches in WoS with Boolean operators to reduce the search to specific articles on the topic.
3.Choose normalization and visualization measure: In Scimat the Equivalence index is used by the software's author recommendation. In Citespace, we used Cosine as link strength as a default setting. In VOSViewer we used total link strength because it depicts better the relevancy of the units studied for our research purposes.
4.Extraction of the specific network (co-occurrence of words, authors, countries, organizations; bibliographic coupling of authors references; co-citation of authors and reviews)
5.Analysis and interpretation of data: discover thematic network and evolution of term over the time.
