Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of publications related to Turkey-Azerbaijan economic relations and cooperation spanning the years 1997 to 2022. Utilizing the Web of Science academic database with specific keywords such as "Turkey-Azerbaijan economic cooperation" and "Turkey-Azerbaijan economic relations," the research identified and analyzed 39 relevant publications. The research involves a comprehensive exploration of bibliometric data, encompassing aspects like bibliographic coupling, citation, co-citation, co-cited references, authors, topics, and research methodologies. The research comprises distinct sections, encompassing a concise review of literature focused on the economic relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan, additionally, it includes a thorough exploration of literature studies and bibliometric analyses related to the economic ties between these two nations. The research further incorporates an elucidation of the bibliometric analysis process and concludes with a section dedicated to evaluating the findings. The majority of publications, approximately 82%, are in the form of articles, with proceedings papers, reviews, and editorial materials contributing to the remainder. Keyword analysis revealed terms like "Turkey" and "Azerbaijan", "energy," "Caucasus," "Kazakhstan," "Russia," "pipeline," "oil," and "gas". Regarding research methods, qualitative research emerged as the preferred approach for review methods. The research findings also pointed to a notable inclination towards single-author contributions, a tendency likely influenced by the utilization of qualitative research methods. Conversely, studies adopting quantitative methods frequently involved multiple authors, often ranging from three to four. In conclusion, the research underscores the need for a more comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and quantitative examination of Turkey-Azerbaijan economic relations.

Türkiye - Azerbaycan Ekonomik İlişkileri Üzerine Bibliyometrik Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Bu çalışma, 1997-2022 yıllarını kapsayan, Türkiye-Azerbaycan ekonomik ilişkileri ve iş birliğine ilişkin yayınların kapsamlı bir bibliyometrik analizini sunmaktadır. Web of Science akademik veritabanından "Türkiye-Azerbaycan ekonomik iş birliği" ve "Türkiye-Azerbaycan ekonomik iş birliği" gibi spesifik anahtar kelimelerden yararlanılarak ilgili 39 yayını belirledi ve analiz edildi. Araştırma, bibliyografik eşleştirme, alıntı, ortak alıntı, ortak alıntı yapılan referanslar, yazarlar, konular ve araştırma metodolojileri gibi hususları kapsayan bibliyometrik verilerin kapsamlı bir incelemesini içermektedir. Araştırma, Türkiye ile Azerbaycan arasındaki ekonomik ilişkilere odaklanan literatürün kısa bir incelemesini içermekte, ayrıca bu iki ülke arasındaki ekonomik bağlara ilişkin literatür çalışmalarının kapsamlı bir incelemesini ve bibliyometrik analizleri içermektedir. Araştırma ayrıca bibliyometrik analiz sürecinin açıklamasını da içeriyor ve bulguların değerlendirilmesine ayrılmış bir bölümle sonuçlanıyor. Yayınların çoğunluğu, yaklaşık % 82'si makale türünde olup geri kalanında bildiriler, incelemeler ve editoryal materyaller katkıda bulunmaktadır. Anahtar kelime analizi "Türkiye" ve "Azerbaycan", "enerji", "Kafkaslar", "Kazakistan", "Rusya", "boru hattı", "petrol" ve "gaz" gibi terimleri ortaya çıkarmıştır. Araştırma yöntemleriyle ilgili olarak, özellikle inceleme yöntemleri için tercih edilen nitel araştırma yaklaşımı ön plandaydı. Çalışma ayrıca, muhtemelen nitel araştırma yönteminin kullanımına atfedilen, tek yazarlı yayın tercihini de ortaya koymaktadır. Tersine, niceliksel yöntemleri benimseyen çalışmalar sıklıkla birden fazla yazar -genellikle üç ile dört arasında sayıları değişen- iş birliği içermekteydi. Sonuç olarak araştırma, Türkiye-Azerbaycan ekonomik ilişkilerinin daha kapsamlı, disiplinler arası ve niceliksel olarak incelenmesi ihtiyacının altını çizmektedir.
