Podsumowanie	Field-mapping scientometric analysis uses quantitative bibliometric techniques — co-citation, bibliographic coupling, co-authorship, and keyword co-occurrence — to delineate the intellectual structure and boundaries of a scientific field. By transforming large publication datasets into similarity networks and clustering them into research fronts and knowledge bases, it produces visual maps that reveal how subfields relate, where boundaries lie, and how the field evolves over time.	Bibliometric analysis applies statistical and mathematical methods to bibliographic records — publications, citations, authors, journals, and keywords — to measure and map the structure, output, and intellectual evolution of a research field. It is widely used to identify influential works, prolific authors, productive journals, collaboration networks, and emerging research themes across any academic discipline.
