    TIB and East Asia Department at the TIB
    (Zenodo, 2017) Lu, Linna
    The "2017 International Conference on Integrated Development of Digital Publishing and Digital Libraries (CDPDL)" took place in Taiyuan from August 16-18,2017. This conference provides a platform for Chinese and foreign librarians, publishers and scholars to present the latest developments in Chinese library resources and technical innovations. In the early 1980s, with the growing interest in East Asia through research in academic and industrial fields, the TIB's Regional Department for East Asia was founded as an independent unit. The aim of the acquisition of the Regional Unit is to provide materials that not only provide an overview of current developments in East Asia but also provide detailed, specialized information. In comparison to most Asian departments of other libraries, the TIB's East Asia collection focuses not on Asian linguistics and humanities, but on modern literature in the field of technology and natural sciences. In order to reflect on the current state of research in East Asia and to communicate research and industry, our acquisition focuses on modern periodicals, academic journals and series from scientific and technical associations, reports from universities and research institutes. Exactly these special features were presented to the participants at this year's CDPDL. Many of our colleagues in the branch could thus get to know the TIB and the regional department better, especially in the country and the geographical area in which we have placed one of our main focuses of collection.

    Bibliometric Topic Analysis: Assisting Researchers in Identifying Research Trends and More
    (Reutlingen : Berufsverband Information Bibliothek e. V., 2024) Lu, Linna
    Although academic libraries offer various research-related services, bibliometrics and bibliometric analyses are not as widely used as other services. Current services tend to focus on bibliometrics as a research evaluation tool, although bibliometrics has the potential to offer much more. In today's fast-paced world of scientific publishing, researchers need to be able to quickly and efficiently navigate through vast amounts of information to identify emerging trends and gain research-relevant insights. Bibliometric topic analysis is a powerful complementary method that can help researchers meet this challenge. In this contribution, the methods, concepts, and tools of bibliometric topic analysis are presented and exemplary analyses of selected topic areas are carried out. The results of the analyses are illustrated with visualizations, thereby revealing the complex thematic landscapes, hidden patterns, and future research paths. Through this type of analysis, researchers can gain timely insights into research trends and identify potential cooperation partners, gaining numerous advantages for their research endeavors. Our library offers advisory services on bibliometric topic analysis, with the aim of integrating it into topic-specific research training, thereby significantly extending traditional research methods. We are aware of the potential challenges and limitations of this approach and emphasize responsible use of the associated methods, resources, and implications. The aim is to promote scientific research through the conscientious use of bibliometrics tailored to the specific needs of researchers.
