Abstract
Following the current trend of developing software as a service, we propose a software application to handle and support metric studies of information by applying the main laws of Bibliometrics, such as Lotka, Bradford, and Zipf, by means of integrating content and format in a single analysis process. Our application manages metrics according to the relevance of data, dispersion, rule of three and square root, in order to generate new indexes by relying on theories and laws already established among the scientific community. In addition, the developed tool has a pleasant aesthetic, along with a low cognitive effort for the user. To achieve such a scenario, a standardization of the interface combined with the fluidity of navigation within the application were used. The proposed application is suitable for those who work with academic and/or scientific issues, offering quick results compared to manual work, in which a lot of time is spent, either creating a system or analyzing spreadsheets. The result is a beta tool, available online athttp://expertsbibliometrics.ufsc.br/, with login and password, respectively: ‘ebbc2020@ufsc.br’ and ‘trocar123’.
