Kopsavilkums	VOSviewer-assisted co-word analysis is a scientometric pipeline that constructs and visualizes keyword co-occurrence networks from a bibliographic corpus using VOSviewer software. By mapping how often pairs of author-assigned or index keywords appear together in the same publications, the method reveals the intellectual structure of a research field — its dominant themes, emerging topics, and conceptual clusters — producing interactive density and network maps that support systematic interpretation.	Scientometric analysis applies statistical and computational methods to publication and citation data to measure the growth, structure, and impact of scientific fields. Drawing on databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, or OpenAlex, it quantifies output trends, identifies leading authors and institutions, maps intellectual networks, and evaluates research impact — transforming large bibliographic corpora into evidence-based portraits of how knowledge develops and spreads.
