Workshop description:
Date: 9th September, 2020
Time: 8:00am – 9:30am (AEST)

Vosviewer is a new software tool that can be used to generate, visualize and analyze bibliometric networks. These networks include research authors, journals, institutions and individual publications. Through Vosviewer, these networks can be visualized at speeds and scales that are infeasible using manual methods or legacy software tools. Vosviewer also has text mining capabilities that can construct network maps of co-occurring keywords sourced from abstracts and bodies of research articles. In this workshop, we walk you through how to conduct a complete bibliometric analysis using Vosviewer. We then provide an example of how to use this analysis to write a bibliometric research article for journal submission.
Workshop outline below – please follow the instructions to download and install the software, and watch the quick YouTube video prior to the workshop.

Bio – Andrew Park:
Andrew Park founded and sold a successful software startup that grew to over 100 employees, with offices in British Columbia and Washington State. He then returned to academia at SFU Beedie where is a PhD candidate conducting research in innovation and entrepreneurship with a focus on healthcare and digital technology. He is currently investigating how Open Innovation mechanisms impact value creation of firms emerging in the intersection of software and biotechnology. He has been published in interdisciplinary journals such as Research-Technology Management, Business Horizons and the Journal of Medicine & Philosophy spanning the diverse fields of medicine, biotechnology, digital innovation and management. Andrew is also part of a national network of innovation scholars (4POINT0) evaluating innovation ecosystem models that accelerate the trajectory of Science & Technology innovations to foster strong economic development in Canada. Finally, he recently co-founded another software startup that aims to decentralize and improve access to personal health data. He holds a BSc. in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry and a Management of Technology MBA from Simon Fraser University.
