Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanından bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi kullanılarak spor diplomasisi ile ilgili yapılan araştırma makalelerini incelemek, spor diplomasisinin önemine vurgu yapmak ve yapılacak olan çalışmalara veri sağlamak amaçlanmıştır. İlk olarak WoS veri tabanından spor diplomasisi ile ilgili 107 araştırma makalesine ait verilere ulaşılmıştır. Verilerin analizi, VOSviewer paket programı ile yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonunda spor diplomasisi ile ilgili makalelerin yıllara göre dağılımı incelendiğinde; 2006 yılında ilk yayının yapıldığı, 2013 yılında yayın sayısında ciddi bir artış olduğu, 2023 yılında ise yayın sayısının zirveye çıktığı görülmüştür. Yayın sayısı ve atıf verilerine bakıldığında; 25 atıfla en çok atıf alan makale “Japan's Sporting Diplomacy: The 1964 Tokyo Olympiad”, 9 yayın ve 61 atıfla ilk sıradaki yazar “Dubinsky, Yoav”, 8 yayın ve 59 atıfla ilk sıradaki dergi “Place Branding and Public Diplomacy”, 8 yayınla ilk sırdaki kurum “Bond Univ”, 52 atıfla ilk sıradaki kurum “Univ Oregon” olmuştur. Kurumlar arası iş birliği ağında; 7 kümeyle en fazla iş birliği kırmızı renkteki kümeler, en fazla yayın ve atıf alan ülke sıralamasında; 20 yayın ve 185 atıfla ilk sıradaki ülke ABD olmuştur. Ortak anahtar kelime ağında; 9 anahtar kelime ile en fazla kelime ağı kırmızı kümeler, Yazar ortak atıf alma analizinde ise 27 yazarla en fazla atıf ağına sahip kırmızı kümeler olmuştur. Sonuç olarak, spor diplomasisi ile alakalı birçok yayın yapıldığı, yapılan yayınlarda Türkiye’nin yayın ve atıf sıralamasında dergi, makale, yazar ve kurum olarak uluslararası sıralamada oldukça yetersiz kaldığı görülmüştür.

This study examines the research articles on sports diplomacy using the bibliometric analysis method from the Wos database, to emphasize the importance of sports diplomacy and to provide data for future studies. Firstly, data belonging to 107 research articles on sports diplomacy were accessed from the WoS database. Data analysis was done with the VOSviewer package program. By analyzing the distribution of articles on sports diplomacy by years, it was seen that the first publication was revealed in 2006, there was a significant increase in the number of publications in 2013, and the number of publications peaked in 2023. The number of publications and citation data shows that; the most cited article with 25 citations was “Japan's Sporting Diplomacy: The 1964 Tokyo Olympiad”, the first ranked author with 9 publications and 61 citations was “Dubinsky, Yoav”, the first ranked journal with 8 publications and 59 citations was “Place Branding and Public Diplomacy”, the first ranked institution with 8 publications was “Bond Univ”, and the first ranked institution with 52 citations was “Univ Oregon”. In the inter-institutional collaboration network; the clusters in red have the most collaboration with 7 clusters, and in the ranking of countries with the most publications and citations; the USA was the first country with 20 publications and 185 citations. In the common keyword network; the red clusters had the highest number of keyword networks with 9 keywords, and in the author co-citation analysis, the red clusters had the highest number of citation networks with 27 authors.
