Resumé	Time-sliced bibliographic coupling divides a publication corpus into successive time windows and applies bibliographic coupling analysis within each window to track how research fronts emerge, shift, merge, or disappear across time. It transforms a static snapshot technique into a longitudinal tool for mapping the intellectual evolution of a scientific field, revealing when and how new thematic clusters appear in the literature.	Bibliometric analysis applies statistical and mathematical methods to bibliographic records — publications, citations, authors, journals, and keywords — to measure and map the structure, output, and intellectual evolution of a research field. It is widely used to identify influential works, prolific authors, productive journals, collaboration networks, and emerging research themes across any academic discipline.
