Abstract

Starting from the city of Wuhan in China in March 2020, the Covid-19 virus, which spread all over the world in a short time, affected many areas globally. With the declaration of the epidemic worldwide, a red alert was issued in the national and international community. The significant impact of the restrictions applied to slow the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic, as in many other sectors, has also manifested itself in the economy sector. The maritime industry, which constitutes the most important part of international trade, was caught unprepared for this unexpected epidemic. The purpose of this study is to bibliometrically analyze the articles written on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on maritime logistics and ports. Web of Science database was used to conduct the study and 29 articles were reached. The articles were examined in detail in terms of number of publications, keyword analysis, author and journal information, and citation analysis. It is aimed that the results of the bibliometric study will guide future studies in this field.

COVID-19'un Deniz Lojistiği ve Limanlar Üzerindeki Etkisinin Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Mart 2020'de Çin'in Wuhan kentinden başlayarak kısa sürede tüm dünyaya yayılan Covid-19 virüsü, dünya genelinde birçok alanı etkisi altına aldı. Salgının dünya çapında ilan edilmesiyle birlikte ulusal ve uluslararası toplumda kırmızı alarm verildi. Covid-19 salgınının yayılmasını yavaşlatmak için uygulanan kısıtlamaların etkisi birçok alanda olduğu gibi ekonomi alanında da kendini gösterdi. Uluslararası ticaretin en önemli bölümünü oluşturan denizcilik sektörü bu beklenmedik salgına hazırlıksız yakalandı. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Covid-19 pandemisinin deniz lojistiği ve limanlar üzerindeki etkisi üzerine yazılan makaleleri bibliyometrik olarak incelemektir. Çalışmanın yürütülmesinde Web of Science veri tabanı kullanılmış ve 29 makaleye ulaşılmıştır. Makaleler, yayın sayısı, anahtar kelime analizi, yazar ve dergi bilgileri ve atıf analizi açısından detaylı olarak incelenmiştir. Bibliyometrik çalışmanın sonuçlarının gelecekte bu alanda yapılacak çalışmalara yön vermesi hedeflenmektedir.
