Sintesi	Time-sliced scientometric analysis divides a bibliographic corpus into discrete temporal windows — commonly five- or ten-year periods — and applies standard scientometric indicators (publication counts, citation rates, h-index, collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence) within each slice. By comparing results across slices, researchers can reconstruct how a scientific field has grown, shifted focus, formed new collaborations, or declined in influence over time. The approach combines the rigor of quantitative scientometrics with an explicit longitudinal dimension.	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.
