ANALYZING ASPECTS OF HEALTH INFORMATION THROUGH SCIENTOMETRIC METHODS
Abstract
In this paper, we will investigate the content of WoS within the interdisciplinary field of health information. Purpose of the paper: Analyse Web of Science (WoS) by searching for “Health information”, with the following WoS categories: Information Science, Library Science, Ethics, Education and Biomedical Engineering. We found 1425 results. Data were retrieved and analysed using VOS Viewer. 34 countries collaborate in 9 clusters. We created maps over collaboration, co-authoring, and most used descriptors. Our research showed that the most used terms in publications titles are about the analysis of health information, health literacy and electronic health records, case studies and studies about healthcare and health information technology. Originality/value is the bibliometric model considering the exponential growth of the specialized literature on medical information.
