Resumé	VOSviewer-assisted thematic evolution analysis is a scientometric pipeline that uses the VOSviewer software to build keyword co-occurrence networks across chronological time slices of a bibliographic dataset, revealing how research themes emerge, converge, fragment, or disappear over time within a scientific field. By coupling VOSviewer's density-based clustering with period-by-period comparison, researchers obtain a visual and quantitative account of a field's intellectual trajectory.	Co-word analysis is a scientometric technique that quantifies how often pairs of keywords, subject terms, or title words appear together across a corpus of publications. By treating simultaneous occurrence as a proxy for conceptual relatedness, it constructs networks and clusters that reveal the intellectual structure, dominant themes, and emerging sub-fields of a research domain.
