תקציר	A network-based mapping review combines the breadth of a traditional evidence mapping exercise with bibliometric network analysis to chart the structural landscape of a research field. Rather than simply cataloguing studies by topic, this approach constructs citation, co-authorship, or co-word networks to reveal clusters of intellectual activity, influential works, and collaboration patterns — producing both a visual and a descriptive map of the evidence base.	A mapping review (also called a systematic map or evidence map) is a form of systematic review that aims to chart the extent, range, and nature of evidence on a broad topic rather than synthesize findings into a single pooled answer. It categorizes studies by key dimensions — such as intervention type, population, outcome, and study design — and presents the resulting landscape visually and tabularly so that researchers and practitioners can identify clusters of evidence, knowledge gaps, and priorities for future primary research or deeper synthesis.
