Abstract

Suç ekonomisi temel ekonomik sorunlar ve amaçlarla doğrudan alakalı konulara odaklanmakta ve geleneksel çalışma alanlarına göre daha özgün araştırma olanakları sunmaktadır. Özellikle ekonomik kalkınma dinamikleri açısından çok yönlü bir bakış açısıyla geniş bir inceleme alanı sunmaktadır. Daha önce bu alanda yapılmış çalışmalar, bu çalışmaların odaklandığı anahtar kavramlar, bu konulara odaklanmış araştırmacılar, konunun çalışıldığı ülke veya kurumlar, çalışmaların yayınlandığı dergiler arasındaki bağlantılar ve çalışmaların yararlandığı kaynaklar arasındaki benzerlikler suç ekonomisi alanında literatürün nasıl şekillendiği ve ne gibi potansiyel boşlukların yakalanabileceğine dair önemli ipuçları sağlamaktadır. Bunun için bibliyometrik literatür analizi, önde gelen dergileri, yazarları, makaleleri, anahtar kelimeleri, kurumları, ülkeleri, ortak yazarlığı, ortak alıntıyı, ortak oluşumu ve bibliyografik eşleşmeleri belirlemek ve sınıflandırmak için iyi ve pratik bir yöntem olarak tanımlamaktadır. Çünkü bu sayede mevcut ve gelecekteki araştırmacıların analiz edilen konunun yeni boyutlarını keşfetmelerini sağlar. Ayrıca mevcut kaynaklar ve bunların entelektüel yapılarının daha geniş bir değerlendirmesini sağlayarak araştırılan konu hakkında daha derin bakış açısı sağlayarak, bilgi akışı ve fikirlerin yayılımını izlemek için uygun bir zemin hazırlar. Bu sebeple, mevcut çalışma HistCite ve VOSviewer yazılımlarıyla suç ekonomisi alanında 1980-2021 döneminde Web of Science indeksli kaynaklarda yayımlanmış çalışmaların bibliyometrik analizini gerçekleştirmiştir. Analiz bulguları ve görseller sonraki araştırmalar için daha özgün çalışma alanları, kişi, kurum veya ülke bazlı iş birlikleri, dergi ve konu seçimi, odaklanılacak anahtar kelimeler konusunda yol gösterici olacaktır.

A General Framework for Crime Economics and Bibliometric Literature Analysis

Abstract

Crime economics focuses on issues directly related to basic economic problems and objectives and offers original research opportunities. It offers a wide range of research perspective, especially in terms of economic development dynamics. The similarities between previous studies in this field, the key concepts that these studies focus on, researchers focused on these subjects, the countries or institutions where the subject is studied, the links between the journals in which the studies are published, and the similarities between the sources used by the studies are important to see how the literature in the field of crime economics is shaped and what potential gaps can be captured. For this, bibliometric literature analysis identifies as a good and practical way for identifying and classifying leading journals, authors, articles, keywords, institutions, countries, co-authorship, co-citation, co-occurrence, and bibliographic matches. Because it enables current and future researchers to explore new dimensions of the analyzed research field. It also provides a broader assessment of the available resources and their intellectual structures, providing a deeper perspective on the subject under investigation, thus laying the groundwork for monitoring the flow of information and the diffusion of ideas. For this reason, the present study carried out a bibliometric analysis of the studies published in Web of Science indexed sources in the period of 1980-2021 in the field of crime economics. Findings and visualisations will guide further research on more specific fields of study, collaborations based on individuals, institutions or countries, selection of journals and topics, and keywords to focus on.
