Σύνοψη	Time-sliced thematic evolution analysis is a bibliometric method that divides a corpus of publications into consecutive time windows and tracks how research themes emerge, consolidate, split, merge, or disappear across those periods. By applying co-word analysis and strategic-diagram mapping within each slice and then linking themes across slices, it reveals the intellectual trajectory of a research field over time.	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.
