The main event was the presentation of material by Lis Setyowati, S.Sos., M.A. He said bibliometrics is one of the research methods used by librarians to observe several things. Some of the points conveyed by the speakers included: research mapping, bibliometric mapping, bibliometric to support research processes (bibliometric mapping for literature search & bibliometric mapping for research topic exploration), and tools. He explained that the bibliometric approach is divided into 2 parts, namely: evaluate and relational. The majority of researchers in the field of libraries often use relational.
