Sintesi	bibliometrix-assisted co-citation analysis combines Henry Small's co-citation measure with the open-source R package bibliometrix to map the intellectual structure of a research field. When two documents are frequently cited together by third papers, they are considered intellectually linked; the bibliometrix package automates construction of the co-citation matrix, similarity normalization, community detection, and network visualization, turning raw bibliographic exports into interpretable science maps.	Network-based co-citation analysis is a bibliometric technique that measures how often pairs of documents are cited together by later works, then models those relationships as a weighted network. Nodes represent documents (or authors or journals), edges represent co-citation frequency, and network algorithms identify clusters of intellectually related literature. It is widely used in systematic and scoping reviews to map the intellectual structure of a research field.
