Bibliometric Analysis

Bibliometric analysis is a discipline that uses mathematical and statistical methods to quantitatively analyze publications like journals and patents to explore knowledge structures and trends. In enterprise risk management, it serves as an advanced tool for implementing ISO 31000:2018 clauses on 'Context of the Organization' and 'Risk Identification.' By systematically analyzing global research on AI security, for instance, a company can proactively identify emerging risks like new algorithmic biases or adversarial attacks, allowing for timely inclusion in the corporate risk register. This quantitative approach offers a more objective view of the external environment than traditional literature reviews.

Enterprises can apply bibliometric analysis in four steps: 1) Scope Definition: Clearly define the risk topic, such as 'supply chain compliance risks under the EU AI Act.' 2) Data Extraction: Systematically retrieve relevant data from databases like Scopus, Web of Science, or patent offices. 3) Network Analysis: Use software like VOSviewer to visualize keyword co-occurrence or collaboration networks, revealing key themes and trends. 4) Intelligence Translation: Convert findings into actionable risk intelligence reports for the risk committee. For example, a semiconductor company could analyze research on AI chip vulnerabilities to inform its security strategy. Successful implementation can increase the identification rate of emerging technology risks by over 30%.

Taiwanese enterprises face three main challenges: 1) High Cost of Data Access: Subscriptions to academic databases are expensive. Solution: Utilize free databases like Google Scholar or collaborate with academic institutions. 2) Scarcity of Interdisciplinary Talent: The analysis requires a blend of data science, information science, and domain expertise. Solution: Form cross-functional teams and engage external consultants to build internal capacity. 3) Difficulty in Translating Insights: Academic outputs can be hard to convert into business actions. Solution: Integrate the analysis into the existing ISO 31000 risk assessment process and use workshops to translate insights into concrete mitigation plans.
