G20 Countries' Global Library And Information Science Footprint (2015–2024) A Scientometric Evaluation Using Web Of Science
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Using Web of Science data, this study provides a thorough scientometric analysis of Library and Information Science (LIS) research contributions from G20 countries between 2015 and 2024. The study investigates publication trends, the influence of citations, global networks of collaboration, and new research topics using thorough bibliometric data. Results show that the United States and China are the two main donors to the G20, with notable differences in research output and impact. The analysis pinpoints important clusters of collaboration and theme development in LIS research over the course of ten years. These observations offer insightful guidance for the creation of research policies and strategic global cooperation in LIS. Implications for enhancing research capabilities and filling up knowledge gaps within the G20 framework are discussed in the paper's conclusion.
