description This study aims to explore the mapping, evolution, and application trends of co-citation analysis. To accomplish this goal, a comprehensive search was conducted using Scopus and Web of Science, resulting in 1298 relevant studies. Further analysis was conducted on scientific production, country, author, journal, and network data. The Tree of Science algorithm was applied to demonstrate the development of co-citation analysis. The results make three significant contributions to scientometric research: Firstly, a scientific mapping is presented highlighting the scientific output, main journals, and key researchers; secondly, the advancements of co-citation analysis are presented through the Tree of Science metaphor; lastly, the study identifies the three main subtopics within co-citation analysis through citation analysis. These findings will assist researchers and librarians in recognizing the crucial contributions and applications of co-citation analysis.

Este estudio tiene como objetivo explorar el mapeo, la evolución y las tendencias de aplicación del análisis de citas conjuntas. Se realizó una búsqueda utilizando Scopus y Web of Science, lo que resultó en 1298 estudios relevantes. Se realizó un análisis adicional sobre la producción científica, el país, el autor, la revista y los datos de la red. Se aplicó el algoritmo Tree of Science para demostrar el desarrollo del análisis de cocitación. Los resultados hacen tres contribuciones significativas a la investigación cienciométrica: se presenta un mapeo científico destacando la producción científica, las principales revistas y los investigadores clave; los avances del análisis de cocitación se presentan a través de la metáfora del Árbol de la Ciencia; también se identifican los tres subtemas principales dentro del análisis de citas conjuntas a través del análisis de citas. Estos hallazgos ayudarán a los investigadores y bibliotecarios a reconocer las contribuciones y aplicaciones cruciales del análisis de citas conjuntas.
