Visual Mapping and Bibliometric Analysis of the Belleten Journal (2009-2021)
Abstract
The Belleten Journal, which started publication in 1937, has contributed to Turkey's knowledge and dissemination of information for nearly a century. In this research, visual mapping and bibliometric analysis of 431 articles published in the journal Belleten, which were scanned in Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases between 2009-2021, were conducted. Data were obtained from the WoS and Scopus database in January (2022). In the study, the articles with the highest impact factor, the distribution of the articles, the author profile, the number of authors, the distribution of the authors according to the universities they belong to and the most frequently cited authors were determined. In order to determine the intellectual structure of the journal Belleten, co-citation analysis was carried out to reveal the relationship networks between bibliometric items. Research findings show that Golen, Z. with six articles and Demiryürek, N. with five articles in the journal Belleten are the most productive authors. Ankara University is the university that contributes the most to the journal with 24 articles. Hacettepe University follows Ankara University with 20 articles. The highest number of publications in the journal is in Turkey with 374 articles. Turkey is followed by Kyrgyzstan with six articles and Azerbaijan with five articles. Of the articles published in the journal, 293 are empirical, and 138 are review articles. The findings show that the Belleten Journal successfully fulfills its function as an effective platform for producing and disseminating knowledge in Turkish History, Political Science, Turkish Culture, and Anthropology.
