Bibliometric analysis utilises data mining techniques to capture selected aspects about a set of publications. For instance, researchers can quickly assess how research themes change over time, identify new trends in research, gaps in the knowledge base, assess collaboration patterns, identify key researchers, and other aspects of the research base. Our objective in this study was to identify common aspects of two research areas important to COST Action FP1407: wood modification and environmental impact assessment of wood.
