Final assessment: Bibliometric Analysis and Systematic Literature Reviews
Pass with 70% or more to unlock your certificate. You can retake it as often as you like; your best score counts.
This assessment covers all eight lessons, from the research questions to the research agenda.
Optional capstone project
Choose a topic from your own field, build and test a search string in Scopus or Web of Science, export the full records and analyse them in Bibliometrics Studio. Produce a PRISMA diagram, the Main information table, a thematic map and one network of your choice, name the clusters, and write a one-page summary with three research agenda questions.
