N2 - The staggering growth of published data emphasizes the importance of reliable bibliometric/scientometric metrics when analyzing a research field's or researchers' performance as qualified by their research output. Bibliometric/scientometric analyses are widely employed nowadays and have become common tools e.g., for systematic literature studies that evaluate scientific progress, future trends or the identification of research gaps. Such analyses may use statistical methods to analyze publications, books, articles and other resources regarding scientific content, quantity and sometimes quality (Waltman, 2016; Montazerian et al., 2017).
