OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AS A DETERMINANT OF RESEARCH QUALITY: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF APPLIED SCIENCES LABORATORIES

Abstract

This study investigates the potential relationship between occupational health and safety (OHS) standards in academic laboratories and the quality of scientific research output. Using a dataset of 102 peer-reviewed publications extracted from the Scopus database between 1987 and 2025, this study conducted a bibliometric analysis to explore trends, thematic patterns, institutional contributions, and citation impacts in the context of applied sciences. Rather than analyzing OHS as a research topic, this paper adopts a structural perspective: considering how the presence or absence of OHS practices may influence research productivity, visibility, and overall impact. The results reveal a concentration of high-impact publications originating from institutions in countries with mature safety regulations and well-established research infrastructures. The study concludes by framing OHS not just as a regulatory concern but as a potentially overlooked driver of academic excellence, urging further integration of safety culture into research evaluation frameworks.

ARAŞTIRMA KALİTESİNİN BELİRLEYİCİSİ OLARAK İŞ SAĞLIĞI VE GÜVENLİĞİ: UYGULAMALI BİLİMLER LABORATUVARLARINDA BİBLİYOMETRİK BİR ANALİZ

Abstract

Bu çalışma, akademik laboratuvarlardaki iş sağlığı ve güvenliği (İSG) standartları ile bilimsel araştırma çıktılarının kalitesi arasındaki potansiyel ilişkiyi incelemektedir. 1987 ile 2025 yılları arasında Scopus veritabanından elde edilen 102 hakemli yayına dayalı olarak, uygulamalı bilimler bağlamında eğilimleri, tematik örüntüleri, kurumsal katkıları ve atıf etkilerini incelemek üzere bibliyometrik bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu makale, İSG’yi bir araştırma konusu olarak analiz etmekten ziyade, yapısal bir bakış açısı benimseyerek, İSG uygulamalarının varlığının ya da yokluğunun araştırma verimliliğini, görünürlüğünü ve etkisini nasıl etkileyebileceğini değerlendirmektedir. Sonuçlar, yüksek etkili yayınların büyük ölçüde gelişmiş güvenlik düzenlemelerine ve köklü araştırma altyapılarına sahip ülkelerdeki kurumlardan çıktığını ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, İSG’yi yalnızca bir düzenleme meselesi olarak değil, akademik mükemmeliyetin potansiyel olarak göz ardı edilmiş bir itici gücü olarak çerçeveleyerek, güvenlik kültürünün araştırma değerlendirme sistemlerine daha fazla entegre edilmesi çağrısında bulunmaktadır.
