תקציר	A systematic mapping review (also called a 'scoping review') is a literature review methodology that aims to comprehensively identify and categorize the published evidence on a topic without necessarily assessing the quality of individual studies or synthesizing findings quantitatively. Developed by Arksey and O'Malley (2005) and formalized by the Joanna Briggs Institute, systematic mapping reviews chart the landscape of evidence: what has been studied, what are the research gaps, and how is evidence distributed across study types, populations, and outcomes. Unlike systematic reviews that answer specific research questions with rigorous study selection and synthesis, mapping reviews provide a broad overview of the research terrain, making them ideal for defining scope, identifying knowledge gaps, and guiding future research priorities.	Science mapping is a bibliometric visualization method that creates visual representations of research domains, showing the structure, development, and relationships of scientific fields. Using bibliographic data (citations, keywords, authors, journals), science mapping algorithms generate network diagrams where nodes represent documents, concepts, or authors and edges represent relationships (citation, collaboration, semantic similarity). The resulting maps make invisible intellectual structures visible, enabling researchers to understand field topology, identify emerging areas, and navigate disciplinary landscapes. Pioneered by Börner, Chen, and Boyack in the 2000s, science mapping has become a standard tool in research evaluation and strategic planning.
