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.	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.
