This article provides an up-to-date review of software tools and libraries for conducting bibliometric and scientometric analyses. The review is divided into three main categories: general bibliometric and performance analysis tools, science mapping analysis tools, and libraries. The authors describe the features of each tool, including data acquisition sources, performance analysis capabilities, and visualization options. They also compare the tools based on their database sources, pre-processing capabilities, and analysis and visualization options. The article highlights the strengths and limitations of each tool, emphasizing that *Bibliometrix* and its user interface *Biblioshiny* offer the most comprehensive set of techniques and are user-friendly. *VOSviewer* is noted for its excellent visualization capabilities and ability to load and export information from multiple sources. *SciMAT* stands out for its powerful pre-processing and export capabilities. The article concludes by discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each tool, suggesting that researchers should choose the appropriate tool based on their specific needs.This article provides an up-to-date review of software tools and libraries for conducting bibliometric and scientometric analyses.
