The article "Bibliometric Methods in Management and Organization" by Ivan Zupic and Tomaz Cater aims to develop a comprehensive reference for scholars interested in using bibliometric methods to map research specialties. Bibliometric methods, including citation analysis, co-citation analysis, bibliographical coupling, co-author analysis, and co-word analysis, introduce objectivity and rigor into the evaluation of scientific literature by aggregating multiple scholars' opinions. The authors provide a workflow for conducting bibliometric studies and demonstrate its application through a citation and co-citation analysis of the *Organizational Research Methods* journal. They emphasize that bibliometric methods complement traditional review methods like meta-analysis and structured literature reviews, offering a systematic and transparent approach to reviewing and evaluating scientific literature. The article also discusses the limitations of bibliometric methods and suggests that they are particularly useful for identifying subfields and understanding the structure and dynamics of scientific fields.The article "Bibliometric Methods in Management and Organization" by Ivan Zupic and Tomaz Cater aims to develop a comprehensive reference for scholars interested in using bibliometric methods to map research specialties.
