PRISMA-Compliant Co-Citation Analysis

PRISMA-compliant co-citation analysis is a systematic bibliometric method that applies the PRISMA 2020 reporting framework to co-citation analysis. It identifies intellectual clusters in a research field by measuring how frequently pairs of documents are cited together, while ensuring full transparency of the literature search, screening decisions, and analytic choices through a pre-registered protocol and standardised flow diagram.
