Sammanfattning	bibliometrix-assisted co-citation analysis combines Henry Small's co-citation measure with the open-source R package bibliometrix to map the intellectual structure of a research field. When two documents are frequently cited together by third papers, they are considered intellectually linked; the bibliometrix package automates construction of the co-citation matrix, similarity normalization, community detection, and network visualization, turning raw bibliographic exports into interpretable science maps.	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.
