Abstract

The aim of this study is to present a holistic perspective on the subject by identifying the studies in the tourism literature on the Covid-19 pandemic, which affects the whole world and causes serious changes in every field. For this purpose, 273 articles on the concept of tourism and Covid-19 published in the Scopus database between 2019 and 2021 were analysed using the bibliometric analysis method. The findings of the study were evaluated through citation analysis, co-citation analysis, co-authorship analysis, bibliographic coupling analysis, and co-occurrence analysis. VOSviewer software was used in the analysis of the obtained data. According to the findings, it was determined that the USA and China were the countries that contributed the most to the literature. In addition, the bibliometric analysis results provide important information about the most cited studies and authors on the subject of Covid-19 in the tourism literature, the countries with which the authors have published the most, common citation analysis and the most used keywords. The present study enables the identification of major research themes in the Covid-19 tourism literature and contributes to the development of future research directions.

TURİZM VE COVİD-19: ULUSLARARASI ALANYAZIN ÜZERİNE BİBLİYOMETRİK BİR ANALİZ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, tüm dünyayı etkisine alan ve her alanda ciddi değişikliklere yol açan Covid-19 pandemisine yönelik uluslararası turizm literatüründe yapılan çalışmaları tespit ederek konuyla ilgili yapılmış çalışmalara yönelik bütüncül bir bakış açısı sunmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Scopus veri tabanında 2019-2021 yılları arasında yayımlanan turizm ve Covid-19 kavramına yönelik 273 makale bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları, atıf analizi, ortak atıf analizi, ortak yazarlık analizi, bibliyografik eşleştirme analizi ve ortak varlık analizi aracılığıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde VOSviewer yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, ABD ve Çin’in alan yazına en fazla katkısı olan ülkeler olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bunun yanında bibliyometrik analiz sonuçları turizm alan yazınında Covid-19 konusuna yönelik en çok atıf alan çalışma ve yazarlar, yazarların birlikte en fazla yayın yaptıkları ülkeler, ortak atıf analizi ve en fazla kullanılan anahtar kelimelere yönelik önemli bilgiler sunmaktadır. Mevcut çalışma Covid-19 turizm literatüründeki ana araştırma temalarının belirlenmesine olanak sunmakta ve gelecekteki araştırma yönelimlerinin geliştirilmesine katkıda bulunmaktadır.
