bibliometrix-Assisted Systematic Literature Review

A bibliometrix-assisted systematic literature review integrates the R package bibliometrix — developed by Aria and Cuccurullo (2017) — into the standard systematic review pipeline to automate and visualize bibliometric performance and science-mapping analyses. It combines the transparency and reproducibility of a protocol-driven systematic search with quantitative tools for tracking publication trends, author collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic evolution across a field.
