This 3-day hands-on experience will equip participants with the skills and knowledge to harness the power of bibliometrics to enhance your research impact. Through a series of interactive sessions and exercises, participants will learn how to collect, harmonize, and analyze data using cutting-edge tools such as MS Excel, OpenRefine, Publish or Perish, VOSviewer, and Biblioshiny. This workshop is specifically designed for journal writing, and by the end of it, participants will have drafted a high-impact journal paper.
