Professor Mauro Guerrini is one of the most influential Italian researchers in the f ield of knowledge organization (i.e., cataloguing and classification). This research seeks to present his scientific image from the perspective of international bibliometric and scientometric indicators. In order to draw the scientometric portrait of Professor Guerrini, his papers indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) were examined using the VOSviewer and Bibliometrix R-Package softwares. Over the years, Professor Guerrini has focused on topics such as knowledge organization and cataloguing. He has sought to apply his knowledge to the development of Italian libraries. Although, all scientific collaborations of Professor Guerrini have been done with Italian researchers, most of them have been published in the journal JLIS.it. On the other hand, Carlo Bianchini has been one of his main collaborators during these years. He also published most of his scientific findings under the name of the University of Florence.
