Elsevier SciVal as a Scientometric Lens: An Empirical Analysis of Global Publication Trends, Authorship Networks, and Citation Dynamics

Elsevier SciVal, built upon the comprehensive Scopus citation database, serves as a powerful scientometric lens for evaluating global research performance across disciplines, institutions, and nations.This study employs SciVal as the primary analytical instrument to conduct an empirical, multi-dimensional scientometric investigation of 36,765 publications spanning the decade 2014 to 2023.The analysis systematically examines three interrelated dimensions: (i) global publication trendscharting growth trajectories, subject distributions, and document type profiles over time; (ii) authorship network structures -quantifying collaboration patterns and computing the degree of collaboration (DC); and (iii) citation dynamics -profiling citation accumulation, impact indicators, and the h-index of the corpus.Standard bibliometric indicators applied include the h-index, average citations per paper (ACPP), relative growth rate (RGR), doubling time (Dt), and degree of collaboration (DC = 0.917).The corpus-level h-index was computed at 74, with an overall ACPP of 12.91 and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.97%.The United States, K.
