Abstract

Bu çalışmada WOS veri tabanında taranan 2003-2023 arası 609 tefsir konulu araştırma makalesinin bibliyometrik özelliklerinin analizi amaçlanmıştır. Bu suretle çalışmanın bundan sonraki tefsir konulu makalelere yön vereceği düşünülmüştür. Çalışmanın veri setini oluşturan 609 araştırma makalesinin tarandığı indeksler AHCI ve ESCI olarak belirlenmiştir. Yöntem olarak şu çalışma biçimi takip edilmiştir: Çalışmaya esas olan veri seti, Web of Science veri tabanından “tafsir” anahtar kelimesiyle çekilmiştir. Bibtex çıktısından elde edilen veriler, R Studio Bibliometrix uygulaması kullanılarak görselleştirilmiş ve çalışmanın sorularına yönelik belirli parametrelere göre başlıklarla kategorize edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın en önemli çıktılarından birisi şu sorunun cevabı olarak belirlenmiştir: Türkiye’deki tefsir akademisi ve ilahiyat araştırmaları dergilerinin dünyadaki tefsir araştırmalarında yeri nedir? Dünyadaki tefsir çalışmalarının geçmişine vakıf olarak geleceğine dair öngörü ve önerilerde bulunabilmek bu çalışmanın en önemli odak noktasını teşkil etmektedir. Çalışmada Türkiye’deki tefsir akademisinin bilimsel yayınlarının üretkenlik, dolayısıyla da nicelik bakımından oldukça göz doldurur bir düzeye ulaştığı görülmüştür. Ancak grafiklerin en uzun çizgilerine adını yazdıran Tefsir akademisyenlerinin, söz konusu alana etki bakımından o kadar da başarılı olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bunun en önemli sebebinin uluslararası etki ve tanınırlığın en büyük faktörü olan İngilizce makale yazımındaki yetersizlik ve isteksizlik olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Bibliometric Evaluation Based on Web of Science Database: Articles on Tafsir (2003-2023)

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the bibliometric properties of 609 exegetical research articles scanned in the WOS database between 2003 and 2023. In this way, it is thought that the study will guide future articles on exegesis. The indexes in which the 609 research articles that make up the data set of the study were scanned were generally determined as the AHCI and ESCI indexes. As a method, the following study method was followed: The data set on which the study was based was taken from the Web of Science database with the keyword "tafsir". The resulting Bibtext output was visualized in the R Studio bibliometrics application and divided into headings according to certain parameters in line with the questions of the study. The primary aim of this study is to make a bibliometric analysis of articles on tafsir written in the field of tafsir in the world. The research logic in bibliometric analysis studies includes the author, institution, year, keyword, citation information, etc. of scientific publications on a specific subject. is to extract data from academic databases and analyze this information. In this way, who works on what within a certain field, which institutions are active, which journals dominate the field, etc. information is obtained. The aim of this study is to present such an analysis specifically for tafsir articles. The importance of the study is evident in shedding light on subsequent tafsir research in terms of subject and tendency.
With the findings of this study, tafsir researchers; Which areas should be focused on, which journals would be more advantageous to send your articles to, who are the academics who publish articles in journals with a high impact factor in the field, etc. will be able to reach useful findings While some of the data in this study appreciate Turkish theologians, others remind us of some neglected deficiencies. Looking at the lines and bars of the graph, it can be seen that Turkish theologians who write articles on exegesis are quite hard-working and productive compared to their colleagues in other countries. This self-productive effort in the field is reflected in the graphics in an impressive way. It is clear that Turkish theologians dominate the field of exegesis in terms of the quantity of publications worldwide. Among the universities, Sakarya University Faculty of Theology, Cumhuriyet Journal of Theology as a journal and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Enes Büyük are prominent names in the field. It is seen that Turkish theologians, who are clearly the first in the field in terms of the number of publications, leave the first place in terms of their influence in the field to Malaysia, one of the Islamic countries, and to America, England and Canada in the West. Therefore, in order for Turkish theologians to compete in international influence; It is obvious that there is a need for international co-authorship, to be able to publish articles by influential authors in the field to journals, to publish some of the commentary works in English, to focus on the discussion topics of the most cited articles in the field, and most importantly, to address hot issues that have problematic issues that will raise an impact abroad.
