Samenvatting	Time-sliced thematic evolution analysis is a bibliometric method that divides a corpus of publications into consecutive time windows and tracks how research themes emerge, consolidate, split, merge, or disappear across those periods. By applying co-word analysis and strategic-diagram mapping within each slice and then linking themes across slices, it reveals the intellectual trajectory of a research field over time.	Thematic evolution analysis is a bibliometric technique that divides a body of literature into consecutive time periods and tracks how research themes emerge, consolidate, split, merge, or disappear across those periods. By combining co-word analysis, clustering, and strategic diagrams for each time slice, it produces a dynamic picture of a field's intellectual development rather than a static snapshot.
