Abstract

This study was conducted to reveal the structure of Selçuk University's (SU) scientific productivity in academic studies. Scientific articles in English associated with SU were obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) database for the period 2019-2023 and analyzed with VOSviewer Statistical Analysis Program. Performance analysis indicated that SU is most frequently associated with academic articles indexed in the “SCI-EXPANDED” index in the fields of “Chemistry”, “Engineering”, “General Internal Medicine”, “Agriculture” and “Food Technology” in “2021”. The analysis of SU's scientific productivity was carried out in the context of co-authorship, authors, universities, and countries. The findings indicated that “Zengin, G.,” “SU,” and “Turkey” ranked first in terms of articles, citations, and total link strength. It was also concluded that “Zengin, G.” had the highest number of scientific collaborations with “Mahomoodally, M.F.”, “SU” with “Necmettin Erbakan University” and “Turkey” with “Italy”.
