Abstract [en]

As part of a postdoctoral research project at Karlstad University, we have developed a bibliometric tool called Bifrost. Written in the R programming language, Bifrost retrieves bibliographic data from DiVA (individual local repositories or nation-wide) and SwePub; analyses and presents the results in interactive web pages. Although it was originally designed to address fields of research—such as subject didactics—that do not neatly fit into established bibliographic categories, Bifrost has demonstrated a much broader potential. For an example of a Bifrost-generated report, see https://bifrost.kau.se/forskning/amnesdidaktik/rel/religionsdidaktik.html. We are now considering making Bifrost publicly available. In this presentation, we will introduce the tool, demonstrate the bibliometric reports it produces, and, if there is interest, discuss the underlying code. Additionally, we will explore its broader applications and potential for public release, and invite discussion on its future development.
