Sintesi	Bibliometrix-assisted citation analysis uses the bibliometrix R package to systematically retrieve, clean, and analyze citation data exported from major databases such as Web of Science and Scopus. By automating reference parsing, frequency counting, and network construction, it enables researchers to identify the most-cited works, map intellectual influence, and trace the evolution of scholarly fields at a scale that manual analysis cannot match.	Bibliometric analysis applies statistical and mathematical methods to bibliographic records — publications, citations, authors, journals, and keywords — to measure and map the structure, output, and intellectual evolution of a research field. It is widely used to identify influential works, prolific authors, productive journals, collaboration networks, and emerging research themes across any academic discipline.
