Підсумок	A bibliometrix-assisted narrative review combines the quantitative field-mapping capabilities of the bibliometrix R package with the interpretive flexibility of a traditional narrative review. Bibliometric indicators — publication trends, author and country productivity, co-citation networks, keyword co-occurrence — are computed and visualised first to orient the reviewer, then a discursive, thematic narrative synthesises the intellectual content of key sources. The result is a structured yet flexible overview of a field that is more transparent and reproducible than a purely informal narrative.	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.
