Bibexcel, Bibliometrix, Co-authorship networks, Reproducibility, BibliometricsResumo
This study compares Bibexcel and Bibliometrix in co-authorship network analysis, focusing on transparency, automation, and reproducibility. Using 364 Web of Science articles linked to the Brazilian Synchrotron (LNLS), the research evaluates data extraction, preprocessing, and visualization workflows. Results indicate that Bibexcel provides greater transparency and control, while Bibliometrix offers automation and efficiency. The comparison highlights methodological implications for open science and scientific sovereignty, emphasizing how the choice of tool affects reproducibility, accessibility, and interpretation of collaborative networks.
