الملخص	Network-based scientometric analysis applies graph-theoretic methods to bibliographic data — publications, citations, authors, and keywords — to map the intellectual structure of a scientific field. By modeling documents or authors as nodes and their relationships (citations, co-authorships, co-word occurrences) as edges, it reveals clusters of knowledge, central actors, emerging topics, and the flow of ideas across disciplines. Tools such as VOSviewer, Gephi, and the R package bibliometrix are commonly used.	Science mapping is a bibliometric visualization method that creates visual representations of research domains, showing the structure, development, and relationships of scientific fields. Using bibliographic data (citations, keywords, authors, journals), science mapping algorithms generate network diagrams where nodes represent documents, concepts, or authors and edges represent relationships (citation, collaboration, semantic similarity). The resulting maps make invisible intellectual structures visible, enabling researchers to understand field topology, identify emerging areas, and navigate disciplinary landscapes. Pioneered by Börner, Chen, and Boyack in the 2000s, science mapping has become a standard tool in research evaluation and strategic planning.
