概要	VOSviewer-assisted meta-analysis integrates the bibliometric network visualisation capabilities of VOSviewer into the literature identification and mapping phases of a standard meta-analysis. Before the statistical pooling of effect sizes begins, VOSviewer is used to visualise co-citation networks, keyword co-occurrence maps, and publication clusters, helping researchers comprehensively delineate the research field and identify all eligible primary studies for quantitative synthesis.	Co-citation analysis is a method that identifies the intellectual structure of a research domain by examining how frequently pairs of documents are cited together in other publications. When two papers are frequently cited together in the literature, they are considered co-cited, indicating they are conceptually related or influential within the same research community. Developed by Henry Small in 1973, co-citation analysis maps the 'invisible colleges' of science—networks of researchers working on related problems—and reveals how knowledge domains evolve over time.
