Abstract

Bu çalışma, çevresel, sosyal ve ekonomik boyutlarıyla sürdürülebilirlik kalkınma hedeflerini merkeze alan çalışmaların iletişim alanında hangi kapsamda ve yöntemle ele alındığını inceleme amacı taşımaktadır. Bu nedenle, Web of Science veri tabanında iletişim alanındaki Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri ile bağlantılı çalışmalarda ön plana çıkan tema ve metotları keşfetmek, bu çalışmaların uygulama alanında mevcut ve muhtemel gelişmelerle bağlantı düzeyini saptamak ve gelecek dönem yapılacak araştırmalara bir kaynak oluşturabilmek amacıyla 2021-2022 yılları arasındaki bağlantılı çalışmalar; yazar sayısı, kapsam/yöntem, araştırma alanı, sonuç, anahtar kelimeler ve atıf sayısı değişkenleri bağlamında bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. İlgili çalışmaların ağırlıklı olarak sürdürülebilirliğin çevresel boyutlarına odaklandığı, çevresel sürdürülebilirlik ve sosyal sürdürülebilirlik ile bağlantılı olarak gerçekleştirilen çalışmaların disiplinler arası bir nitelik taşıdığı saptanmıştır. Ayrıca analiz sonucunda, ekonomik sürdürülebilirlik üzerine gerçekleştirilen çalışmaların sosyal ve çevresel sürdürülebilirlik merkezli çalışmalara göre kısıtlı olduğu ve çalışmaların genelinin BM sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerinin sınırlı boyutlarına odaklandığı görülmüştür. Çalışmada saptanan diğer önemli bulgular ise, ilgili çalışmaların sektörel trendlerle uyumunun sınırlılığı ve bilgisayar destekknojli yeni araştırma yöntemlerinin kısıtlı düzeyde kullanımıdır. Bu nedenle, sürdürülebilirlikle bağlantılı kalkınma hedeflerinin iletişim disiplini içerisinde, sektörel ve akademik düzeyde yeni eğilimler göz önünde bulundurularak, mevcut ve potansiyel araştırmacılara yönelik öneriler getirilmiştir.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Academic Studies on Sustainability in Communication Sciences

Abstract

This study aims to examine the scope and method by which studies focus on Sustainability Development Goals with their environmental, social, and economic dimensions handled in communication. Therefore, in order to discover the prominent themes and methods in the studies linked to the Sustainable Development Goals in the field of communication in the Web of Science database, to determine the level of connection of these studies with current and possible developments in the field of practice, and to provide a resource for future research, the linked studies between 2021-2022 were examined by bibliometric analysis method in the context of the number of authors, scope/method, research area, results, keywords and number of citations. As a result, it is determined that studies mainly focused on environmental sustainability and that studies carried out in connection with environmental and social sustainability are interdisciplinary. In addition, it is seen that studies on economic sustainability are limited compared to social and environmental sustainability studies, and most of the studies focus on limited dimensions of the UN sustainable development goals. Other significant findings identified in the study are the limited compliance of relevant studies with sectoral trends and the restricted use of new computer-aided research methods. For this reason, suggestions have been made for current and potential researchers, considering new trends at the sectoral and academic level within the communication discipline of sustainability development goals
