Revival of a historic bibliography for a modern bibliographic analysis

Abstract

Conducting a bibliographic analysis on the complete works of an individual has the potential to reveal patterns and themes that are otherwise obscured. Assembling a bibliography for contemporary authors is somewhat straightforward. Searches in relatively few databases, such as Web of Science or Scopus, for STEM fields, can produce a comprehensive list, which might simply need some deduplication. However, the challenge grows as one goes further into the past.
