Sintesi	bibliometrix-assisted bibliometric analysis is a structured quantitative approach to mapping a scientific field using the bibliometrix R package. Developed by Aria and Cuccurullo (2017), it provides an integrated environment for importing bibliographic records from Scopus or Web of Science, computing performance indicators, building co-authorship and citation networks, and generating thematic maps — all within a reproducible R or Shiny workflow.	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.
