bibliometrix-Assisted Mapping Review

A bibliometrix-assisted mapping review combines the structured scope-and-search logic of an evidence mapping review with the analytical power of the bibliometrix R package. Instead of manually categorising studies, the researcher leverages bibliometrix functions — keyword co-occurrence networks, thematic clustering, and yearly trend analysis — to chart the landscape of a research field systematically and at scale, producing an interactive, reproducible evidence map.
