| Abstract | Bibliography databases provide wide range of information which can be utilized in con-ducting various kind of analyses like tracking research trends, identifying researchersexcelling in a particular subject area, identifying areas where research strength ofcountries or universities lie or discovering from where a country is receiving its max-imum citations in a particular subject area. Procuring a relevant set of documentsfor conducting such analyses is a key factor for their accuracy. Bibliography databaseresources like Scopus use journal mapping for organizing resources in the database.For this, journals, conference proceedings or articles in such databases are mapped tosome predefined structured hierarchy of disciplines and sub-disciplines. However thiskind of retrieval is suitable if publications can clearly be distinguished to belong to aparticular discipline. The approach breaks down if we would like to analyze activity ininterdisciplinary fields. One solution is to use keyword based retrieval. For example,procuring documents belonging to interdisciplinary subject categories like sustainabledevelopment or biotechnology is possible using sets of keywords defining these areas.This study is thus mainly focused on generating sets of keywords which can define evenhighly focused niche areas. A system is developed using Java as programming platformand the Scopus database for procuring bibliography information. Formal evaluationhas been conducted by domain experts. |
