Bibliometric Analysis is a QGIS Processing plugin for complete bibliometrics and Systematic Literature Review (SLR). It parses RIS and BibTeX files, builds structured bibliometric tables, generates publication trends, top journals, top authors, and top keywords. The plugin constructs keyword and co-authorship networks, performs SLR clustering using TF–IDF with KMeans or Spectral methods, and detects research gaps in Theme–Method–Region matrices and keyword co-occurrence pairs. The plugin also includes automatic country detection from RIS affiliations (C1, AD, C2), adds a 'country' field to Article List outputs, generates Top 10 Countries charts, and optionally creates a world-country point layer using predefined centroids.

About

This plugin provides a complete workflow for exploring and mapping the structure of scientific literature directly from reference metadata. It supports SLR autoscreening, PRISMA-style summaries, keyword trend analysis, Theme×Method and Theme×Region heatmaps, keyword gap scoring (Jaccard or PMI), and generates bibliometric visualizations in PNG. Country-level bibliometrics and geographical layers are automatically generated when affiliations contain identifiable locations. The plugin is designed for urban and regional planning, geography, and spatial sciences, but works for any field using RIS or BibTeX references.
