Air Logistics: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Air logistics has a significant place in logistic activities as it enables a rapid, punctual, safe and cost effective flow for goods, information and services. This study aims is to analyze papers on air logistics through bibliometrics and provide information about the literature to researchers. In this scope, studies on air logistics are descriptively analyzed and presented with the bibliometric analysis method. Data used in the study is collected through databases such as Web of Science, Scopus and EBSCO to make sure that the study proceeds. Information gathered through data obtained from studies is important because it shows the shortcomings in air logistics literature for researchers. The relevant literature was assessed and new topics and concepts were interpreted by bibliometrics. Findings indicate that the least studied fields in air logistics are; air logistics clustering, global parking in air logistics, air logistics integration, alternative area selection for air cargo, electronical arrangement on air cargo, and others. The bibliometric analysis will be beneficial for the researchers considering working in this field in terms of guiding their studies.

Hava Lojistiği: Bibliyometrik Bir Analiz

Abstract

Hava lojistiği malların, bilginin, hizmetin; hızlı, dakik, güvenli ve maliyet etkili akışını sağladığı için lojistik faaliyetler içerisinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, hava lojistiği üzerine yazılan makalelerin bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle tahlil edilmesi ve araştırmacılara bu yazınla ilgili bilgiler sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda hava lojistiği üzerine yapılan çalışmalar betimsel olarak tahlil edilmiş ve bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle sunulmuştur. Çalışmanın ilerlemesi için araştırmada kullanılan veriler, Web of Science (WOS), Scopus ve EBSCO veri tabanlarından toplanmıştır. Toplanan verilerle elde edilen bilgiler hava lojistiği yazınındaki eksikleri araştırmacılara göstermesi açısından önemlidir. Bibliyometrik analiz çalışmasıyla hem literatür ölçülmüş hem de ortaya çıkan yeni konuların, kavramların yorumlanmasına yer verilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgularda hava lojistiği ile ilgili en az çalışma yapılmış alanlar; hava lojistik kümelenmesi, hava lojistiğinde küresel park, hava lojistiği entegrasyonu, hava kargosu için alternatif meydan seçimi, hava kargosu üzerine elektronik düzenlemeler ve diğerleridir. Bu alanda çalışma yapacak araştırmacılara yol göstermesi açısından yapılan bu bibliyometrik analiz faydalı olacaktır.
