Bibliometric Analysis of Sustainable Development Objectifs Between 2015 and 2023

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 objectives adopted by the United Nations in 2015 to protect the planet and humanity and achieve peace by 2030. 3558 studies on the theme of the SDGs carried out 2015 and 2023 were extracted and analyzed from the Thompson Reuters Web of Science Core Collection database, then examined by bibliometric scientific mapping using the VOSviewer and Biblioshiny utilities and the R database. According to the results, in terms of number of articles per country, the UK leads with 293 articles. In terms of number of citations, the USA is the biggest contributor, with 11,227 citations. In terms of authors, "Sinha A." contributed the most with 19 articles. In terms of institutions/universities, "University of London" was the top contributor with 146 articles. The main keywords such as "sustainable development goals", "climate action", "food security", "water", "economic growth" are among the themes frequently used, while terms like "Africa", "China" and "the United Nations" refer to research aimed at understanding developments in specific geographical areas.

Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedeflerinin 2015 ile 2023 Yılları Arası Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri (SKH), gezegeni ve insanlığı korumak ve 2030 yılına kadar barışa ulaşmak için 2015 yılında Birleşmiş Milletler tarafından kabul edilen 17 hedeftir. 2015-2023 yılları arasında SKH teması üzerine yapılan 3558 çalışma Thompson Reuters Web of Science Core Collection veri tabanından çıkarılmış ve analiz edilmiş, ardından VOSviewer ve Biblioshiny araçları ve R veri tabanı kullanılarak bibliyometrik bilimsel haritalama ile incelenmiştir. Sonuçlara göre, ülke başına düşen makale sayısı bakımından Birleşik Krallık 293 makale ile başı çekmektedir. Atıf sayısı bakımından ise 11 bin 227 atıfla ABD en büyük katkıyı yapan ülke konumundadır. Yazarlar açısından, "Sinha A." 19 makale ile en fazla katkıda bulunan yazar olmuştur. Kurumlar/üniversiteler açısından, Londra üniversitesi 146 makale ile en çok katkıda bulunan kurum olmuştur. "sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedefleri", "iklim eylemi", "gıda güvenliği", "su", "ekonomik büyüme" gibi sıklıkla kullanılan temalar arasında yer alırken, "Afrika", "Çin" ve "Birleşmiş Milletler" gibi terimler belirli coğrafi alanlardaki gelişmeleri anlamaya yönelik araştırmalara atıfta bulunmaktadır.

Analyse Bibliométrique des Objectifs de Développement Durable Entre 2015 et 2023

Abstract

Les objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD) sont 17 objectifs adoptés par les Nations Unies en 2015 pour protéger la planète et l’humanité et parvenir à la paix d’ici 2030. 3558 études sur le thème des ODD réalisées entre 2015 et 2023 ont été extraites et analysées à partir de la base de données Thompson Reuters Web of Science Core Collection, puis examinées par cartographie scientifique bibliométrique à l'aide des utilitaires VOSviewer et Biblioshiny et de la base de données R. Selon les résultats, en termes de nombre d'articles par pays, le Royaume-Uni arrive en tête avec 293 articles. En termes de nombre de citations, les États-Unis sont le plus grand contributeur avec 11 mille 227 citations. En ce qui concerne les auteurs, "Sinha A." a le plus contribué avec 19 articles. En termes d'institutions/universités, l’université de London a été le plus contributeur avec 146 articles. Les principaux mots-clés tels que "objectifs de développement durable", "action climatique”, " "sécurité alimentaire", « eau", "croissance économique" figurent parmi les thèmes fréquemment utilisés, tandis que des termes comme "l’Afrique", " la Chine" et "les Nations unies" renvoient à des recherches visant à comprendre les évolutions dans des zones géographiques spécifiques.
