Ruminasyon Konulu Yayınların Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, 2014–2024 yılları arasında ruminasyon konusunda gerçekleştirilen akademik yayınların bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Web of Science veri tabanında gerçekleştirilen tarama sonucunda, SSCI indeksine kayıtlı ve psikoloji alanı ile ilişkili 3.148 yayın değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Dahil etme kriterleri doğrultusunda elde edilen verilerin analizi ve görselleştirilmesi için VOSviewer yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında yıllara göre yayın dağılımı, en çok atıf alan yazarlar ve yayınlar, en etkili dergiler, yazar iş birlikleri, ortak atıf ağları ve anahtar kelime kümelenmeleri incelenmiştir. Bulgular, ruminasyon literatürünün 2021 yılına kadar ivmeli bir şekilde büyüdüğünü, ardından ise belirli bir doygunluğa ulaştığını göstermektedir. En etkili yayınların büyük kısmının sistematik derleme ve meta-analiz türünde olduğu; ruminasyon ile en yoğun çalışılan kavramların ise depresyon, mindfulness ve anksiyete olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca analizler, alanın bilimsel iş birliği dinamiklerine ve kuramsal temelini oluşturan öncü yazarlara dair önemli içgörüler sunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışma, ruminasyon araştırmalarının gelişimsel yapısını haritalandırarak, gelecekteki araştırmalar için yönlendirici bir kaynak olmayı hedeflemektedir.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Publications on Rumination

Abstract

This study aims to examine academic publications on rumination between 2014 and 2024 using the bibliometric analysis method. As a result of the search conducted in the Web of Science database, 3,148 publications indexed in SSCI and related to the field of psychology were included in the analysis. The VOSviewer software was used to analyze and visualize the data obtained according to inclusion criteria. Within the scope of the study, the annual distribution of publications, the most cited authors and publications, the most influential journals, author collaborations, co-citation networks, and keyword clustering were examined. The findings indicate that the rumination literature experienced a steady growth until 2021, after which it reached a certain level of saturation. It was determined that most of the influential publications are systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and the concepts most frequently studied in relation to rumination are depression, mindfulness, and anxiety. Additionally, the analyses provide significant insights into the dynamics of scientific collaboration in the field and the pioneering authors forming its theoretical foundation. In this context, the study aims to serve as a guiding resource for future research by mapping the developmental structure of rumination studies.
