A Scientometrics Research Perspective in Applied Linguistics, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

This volume explains how scientometrics can be used in understanding the research studies in applied linguistics and will assist applied linguists to examine different aspects of the research performed in their field. The book covers a diachronic and synchronic empirical analysis of research practices, concepts, and phenomena in applied linguistics. It builds upon the ideas and experience of international researchers and provides the reader with creative methods to apply the scientometric principles in their applied research. Aimed at emerging applied linguistics researchers, researcher-practitioners, and MA and PhD students, this book provides a wealth of research ideas for further analysis, to strengthen the knowledge of the field, and to help digest research practices, research publications, research trends, research policies, and research methods. The book will also be useful for the well-established applied linguistics researchers who are interested in a reconceptualization of the field.
