Bibliographic coupling and conceptual similarity: are the bibliographically coupled papers also conceptually similar?

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: This study attempts to empirically asses this notion. This study attempts to overcome these issues by using the ‘concepts` field from the Dimensions database.[3] This study attempts to answer the following research question: RQ: Do the research papers with higher bibliographic coupling also show higher conceptual similarity and vice-versa? Although bibliographically coupled documents shared similar keyword terms, the coupling strength did not necessarily indicate semantic resemblance.[11] This discrepancy was evidenced in a study focusing on the Economics domain, which couldn`t establish a clear pattern of covariation between Bibliographic Coupling Score and Semantic . . .
