Kopsavilkums	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.	Science mapping is a bibliometric visualization method that creates visual representations of research domains, showing the structure, development, and relationships of scientific fields. Using bibliographic data (citations, keywords, authors, journals), science mapping algorithms generate network diagrams where nodes represent documents, concepts, or authors and edges represent relationships (citation, collaboration, semantic similarity). The resulting maps make invisible intellectual structures visible, enabling researchers to understand field topology, identify emerging areas, and navigate disciplinary landscapes. Pioneered by Börner, Chen, and Boyack in the 2000s, science mapping has become a standard tool in research evaluation and strategic planning.
