Muhtasari	Bibliometrix-assisted citation analysis uses the bibliometrix R package to systematically retrieve, clean, and analyze citation data exported from major databases such as Web of Science and Scopus. By automating reference parsing, frequency counting, and network construction, it enables researchers to identify the most-cited works, map intellectual influence, and trace the evolution of scholarly fields at a scale that manual analysis cannot match.	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.
