Sosyal Bilimlerde Gözetim Toplumu Alanyazını: 1984-2023 Yılları Arasında Yayımlanmış Makaleler Üzerine Bibliyometrik Bir Çözümleme

Abstract

Amaç: Gözetim toplumu konusuna dair önemli yayınların yer aldığı Scopus veri tabanından çekilen verilerin bilimsel bir yaklaşımla tarihsel durumunu ortaya koymak, alandaki üretkenliği farklı değişkenler üzerinden açıklamak ve öncü durumda olan kaynak ve yazarları sunmak amaçlanmaktadır. Yöntem: Scopus veri tabanı üzerinden sosyal bilimler alanındaki gözetim toplumu literatürünün dönüşümü bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi ile incelenmiş, literatürün etki ve üretkenliği farklı temalar üzerinden ortaya konmuştur. Bu temalar; yazarların, ülkelerin ve dergilerin üretkenlik düzeyleri, anahtar kelime kullanım durumu, en fazla ortak atıf alan yazarlardır. İnceleme VOSwiever programı ile yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Toplam 585 İngilizce makale üzerinden yapılan bibliyometrik analizin sonucuna göre; gözetim toplumu konusuna yönelik literatürün 1984-2007 yılları arasında istikrarlı bir gelişim gösterdiği ve 2008 itibari ile yükselişe geçtiği görülmüştür. Literatüre ABD ve Birleşik Krallık’ın hakim olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak son zamanlarda sosyal bilimler alanında gözetim toplumu konulu çalışmaların sayısının arttığı ve çalışma başlıklarının ise çeşitlendiği görülmüştür.
