Σύνοψη	A bibliometrix-assisted narrative review combines the quantitative field-mapping capabilities of the bibliometrix R package with the interpretive flexibility of a traditional narrative review. Bibliometric indicators — publication trends, author and country productivity, co-citation networks, keyword co-occurrence — are computed and visualised first to orient the reviewer, then a discursive, thematic narrative synthesises the intellectual content of key sources. The result is a structured yet flexible overview of a field that is more transparent and reproducible than a purely informal narrative.	A scoping review is a systematic evidence-synthesis method that maps the breadth and nature of research on a topic — identifying key concepts, evidence types, and gaps — without necessarily appraising study quality or pooling effect sizes. Developed by Arksey and O'Malley (2005) and refined by Levac and colleagues (2010), it is particularly valuable for emerging or heterogeneous fields where a full systematic review would be premature or infeasible.
