Zusammenfassung	PRISMA-compliant co-citation analysis is a systematic bibliometric method that applies the PRISMA 2020 reporting framework to co-citation analysis. It identifies intellectual clusters in a research field by measuring how frequently pairs of documents are cited together, while ensuring full transparency of the literature search, screening decisions, and analytic choices through a pre-registered protocol and standardised flow diagram.	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.
