Sammanfattning	Bibliometrix-assisted bibliographic coupling applies the open-source R package bibliometrix to construct and analyse bibliographic coupling networks, in which two documents are linked by the number of references they share. The workflow automates record import, network construction, community detection, and summary statistics within a single reproducible R environment, making it accessible to researchers without dedicated scientometric software licences.	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.
