Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, “bilinçsiz önyargı” konusundaki uluslararası literatürü bibliyometrik yöntemlerle incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Yöntem: Bu bağlamda, bilinçsiz önyargıya dair temel araştırma konuları, önemli iş birliği ağları ve en etkili çalışmaları ortaya koymak hedeflenmiştir. Bibliyometrik analiz, Web of Science veri tabanından elde edilen ve 1996-2023 yılları arasında yayımlan 474 makale üzerinden gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, R programlama dilinde “bibliometrix” paket programı kullanılarak performans analizine tabi tutulmuş ve bilimsel haritalama teknikleri uygulanmıştır. Performans analizlerinde, makale sayısı, en üretken dergiler, araştımacılar, üniversiteler ve ülkeler gibi metrikler değerlendirilmiştir. Bilimsel haritalamada ise kavramsal konuların birlikte oluşum ağı, ortak atıf yapılan makaleler ve yazarlar arasındaki ilişki ağları, makale üreten yazarlar ve ülkeler arasındaki iş birliği ağlarına odaklanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Analiz sonuçları, 1996-2023 yılları arasında bilinçsiz önyargı konusundaki makale sayısında önemli bir artış olduğunu göstermektedir. Özellikle 2012 yılından itibaren makale sayısında belirgin bir artış gözlemlenmiştir. En fazla makale yayımlayan dergi “Journal of Experimental Social Psychology” olurken, en üretken araştırmacılar arasında John Francis Dovidio, Payne B. Keith ve Nilanjana Dasgupta’nın yer aldığı görülmüştür. Bilinçsiz önyargılar ile ilgili yayınlarda Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin, 334 makale ile en fazla yayına sahip ülke olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Analizler ayrıca, araştırma konusundaki iş birliği ağlarının ve atıf yapılan çalışmaların disiplinler arası doğasını da ortaya koymuştur.
Sonuç: Bilinçsiz önyargı araştırmalarının, yıllar içinde giderek artan bir ilgi gördüğü ve bu konuyla ilgili disiplinler arası bir yaklaşımın benimsendiği anlaşılmıştır. Bilinçsiz önyargı üzerine yapılan çalışmaların toplumsal ve akademik öneminin giderek arttığı ve bu konunun geniş bir yelpazede ele alındığı görülmüştür.

Bibliometric Analysis of International Academic Studies on Unconscious Bias

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the international literature on “unconscious bias” using bibliometric methods.
Method: The study seeks to uncover the main research topics, significant collaboration networks, and the most influential studies on unconscious bias. The bibliometric analysis was conducted on 474 articles published between 1996 and 2023, obtained from the Web of Science database. The data were subjected to performance analysis using the “bibliometrix” package in the R programming language, and scientific mapping techniques were applied. Performance analyses evaluated metrics such as the number of articles, the most productive journals, researchers, universities, and countries. Scientific mapping focused on the co-occurrence network of conceptual topics, the networks of co-cited articles and authors, and the collaboration networks among authors and countries producing articles.
Results: The analysis results indicate a marked growth in the volume of articles on unconscious bias from 1996 to 2023, with a particularly sharp increase beginning in 2012. The “Journal of Experimental Social Psychology” emerged as the leading journal publishing these articles. The most productive researchers included John Francis Dovidio, Payne B. Keith, and Nilanjana Dasgupta. The United States was found to be the leading country with the most publications, having 334 articles on unconscious bias. The analyses also revealed the interdisciplinary nature of the collaboration networks and the cited studies in this research area.
Conclusion: Research on unconscious bias has evidently attracted growing interest over the years, embracing an interdisciplinary approach. The studies on unconscious bias are increasingly recognized for their social and academic importance and are approached from a broad perspective.
