Visualization of the research trends on digital twin in journal publications

Öz

This research aims to make a bibliometric analysis of scientific studies on digital twin technology in the field of social sciences searched in the Scopus database. For this purpose, 254 journal articles published between 2018-2022 were reached. The bibliometric data of 254 scientific studies in the Scopus database were analysed using VOSviewer 1.6.18 and visualised using Microsoft Office Excel and Tableau programs. Some of the findings obtained in the research are as follows: (1) 254 articles were produced by researchers from 58 different countries. (2) The United Kingdom, Italy and the People's Republic of China are the countries that produce the largest number of programmes on the digital twin. (3) The Polytechnic University of Valencia, University College London, the Polytechnic University of Milan and the Technical University of Košice are leading institutions in digital twin research. (4) Sustainability Switzerland journal stands out with 54 publications and 1203 citations. (5) Dmitry Ivanov ranks first in terms of the number of citations. (6) It is seen that machine learning, building information modelling, smart city, virtual reality and artificial intelligence keywords come to the fore in the researches.

Öz

Bu araştırma, Scopus veri tabanında taranan sosyal bilimler alanındaki dijital ikiz teknolojisi üzerine yapılan bilimsel çalışmaların bibliyometrik analizini yapmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, 2018-2022 yılları arasında yayınlanmış 254 dergi makalesine ulaşılmıştır. Scopus veri tabanında bulunan 254 bilimsel çalışmanın bibliyometrik verileri VOSviewer 1.6.18 programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve Microsoft Office Excel ile Tableau programları kullanılarak görselleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulardan bazıları şu şekildedir: (1) 254 makale 58 farklı ülkedeki araştırmacılar tarafından üretilmiştir. (2) Dijital ikiz üzerine en fazla yayın üreten ülkeler İngiltere, İtalya ve Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti’dir. (3) Valencia Politeknik Üniversitesi, Londra Üniversitesi Koleji, Milano Politeknik Üniversitesi ve Košice Teknik Üniversitesi dijital ikiz araştırmalarında önde gelen kurumlardır. (4) Sustainability Switzerland dergisi 54 yayın ve 1203 atıf sayısı ile öne çıkmaktadır. (5) Atıf sayısı bakımından Dmitry İvanov ilk sırada yer almaktadır. (6) Araştırmalarda makine öğrenmesi, yapı bilgi modellemesi, akıllı şehir, sanal gerçeklik ve yapay zekâ anahtar kelimelerinin ön plana çıktığı görülmektedir.
