Zusammenfassung	A VOSviewer-assisted systematic literature review combines the rigorous search-and-appraisal pipeline of a standard systematic review with bibliometric network visualization produced by the VOSviewer software. The approach allows researchers to systematically retrieve and screen the literature while simultaneously mapping co-citation clusters, keyword co-occurrence networks, and institutional collaboration patterns, yielding both a narrative synthesis and a visual, quantitative overview of the field's intellectual structure.	Co-citation analysis is a method that identifies the intellectual structure of a research domain by examining how frequently pairs of documents are cited together in other publications. When two papers are frequently cited together in the literature, they are considered co-cited, indicating they are conceptually related or influential within the same research community. Developed by Henry Small in 1973, co-citation analysis maps the 'invisible colleges' of science—networks of researchers working on related problems—and reveals how knowledge domains evolve over time.
