Web of Science Veri Tabanına Dayalı Bibliyometrik Analiz: Uzamsal Düşünme, Uzamsal Görselleştirme ve Uzamsal Yetenek

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanına dayalı olarak uzamsal düşünme, uzamsal görselleştirme ve uzamsal yetenek konularında yayımlanmış makalelerin bibliyometrik analizini yapmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, 1980 yılından günümüze 3114 makale yayınlanma yıllarına, ülkelere, WoS kategorilerine, yazarlara, kurumlara, dergilere, en çok atıf alanlara, ortak yazarlara, ortak anahtar kelimelere, kaynakça eşleşmelerine ve ortak atıflara göre incelenmiştir. Çalışmada, performans ve bilimsel alan haritalama analizleri kullanılmıştır. Verilerin elde edilmesinde Web of Science™ Core Collection veri tabanı, ağ analizlerinde ise VOSviewer programı kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın performans analizine göre, belirlenen konulardaki makalelerin yıllara göre artış eğiliminde olduğu, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, İngiltere ve Kanada’da daha fazla çalışma yapıldığı belirlenmiştir. WoS kategorileri içerisinden Psychology Experimental, Psychology Multidisciplinary ile Education Educational Research kategorileri ön plana çıkmaktadır. Hegarty, M., Jansen, P. ile Newcombe, N. S. yazarları belirlenen konularda daha fazla çalışma yapmıştır. Kurumlar bazında, University of California System ile Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education Pcshe dergiler bazında Perceptual and Motor Skills ve Intelligence ön plana çıkmaktadır. Yazarlar bağlamında bağlantı gücü en fazla olan kişiler Hegarty, M. ve Newcombe, N. S. iken ülkeler bağlamında bağlantı gücü en fazla olan devletler Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve İngiltere olmuştur. En fazla ortak anahtar kelime uzamsal yetenek olurken University of California Santa Barbara kaynakça eşleşmesinde en fazla bağlantı gücüne sahip kurum olmuştur.

Bibliometric Analysis Based on Web of Science Database: Spatial Thinking, Spatial Visualization and Spatial Ability

Abstract

This study aims to conduct bibliometric analyses of published articles on spatial thinking, spatial visualization, and spatial ability based on the Web of Science (WoS) database. In this direction, 3114 articles from 1980 to the present were examined according to publication years, countries, WoS categories, authors, institutions, journals, most cited, co-authors, co-keywords, bibliographic coupling, and co-citations. In the study, performance and scientific field mapping analyzes were used. Web of Science™ Core Collection database was used to obtain data, and the VOSviewer program was used for network analysis. According to the performance analysis of the study, it was determined that the articles on the identified issues tended to increase over the years, and more studies were conducted in USA, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Among the WoS categories, Psychology Experimental, Psychology Multidisciplinary and Education Educational Research categories come to the fore. The authors of Hegarty, M., Jansen, P., and Newcombe, N. S. have done further work on the identified issues. In the context of institutions, the University of California System, and Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education Perthe, in the context of journals, Perceptual and Motor Skills and Intelligence come to the fore. Hegarty, M. and Newcombe, N. S. had the highest linking power in the context of the authors, while the states with the most increased connectivity in the context of countries were the USA and the United Kingdom. The most co-keywords were spatial ability, while the University of California Santa Barbara had the most linking strength in bibliographic coupling.
