Resumo	bibliometrix-assisted science mapping is a computational approach that uses the bibliometrix R package to retrieve, clean, and analyze large bibliographic datasets, producing structured visual maps of how knowledge in a field is organized, interconnected, and evolving over time. It combines descriptive bibliometrics with network analysis and strategic clustering techniques to reveal intellectual structure, thematic frontiers, and influential actors in a research domain.	VOSviewer-assisted science mapping uses the VOSviewer software — developed at Leiden University — to construct and visualize bibliometric networks from publication metadata. It applies the VOS (Visualization of Similarities) mapping technique to reveal intellectual structures in a research field: co-authorship networks, citation landscapes, keyword clusters, and thematic frontiers, all rendered as interactive, color-coded network maps that expose how concepts, authors, and journals are relationally positioned within a discipline.
