Sintesi	A bibliometrix-assisted mapping review combines the structured scope-and-search logic of an evidence mapping review with the analytical power of the bibliometrix R package. Instead of manually categorising studies, the researcher leverages bibliometrix functions — keyword co-occurrence networks, thematic clustering, and yearly trend analysis — to chart the landscape of a research field systematically and at scale, producing an interactive, reproducible evidence map.	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.
