Sammanfattning	Time-sliced citation analysis partitions a body of literature into sequential temporal windows — for example, five-year intervals — and performs citation analysis within and across each window. This reveals how citation patterns, influential papers, and knowledge flows shift over time, providing a dynamic picture of a field's intellectual evolution rather than a static aggregate snapshot.	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.
