Résumé	Network-based scientometric analysis applies graph-theoretic methods to bibliographic data — publications, citations, authors, and keywords — to map the intellectual structure of a scientific field. By modeling documents or authors as nodes and their relationships (citations, co-authorships, co-word occurrences) as edges, it reveals clusters of knowledge, central actors, emerging topics, and the flow of ideas across disciplines. Tools such as VOSviewer, Gephi, and the R package bibliometrix are commonly used.	Co-word analysis is a scientometric technique that quantifies how often pairs of keywords, subject terms, or title words appear together across a corpus of publications. By treating simultaneous occurrence as a proxy for conceptual relatedness, it constructs networks and clusters that reveal the intellectual structure, dominant themes, and emerging sub-fields of a research domain.
