Analytical (sometimes called critical) bibliography, and its related studies of historical, textual, and descriptive bibliography, is the 'study of books as material objects.' It is a specialty within library and humanistic spheres that studies the book and all its parts in the assumption that any individual book is a representation of the society in which it was produced and that analyzing aggregates of books will assist in understanding the means and circumstances of transmitting ideas and the general nature of past society. [48 (262)]
Studies the processes of making books, especially the material modes of production, including the practices of scriptorium or printing shop. One of the purposes of analytical bibliography is to understand how the processes of material production affect the nature and state of the text preserved in the book. [237]

This definition is a very academic and traditional one. But maybe if you refer to \'Scientific bibliography\' or \'Scientific bibliography studies\', it may do. To my mind, it\'s really about practical \'Documentation\' in the general sense.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES : To study the role assumed by epidemiology in occupational health literature and characterize its change over the years.
METHODS : A bibliometric study was conducted employing a Medline search to evaluate 9024 articles published in eight representative occupational health journals for the period 1980 through 1993.
Epidemiology -related articles were determined by descriptors indexed on articles and their number and proportion among all published articles was tabulated for the study period.
RESULTS : The proportion of source items indexed by \"epidemiology\" as a descriptor increased over three-fold from 7.9% (42/534) in 1980 to over 25% after 1990. \"Epidemiology\" was indexed most frequently as a subheading in the form of a bound descriptor, \"occupational diseases--epidemiology\" \"Cohort studies\" showed the largest increase among those descriptors indicating epidemiological study type during the period.
CONCLUSION : Epidemiology is assuming increasing importance in occupational health literature. This was demonstrated quantitatively and qualitatively by the utilization of descriptors in the Medline database.
KEY TERMS : epidemiology, bibliometrics, occupational health, Medline, journal

The problem with your definition is that it doesn\'t say exactly what aspect of B is really being researched and to what degree. Is it just a course providing guidelines on how to produce the bibliographic end-product associated with scientific research (a simple how-to), or is it more about focusing on the discipline of B itself?
