The thematic network makes it possible to identify, in a synthetic and accessible way, the most frequent topics, their level of centrality, and the relationships established among them based on the keywords used by the authors. Thus, what would normally be dispersed across numerous articles is integrated into a map that shows how knowledge is organized, which areas concentrate greater development, and which links articulate the different lines of research. Its usefulness lies in offering a panoramic understanding of the field, facilitating the detection of trends, and guiding both readers and researchers regarding the thematic coherence and intellectual evolution of the publication. In sum, the thematic network functions as a visual indicator of the journal’s performance and the internal dynamics of its academic community.
