AB  - Despite a growing number of bibliometric studies in various disciplines, there is a lack of consolidated analysis focusing on SSCI-indexed language and linguistics journals. Through a descriptive content analysis approach, this study offers a panorama of bibliometric research on SSCI-indexed language and linguistics journals. Specifically, it addresses the frequently analyzed journals, the metrics used in these studies, publication trends over the years, bibliometric differences between high- and low-impact journals, and institutional/geographical distribution of authors. Consequently, it intends to reveal under-researched journals and relevant bibliometric trends that warrant further bibliometric attention. To this end, 629 relevant journals were identified using a SCImago search. Two hundred twenty-four were validated for SSCI-indexation through the Web of Science (WoS) Master Journal List. After establishing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a keyword query was performed using the WoS Core Collection. Results indicated 18 bibliometric studies analyzing 20 journals between 1984 and 2023. Commonly used metrics showed similarities, albeit five studies with individual foci (e.g., methodological characteristics and impact factor). Most studies were multiple-authored publications, with 33.33% international collaboration. The annual scientific production peaked in 2022 and 2023 despite long-lasting stagnation and fluctuations. The bibliometrically analyzed journals had varied impact factors. Geographical distribution showed U.S. and Chinese dominance, followed by Spain. Analyses suggest a vast literature gap in bibliometric mapping of language and linguistics journals. Altogether, this analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of bibliometric practices and their implications for research evaluation in language and linguistics.

N2  - Çeşitli disiplinlerde artan sayıda bibliyometrik çalışmaya rağmen, SSCI dizinli dil ve dilbilim dergilerine odaklanan konsolide analiz eksikliği vardır. Bu çalışma, tanımlayıcı içerik analizi yaklaşımıyla SSCI dizinli dil ve dilbilim dergileri üzerine bibliyometrik araştırmaların bir panoramasını sunmaktadır. Özellikle, sıklıkla analiz edilen dergileri, bu çalışmalarda kullanılan ölçübirimleri, yıllar içindeki yayın eğilimlerini, yüksek ve düşük etkili dergiler arasındaki bibliyometrik farklılıkları ve yazarların kurumsal/coğrafi dağılımını ele almaktadır. Sonuç olarak, az araştırılmış dergileri ve daha fazla bibliyometrik dikkat gerektiren ilgili bibliyometrik eğilimleri ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, SCImago taraması kullanılarak 629 ilgili dergi belirlenmiştir. İki yüz yirmi dördü, Web of Science (WoS) Çekirdek Dergi Listesi aracılığıyla SSCI endekslemesi için doğrulanmıştır. Dahil etme ve hariç tutma kriterleri belirlendikten sonra, WoS Çekirdek Koleksiyonu kullanılarak bir anahtar kelime sorgusu gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçlar, 1984-2023 yılları arasında 20 dergiyi analiz eden 18 bibliyometrik çalışma olduğunu göstermiştir. Yaygın olarak kullanılan ölçübirimler benzerlik gösterse de (örneğin, atıf, anahtar kelime, yazarlık, bağlılık, coğrafi dağılım ve araştırma konuları analizleri), beş çalışma bireysel odaklara sahiptir (örneğin, metodolojik özellikler ve etki faktörü). Çalışmaların çoğu çok yazarlı yayınlardır ve %33,33'ü uluslararası işbirliğine dayanmaktadır. Yıllık bilimsel üretim, uzun süreli durgunluk ve dalgalanmalara rağmen 2022 ve 2023 yıllarında zirve yapmıştır. Bibliyometrik olarak analiz edilen dergilerin etki faktörleri çeşitlilik göstermiştir. Coğrafi dağılım ABD ve Çin'in baskınlığını gösterirken, onları İspanya takip etmiştir. Yazarların çoğunun dört kurumla bağlantılı olduğu bulunmuştur. Analizler dil ve dilbilim dergilerinin bibliyometrik haritalamasında büyük bir literatür boşluğu olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu analiz, genel olarak bibliyometrik uygulamaların ve dil ve dilbilimdeki araştırma değerlendirmesi için bunların çıkarımlarının daha derin bir şekilde anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunmaktadır. Gelecekteki araştırmalar, alanda daha kapsamlı ve adil değerlendirmeler sağlamak için yeterince temsil edilmeyen dergilerin sistematik bibliyometrik haritalamasına öncelik vermelidir.
