Abstract

Teknoloji çağı olarak nitelendirebileceğimiz 21.yy’da, araştırmacıların internet aracılığıyla her türlü bilgiye ulaşması mümkün hale gelmiştir. Özellikle dil eğitimi ve öğretimi alanında yapılmakta olan çalışmaların yönü ve bununla birlikte araştırmacıların çalışma şekli büyük ölçüde değişmiştir. Türkiye’de Dergipark yönetim sistemi, TUBITAK ULAKBİM temelinde, Türkiye’de yayınlanan akademik dergi ve makalelerin elektronik ortamda ulaşılabilir olma ve editoryal süreç yönetimi hizmetini sunmaktadır. Temel amacı, ulusal akademik dergilerin tüm dünyada görünürlüğü ve kullanımını arttırmaktır. Bu nedenle, son 30 yılda dil alanında yayınlanmış makaleler üzerine bibliyometrik bir inceleme yapmak amacıyla dergipark yönetim sistemi kullanılmış ve toplamda 646 makale indirilerek analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın temel amacı, bu süre zarfında, dil alanında yapılmış olan çalışmaların içeriklerinin ve araştırma konularının ayrıntılı nicel bir analizini yapmaktır. Araştırma sonuçları dil alanında yapılan akademik çalışmaların güncelliğinin hızlı bir değişim içerisinde olduğunu göstermektedir.
