Ayurveda research data. Methodology; Scientometrics has become an essential tool for assessing and
analyzing the output of scientists. This article captures existing software tools for Scientometric analysis,
aims to review the steps to perform Scientometric Analysis such as data retrieval, performance analysis,
science mapping analysis and visualization. Conclusion; The present article discusses that Scientometrics
