bibliometrix-assisted bibliographic coupling

Bibliometrix-assisted bibliographic coupling applies the open-source R package bibliometrix to construct and analyse bibliographic coupling networks, in which two documents are linked by the number of references they share. The workflow automates record import, network construction, community detection, and summary statistics within a single reproducible R environment, making it accessible to researchers without dedicated scientometric software licences.
