Resumen	Co-authorship network analysis is a method that maps research collaboration patterns by treating authors as nodes and co-authored papers as edges in a network graph. The structure, density, and centrality patterns of this network reveal how researchers connect, collaborate across institutions and disciplines, and form research communities. Pioneered formally by Newman (2001), co-authorship analysis provides quantitative insights into the social fabric of science, revealing collaboration patterns, identifying scientific leaders, and detecting institutional or disciplinary boundaries.	Co-citation analysis is a method that identifies the intellectual structure of a research domain by examining how frequently pairs of documents are cited together in other publications. When two papers are frequently cited together in the literature, they are considered co-cited, indicating they are conceptually related or influential within the same research community. Developed by Henry Small in 1973, co-citation analysis maps the 'invisible colleges' of science—networks of researchers working on related problems—and reveals how knowledge domains evolve over time.
