Synopsis

In an era when a new scientific article appears every six seconds, researchers face an ocean of information that threatens to drown relevance in redundancy. Bibliometrics as a Pilot in the Storm of Open Science is both a manifesto and a practical guide for navigating that vast sea of data.
Far from being a luxury, bibliometrics has become an essential instrument of intellectual survival. As science embraces transparency, open access, and reproducibility, responsible metrics stand as the guardian of academic integrity. This book provides a critical and ethical framework aligned with the Leiden Manifesto and DORA, enabling researchers and students to evaluate scientific impact beyond journal rankings.
Structured as a methodological expedition, the work progresses from theoretical foundations to applied analytics using tools such as VOSviewer, Bibliometrix, and Google Colab. It offers replicable protocols for mapping co-authorship networks, detecting citation patterns, and measuring social impact.
Written in an accessible, rigorous style, this book empowers two key audiences: researchers seeking to demonstrate the real influence of their work, and students beginning to chart their academic path. Bridging technical precision, ethical reflection, and critical thought, it transforms bibliometric analysis into a navigational art for the open science era.
