A Bibliometric Research in Web of Science Database: Articles on Occupational Safety

Abstract

Occupational health and safety attracts the attention of many researchers from different fields of study due to its interdisciplinary nature. Elimination of physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, psychosocial and similar hazards in the work area is possible with occupational health and safety activities. In this research, the bibliometric features of the articles written in the field of occupational safety, which are included in the SCI, SSCI and A&HCI citation indexes in the Web of Science database, were examined. As a result of the analysis, a data set of 8,271 articles in the field of occupational safety was created and the data were presented in the form of tables and figures. VOSviewer software was used to analyze and visualize the relationships between keywords, commonly cited journals, authors, and sources. The most used keyword is the word "job security", which gives the field its name. It has been observed that a total of 24,410 authors contributed to this field and 1,909 journals were the source of the articles. It was determined that the country with the highest number of publications was “USA”, the author with the highest contribution was “Arcury”, the journal with the highest number of articles was “Safety Science” and the most effective institution was “Center for Disease Control Prevention”. In this study, the network maps, keywords, publications and related issues of the studies in the field of occupational safety were examined with the current literature

Web of Science Veri Tabanında Bibliyometrik Bir Araştırma: İş Güvenliği Makaleleri

Abstract

İş sağlığı ve güvenliği, disiplinler arası doğası nedeniyle farklı çalışma alanlarından pek çok araştırmacının ilgisini çekmektedir. Çalışma alanında bulunan fiziksel, kimyasal, biyolojik, ergonomik, psikososyal ve benzeri tehlikelerin ortadan kaldırılması iş sağlığı ve güvenliği faaliyetleri ile mümkün olmaktadır. Bu araştırmada, Web of Science veri tabanında SCI, SSCI ve A&HCI atıf indeksleri içerisinde yer alan, iş güvenliği alanında yazılmış makalelerinin bibliyometrik özellikleri incelenmiştir. Analiz sonucunda iş güvenliği alanında 8.271 makale veri seti oluşturulmuş olup veriler tablolar ve şekiller biçiminde sunulmuştur. Anahtar kelimeler, ortak atıf yapılan dergiler, yazarlar ve kaynaklar arasındaki ilişkileri analiz etmek ve görselleştirmek için VOSviewer yazılımı kullanılmıştır. En fazla kullanılan anahtar kelime, alana ismini veren “iş güvenliği” kelimesidir. Bu alana toplam 24.410 yazarın katkı sağladığı ve makalelere 1.909 derginin kaynaklık yaptığı görülmüştür. En fazla yayın yapan ülkenin “ABD”, en fazla katkı yapan yazarın “Arcury”, en fazla makale yayınlanan derginin “Safety Science” ve en etkin kurumun “Center for Disease Control Prevantion” olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma ile iş güvenliği alanında yapılan çalışmaların ağ haritaları, anahtar kelimeler, yayınlar ve ilişkili konular güncel literatürle incelenmiştir.
