Bibliometric Analysis of Articles on the Scientific Position of Tourism

Abstract

The aim of the research is to analyze the articles on the scientific position of tourism, to determine its bibliometric characteristics and to determine the trends in the body of knowledge with a descriptive approach. In addition, according to the findings, it is aimed to create an evaluation on the reflections of the development of English articles on Turkish articles. For this purpose, 91 articles, which were determined by searching the Google Scholar and DergiPark Academic databases with the keywords of the research, were analyzed according to certain parameters. As a result, it has been seen that the examined articles have the quality of academic studies prepared based on the conceptual framework, English articles with a longer history in terms of formation form the basis of Turkish articles, and the intensity of the tendency towards the 'multidisciplinary' opinion in English articles is also reflected in the Turkish articles.

Turizmin Bilimsel Konumuyla İlgili Makalelerin Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, turizmin bilimsel konumu ile ilgili makalelerin bibliyometrik özelliklerinin saptanması ve ilgili literatürdeki eğilimlerin betimleyici bir yaklaşımla belirlenmesidir. Ayrıca elde edilen bulgulara göre İngilizce makalelerin gelişiminin Türkçe makalelere olan yansımalarına ilişkin bir değerlendirmenin oluşturulması hedeflenmektedir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Google Scholar ve DergiPark Akademik veri tabanlarında araştırmanın anahtar kelimeleri ile yapılan tarama ile belirlenen 91 makale, belirli parametrelere göre analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma neticesinde, incelenen makalelere dayalı olarak oluşan kavramsal çerçevenin akademik çalışma niteliğine sahip olduğu, İngilizce makalelerden tarihsel olarak daha eski olanlarının Türkçe makalelere temel oluşturduğu ve turizmin bilimsel konumuna ilişkin görüşlerde ise İngilizce makalelerdeki ‘çok disiplinli’ görüşe yönelik eğilimin Türkçe literatüre de yansıdığı görülmüştür.
