Sintesi	bibliometrix-assisted scientometric analysis is a reproducible, R-based workflow that applies the bibliometrix package to analyse the structure and dynamics of scientific fields using publication metadata. It integrates descriptive statistics, citation metrics, and network analysis — co-citation, bibliographic coupling, co-authorship, and co-word — into a single scriptable environment, enabling systematic, transparent mapping of research landscapes at scale.	Bibliographic coupling is a method that identifies intellectual relationships between documents by measuring their shared references. Two papers are considered 'coupled' when they cite the same sources, indicating they address related research questions or draw from the same conceptual foundations. Introduced by Kessler in 1963, this approach enables researchers to map knowledge domains and discover thematically similar publications without relying on subject cataloging or keywords.
