Resumé	Time-sliced citation analysis partitions a body of literature into sequential temporal windows — for example, five-year intervals — and performs citation analysis within and across each window. This reveals how citation patterns, influential papers, and knowledge flows shift over time, providing a dynamic picture of a field's intellectual evolution rather than a static aggregate snapshot.	Bibliographic coupling is a method that identifies intellectual relationships between documents by measuring their shared references. Two papers are considered 'coupled' when they cite the same sources, indicating they address related research questions or draw from the same conceptual foundations. Introduced by Kessler in 1963, this approach enables researchers to map knowledge domains and discover thematically similar publications without relying on subject cataloging or keywords.
