Kopsavilkums	VOSviewer-assisted co-citation analysis combines Henry Small's co-citation measure — counting how often two documents are jointly cited by later work — with VOSviewer's automated network construction and visual mapping capabilities. The result is a spatial map of the intellectual base of a research field, where documents that share many citing contexts cluster together, revealing foundational schools of thought and their relationships.	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.
