Abstract

The article investigates the possibilities of using the VOSviewer service in the scientific activities of researchers and research and teaching staff. The relevance of the study is due to the growing role of digital competence in scientific activities and the need for effective analysis and visualization of scientific data. The study is based on the analysis of publications in the Scopus scientometric database dedicated to VOSviewer and a description of its use. An overview of the general trends in the use of VOSviewer in the world is presented, including the dynamics of publications by year, geographical distribution, and subject areas of application. The results of the analysis demonstrate the rapid growth in the popularity of VOSviewer since 2017, its wide geographical distribution with the dominance of Asian countries, and its use in various scientific disciplines. Particular attention is paid to the situation in Ukraine, where there has been an increase in interest in VOSviewer since 2021. The main part of the paper is devoted to a detailed description of the possibilities of using VOSviewer. A step-by-step process of working with the service is presented, including the selection of the data type, data source, data file, analysis type, and visualization parameters. Practical recommendations are given on how to export data from scientometric databases and prepare them for analysis in VOSviewer. The importance of integrating work with VOSviewer with other aspects of scientific activity, in particular with work in scientometric databases and the use of artificial intelligence services, is emphasized. This emphasizes an integrated approach to the formation of the digital competence of a modern scientist, including the research component.
