I am working on bibliometric review as part of my PhD thesis, and I have adopted Citespace to do this analisys.
Last week my advisor has questioned that is important to mention what is the technique used to find the clusters.
How can I answer this question? Is there a mathematical or estatiscal method I can refer for that?
Regards.

CiteSpace employs spectral clustering. look this up and you will get plenty of materials. You can refer the below article:
