Turkish Contributions to the World Landslide Literature on the 100th Anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye

Abstract

The main purpose of the present study is to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye by investigating the contribution of researchers from Türkiye to the world literature on landslides. Landslides are a significant and common natural hazard in terms of both loss of life and property. Within the scope of the analysis, Web of Science records with the keywords”landslide*” and the address “Turkey or Türkiye or Turkiye” were used. Among the query results obtained, only articles and reviews were considered. As a result, 721 records were obtained and analyzed. The earliest publication addressing Türkiye was dated 1989. Although international publications on landslides in Türkiye started late, many articles addressing Türkiye have since been published in important journals such as Engineering Geology, Landslides, Environmental Earth Sciences, Computers & Geosciences, and Natural Hazard. While a limited number of articles were published in the 1990s, there was a significant increase in the number of articles in the 2000s, at one point reaching 66 in 2020. These articles were cited on average 33.73 times, a very high number, indicating the success of researchers from Türkiye. Indeed, the total citations of the 10 most cited articles range from 630-339, which is extraordinarily high. On the other hand, 12.6% of articles from Türkiye were not cited at all. As a result, considering both the quality and quantity of the articles and the number of citations, it is understood that landslide-related publications from Türkiye have had a significant impact on the international literature.

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin 100. Yılında Türkiye Adresli Yayınların Dünya Heyelan Literatürüne Katkısı

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin 100. Yılında Türkiye açısından neden olduğu can ve mal kayıpları açısından önemli ve yaygın bir doğal tehlike olan heyelanlar konusunda Türkiye adresli araştırmaların Dünya literatürüne katkısı incelenmesidir. İnceleme kapsamında Web of Science kayıtları kullanılmış, adres olarak “Turkey veya Türkiye veya Türkiye”, bütün alanlarda ise “landslide*” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sorgu sonuçlarından sadece makale ve derleme çalışmaları dikkate alınmıştır. Sonuçta 721 adet kayıt elde edilmiş ve bu kayıtlar incelenmiştir. Türkiye adresli ilk yayın 1989 tarihlidir. Türkiye’de heyelan konulu uluslararası yayınlar geç başlamasına rağmen, alanının önemli dergileri olan Engineering Geology, Landslides, Environmental Earth Sciences, Computers & Geosciences ve Natural Hazard gibi dergilerde Türkiye adresli çok sayıda makale yayınlanmıştır. 1990’larda sınırlı sayıda makale yayınlanmışken, 2000’li yıllarda makale sayısında ciddi artış olmuş, 2020 yılında 66 sayısına ulaşmıştır. Makalelerin ortalama atıfı 33.73 gibi oldukça yüksek bir sayıya ulaşmış, Türkiye adresli araştırmacılar önemli bir başarı göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte, en çok atıf alan 10 makalenin toplam atıfı 630-339 arasında olup, olağanüstü yüksektir. Buna karşın, Türkiye adresli makalelerin %12.6’sı hiç atıf almamıştır. Sonuçta, makalelerin gerek nitelik ve niceliği gerekse atıf sayısı dikkate alındığında, Türkiye adresli heyelanla ilişkili yayınların uluslararası literatürde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğu anlaşılmaktadır.
