Muhtasari	Time-sliced scientometric analysis divides a bibliographic corpus into discrete temporal windows — commonly five- or ten-year periods — and applies standard scientometric indicators (publication counts, citation rates, h-index, collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence) within each slice. By comparing results across slices, researchers can reconstruct how a scientific field has grown, shifted focus, formed new collaborations, or declined in influence over time. The approach combines the rigor of quantitative scientometrics with an explicit longitudinal dimension.	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.
