Abstract: | Field bibliographies have a documentary function for their own discipline and thus
constitute a basic workshop for researchers and scientists, and an information source
for educators, students and practitioners. They are a valuable source for bibliometric and
scientometric research because of their relatively high completeness, critical selection of
materials, professional indexing of document contents, and professionally prepared unified sets
of metadata of registered documents. It is assumed that their bibliometric and scientometric
potential increases due to the transfer of traditional (printed) bibliographic lists to the digital
environment. The aim of the study was to determine the usefulness of Polish bibliographies (and
other specialized databases that perform their functions) as a source of data for bibliometric
and scientometric literature analyses. The study covered a dozen or so field bibliographies and
field databases documenting the Polish scientific achievements. The analysis of the content of
available bibliographies and field bibliographic databases allowed for collecting empirical data
and information necessary for accomplishing the research objectives. The research made it
possible to identify the shortcomings of electronic versions of bibliographies and field databases
and to indicate the desired features of these tools, which are important primarily from the
perspective of biblio- and scientometric research. Many of these parameters also increase the
information value of bibliographic databases and may contribute to the status improvement of
the bibliography as an important element of field information systems. |
