bibliometrix-assisted science mapping

bibliometrix-assisted science mapping is a computational approach that uses the bibliometrix R package to retrieve, clean, and analyze large bibliographic datasets, producing structured visual maps of how knowledge in a field is organized, interconnected, and evolving over time. It combines descriptive bibliometrics with network analysis and strategic clustering techniques to reveal intellectual structure, thematic frontiers, and influential actors in a research domain.
