Trends in Research Librarianship Literature: A Social Network Analysis of Articles
Özet
The purpose of this article is to identify the bibliometric characteristics of research
librarianship literature and to visualize relationships in research librarianship by means
of social network analysis. It was found out that the majority (66%) of the articles had
single authorship and College & Research Libraries is the prominent actor among the
research librarianship journals. It was also observed that Peter Hernon is the most productive and cited author in the field. The findings of this study can be used by the
research librarianship community to better understand their core literature.
