תקציר	Time-sliced thematic evolution analysis is a bibliometric method that divides a corpus of publications into consecutive time windows and tracks how research themes emerge, consolidate, split, merge, or disappear across those periods. By applying co-word analysis and strategic-diagram mapping within each slice and then linking themes across slices, it reveals the intellectual trajectory of a research field over time.	Scientometric analysis applies statistical and computational methods to publication and citation data to measure the growth, structure, and impact of scientific fields. Drawing on databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, or OpenAlex, it quantifies output trends, identifies leading authors and institutions, maps intellectual networks, and evaluates research impact — transforming large bibliographic corpora into evidence-based portraits of how knowledge develops and spreads.
