Resumen	bibliometrix-assisted co-citation analysis combines Henry Small's co-citation measure with the open-source R package bibliometrix to map the intellectual structure of a research field. When two documents are frequently cited together by third papers, they are considered intellectually linked; the bibliometrix package automates construction of the co-citation matrix, similarity normalization, community detection, and network visualization, turning raw bibliographic exports into interpretable science maps.	Bibliographic coupling is a method that identifies intellectual relationships between documents by measuring their shared references. Two papers are considered 'coupled' when they cite the same sources, indicating they address related research questions or draw from the same conceptual foundations. Introduced by Kessler in 1963, this approach enables researchers to map knowledge domains and discover thematically similar publications without relying on subject cataloging or keywords.
