SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW OF 21st CENTURY MARITIME SILK ROAD: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS

Abstract

One Belt One Road project cover approximately sixty-five percent of the world population and One Road is the main site of the project, including the sea route. The purpose of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road is to increase the trade volume between western and eastern ports, especially Chinese ports. Maritime Silk Road (MSR) will also help economic cooperation between participating countries and increase connectivity between ports located through the route of the project. There is only one OBOR related review article in the literature however, there is no MSR review article. To fill this gap, the main aim of this study is to find out and examine MSR-related articles that contain a perspective of the context, vision, and geographical coverage of the initiative in terms of Bibliometric Analysis factors. The systematic literature review has been applied to obtain secondary data from Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Springer link websites to create our sample. Hsieh and Shannon's (2005) method was applied in this review article as a qualitative research approach. In the research process of the study, 45 out of 224 articles were selected to cover our main research objectives. As a result, this study provides categorization analysis to classify selected 45 MSR articles that cover different subjects such as transport infrastructure, challenges, and opportunities of MSR, maritime security, port network, transport connectivity, environmental issues. Besides, evaluation of the articles year by year that forms our sample was given in a detailed way in the research. The main contribution of this study is grouping the selected MSR articles in terms of their subjects and explaining common points to give ideas to researchers about the studied and unstudied subjects related to the MSR initiative. For future research, academics and researchers may focus on the methodologies of the MSR-related articles.

21. YÜZYIL DENİZ İPEK YOLUNUN SİSTEMATİK LİTERATÜR DERLEMESİ: BİBLİYOMETRİK BİR ANALİZ

Abstract

Bir Kuşak Bir Yol projesi dünya nüfusunun yaklaşık olarak yüzde altmış beşini kapsamaktadır ve Tek Yol, deniz yolunu içine dahil eden projenin ana kısmıdır. 21. Yüzyıl Deniz İpek Yolu'nun amacı, başta Çin limanları olmak üzere batı ve doğu limanları arasındaki ticaret hacmini artırmaktır. Deniz İpek Yolu (DİY) ayrıca katılımcı ülkeler arasında ekonomik işbirliğine yardımcı olacak ve proje güzergâhı boyunca bulunan limanlar arasındaki bağlanabilirlik oranını artıracaktır. Literatürde BKBY ile ilgili tek bir derleme makalesi vardır ancak DİY derleme makalesi yoktur.Bu boşluğu doldurmak için, çalışmanın temel amacı, Bibliyometrik Analiz faktörleri açısından girişimin bağlamı, vizyonu ve coğrafi kapsamı ve perspektifini içeren MSR ile ilgili makaleleri bulmaktır ve analiz etmektir.Örneklemimizi oluşturmak için Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science ve Springer bağlantılı web sitelerinden ikincil veriler elde edilerek sistematik literatür taraması uygulandı. Bu derleme literatür taramasında, nitel araştırma yaklaşımı olarak Hsieh ve Shannon (2005) yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın araştırma sürecinde 224 makaleden 45'i temel araştırma hedeflerimizi kapsayacak şekilde seçilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma, ulaştırma altyapısı, Deniz İpek Yolu’nun zorlukları ve fırsatları, deniz güvenliği, liman ağı, ulaşım bağlantısı, çevre sorunları gibi farklı konuları kapsayan seçilmiş 45 DİY makalesini sınıflandırmak için kategorizasyon analizi sağlar. Ayrıca araştırmada örneklemimizi oluşturan makalelerin yıldan yıla değerlendirilmesi detaylı bir şekilde verilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın literatüre ana katkısı, DİY girişimi ile ilgili çalışılan ve çalışılmayan konular hakkında araştırmacılara fikir vermek için seçilen DİY makalelerini konuları açısından gruplamak ve ortak noktalarını açıklamaktır. Gelecekteki araştırmalar için, akademisyenler ve araştırmacılar DİY ile ilgili makalelerin metodolojilerine odaklanabilir.
