Bibliometrix-Assisted Thematic Evolution Analysis

Bibliometrix-assisted thematic evolution analysis uses the bibliometrix R package to trace how research themes emerge, mature, decline, or transform across successive time periods within a scientific field. By combining co-word analysis with strategic diagram visualisation, the workflow maps the intellectual structure of a field and reveals longitudinal shifts in topic centrality and development, producing reproducible, publication-ready outputs within a single R environment.
