Abstract

Although reviews about leadership in sports have been published from the past to the present, there is a lack of studies that guide future studies at decisive points such as the relationships of publications with each other, the author, the number of citations and the number of journal citations. In this research, it is aimed to determine the effects and relationships of the articles published on the Web of Science (WoS) database on the theme of leadership in sports sciences in the process from past to present. The “Bibliometric citation analysis” method, one of the qualitative data analysis methods, was used in the study. The data in the study were collected using the VOSviewer (1.6.19) bibliometric analysis application via WoS. In the research, between 1987 and 2023, a total of 860 articles were reached in the category of “Sport science” and using the keyword “leadership”. The distribution of the indexes of the publications reached is as “Social Science Citation Index (SSCI)” (n:734), “Science Citation Index Expended (SCI-E)” (n:710), “Art & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI)” (n:2), “Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)” (n:129) and other indices (n:17). As a result of the bibliometric analysis, the most commonly used keywords were examined under the themes of the most publications by year, the number of publications and citations produced, the authors who produce the most publications and citations, and the number of publications and citations by countries and journals.

Sporda Liderlik Alanında Yapılan Çalışmaların Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Geçmişten günümüze kadar sporda liderlik ile ilgili derleme yayın yapılmakla birlikte, yayınların birbirleriyle olan ilişkileri, yazar, atıf sayısı ve dergi atıf sayıları gibi belirleyici noktalarda gelecek çalışmalara yön veren çalışmaların eksikliği dikkat çekmektedir. Bu araştırmada spor bilimlerinde liderlik temasına ilişkin Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanında yayınlanan makalelerin geçmişten günümüze olan süreçlerini ve ilişkilerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada nitel veri analiz yöntemlerinden “Bibliyometrik atıf analizi” yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmadaki veriler WoS üzerinden VOSviewer (1.6.19) bibliyometrik analiz uygulaması kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Araştırmada 1987-2023 yılları arasında, “Sport science” kategorisinde ve “leadership” anahtar sözcüğü kullanılarak toplamda 860 makaleye ulaşılmıştır. Ulaşılan yayınların indekslerinin dağılımı “Social Science Citation Index (SSCI)” (n:734), “Science Citation Index Expended (SCI-E)” (n:710), “Art & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI)” (n:2), “Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)” (n:129) ve diğer indeksler (n:17) şeklindedir. Bibliyometrik analiz sonucunda en çok kullanılan anahtar kelimeler, yıllara göre en çok yayın, üretilen yayın ve atıf sayısı, en çok yayın ve atıf üreten yazarlar ile ülkelere ve dergilere göre yayın ve atıf sayısı temaları altında incelenmiş ve görsel haritalar ile sunulmuştur.
