Sammanfattning	A VOSviewer-assisted systematic literature review combines the rigorous search-and-appraisal pipeline of a standard systematic review with bibliometric network visualization produced by the VOSviewer software. The approach allows researchers to systematically retrieve and screen the literature while simultaneously mapping co-citation clusters, keyword co-occurrence networks, and institutional collaboration patterns, yielding both a narrative synthesis and a visual, quantitative overview of the field's intellectual structure.	Bibliographic coupling is a method that identifies intellectual relationships between documents by measuring their shared references. Two papers are considered 'coupled' when they cite the same sources, indicating they address related research questions or draw from the same conceptual foundations. Introduced by Kessler in 1963, this approach enables researchers to map knowledge domains and discover thematically similar publications without relying on subject cataloging or keywords.
