TY - JOUR T1 - A Bibliometric Analysis of Mountain Research Literature on Journal of Mountain Research and Development: Current Situation and Future Directions TT - Mountain Research and Development Dergisi Üzerinden Dağ Araştırması Literatürünün Bibliyometrik Analizi: Mevcut Durum ve Gelecek Yönelimler AU - Güney, İsmet AU - Altundal Öncü, Merve AU - Göközkut, Burcu AU - Somuncu, Mehmet PY - 2024 DA - January DO - 10.26650/JGEOG2023-1266239 JF - Journal of Geography PB - İstanbul Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 1305-2128 SP - 135 EP - 147 IS - 47 LA - en AB - Academic studies on mountains have increased since the 1990s. The aim of this study is to examine the current situation and development of the international literature on mountainous areas. The Mountain Research and Development Journal was determined as a sample and formed the data set of 1574 articles published in the journal. Network analysis method was applied using VOSviewer v.1.6 program. To conduct the research, only the terms in the keywords were used as the unit of analysis. In this context, frequency, relationality, clustering and time trend analyses were performed, respectively. When the clustering of the most used concepts in the keywords of the articles published in the MRD journal according to the network analysis was examined, eight clusters were determined. It turned out that the most frequently used concept among these clusters was “climate change”. When the time trend is examined according to the network analysis of the concepts, studies on the effects of climate change have gained importance, especially in the last 10 years. Where there are conceptual transformations in the studies carried out on mountain slopes in certain years, anthropic emphases have come to the forefront rather than natural conditions. KW - Mountain Research KW - Bibliometric Analysis KW - Network Analysis N2 - Özellikle 1990’lı yıllardan itibaren dağla ilgili akademik çalışmalar artmıştır. Araştırmanın amacı, dağlık alanlarla ilgili uluslararası literatürün mevcut durumunu ve gelişimini incelemektir. Dağ Araştırma ve Geliştirme Dergisi örneklem olarak belirlenmiş ve dergide yayınlanan 1574 makalenin veri setini oluşturmuştur. Ağ analiz yöntemi VOSviewer v.1.6 programı kullanılarak uygulanmıştır. Araştırmayı yürütmek için sadece anahtar kelimelerdeki terimler analiz birimi olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda sırasıyla frekans, ilişkisellik, kümeleme ve zaman trendi analizleri yapılmıştır. MRD dergisinde yayınlanan makalelerin anahtar kelimelerinde en çok kullanılan kavramların ağ analizine göre kümelenmesi incelendiğinde sekiz küme belirlenmiştir. Bu kümeler arasında en sık kullanılan kavramın “iklim değişikliği” olduğu ortaya çıktı. Kavramların ağ analizine göre zaman trendi incelendiğinde, belirli yıllarda dağ yamaçlarında yapılan çalışmalarda kavramsal dönüşümlerin yaşandığı özellikle son 10 yılda iklim değişikliğinin etkilerine yönelik çalışmalar önem kazanmıştır. zaman içinde doğal koşullardan çok antropik vurgular ön plana çıkmıştır.
