Academic publications are dramatically growing at fast pace and it is increasingly unfeasible to keep track on all that is being published. Moreover, the emphasis on empirical contributions has resulted in a voluminous and fragmented research streams, and contested field. Nowadays, stand-alone literature reviews are extensively used in various fields for synthetizing findings from previous research, for using effectively the existing base of knowledge and enlarging its boundaries, for providing evidence-based guidelines to practice. Scholars use various qualitative and quantitative approaches to make sense of earlier findings. Among them, bibliometric analysis is a powerful approach to perform systematic, transparent and reproducible reviews, especially with big volumes of data (big data). This seminar has two main goals. The first is introducing all the different types of research synthesis. The second is presenting bibliometric analysis for systematic literature reviews. During the seminar, the PhD candidates will perform a bibliometric analysis.

Abstract
Academic publications are dramatically growing at fast pace and it is increasingly unfeasible to keep track on all that is being published. Moreover, the emphasis on empirical contributions has resulted in a voluminous and fragmented research streams, and contested field. Nowadays, stand-alone literature reviews are extensively used in various fields for synthetizing findings from previous research, for using effectively the existing base of knowledge and enlarging its boundaries, for providing evidence-based guidelines to practice. Scholars use various qualitative and quantitative approaches to make sense of earlier findings. Among them, bibliometric analysis is a powerful approach to perform systematic, transparent and reproducible reviews, especially with big volumes of data (big data). This seminar has two main goals. The first is introducing all the different types of research synthesis. The second is presenting bibliometric analysis for systematic literature reviews. During the seminar, the PhD candidates will perform a bibliometric analysis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
