Kokkuvõte	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.	Bibliometric analysis applies statistical and mathematical methods to bibliographic records — publications, citations, authors, journals, and keywords — to measure and map the structure, output, and intellectual evolution of a research field. It is widely used to identify influential works, prolific authors, productive journals, collaboration networks, and emerging research themes across any academic discipline.
