“Academic Optimism” Studies in Türkiye (2011 - 2024): A Bibliometric Analysis

Öz

The aim of this study is to examine articles on academic optimism in Türkiye, within the scope of research in the Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, Tr Index, EBSCO, and ERIC databases, using bibliometric analysis. This study analyzes the distribution of scientific publications in the field of academic optimism by year, the productivity and collaboration levels of authors, the most published sources, the keywords used, and the most frequently studied topics related to these concepts. A total of 59 articles published by Turkish researchers between 2011 and 2024 were evaluated using VOSviewer software. The findings revealed that studies on academic optimism began after 2011 and showed a significant increase, especially after 2020. Furthermore, it was determined that the concept of "leadership" is central to research in this field, followed by the themes of "school effectiveness" and "organizational commitment." Due to the limited number of similar studies conducted using bibliometric methods in the literature, it is recommended that different publication types and comparative country analyses be included in future research.

Türkiye'de “Akademik İyimserlik” Çalışmaları: Bibliyometrik Bir Analiz

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, Tr Dizin, EBSCO ve ERIC veri tabanlarında yer alan araştırmalar kapsamında Türkiye’de akademik iyimserliği konu edinen makaleleri bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle incelemektir. Bu doğrultuda araştırmada, akademik iyimserlik alanında yapılan bilimsel yayınların yıllara göre dağılımı, yazarların üretkenlik ve iş birliği düzeyleri, en çok yayın yapan kaynaklar, kullanılan anahtar kelimeler ve bu kavramlarla birlikte en sık çalışılan konular analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında 2011–2024 yılları arasında Türk araştırmacılar tarafından yayımlanan toplam 59 makale VOSviewer yazılımı aracılığıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular, akademik iyimserlik çalışmalarının 2011 yılı sonrasında başladığını ve özellikle 2020 yılı itibarıyla belirgin bir artış gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca, bu alandaki araştırmalarda “liderlik” kavramının merkezi bir konumda olduğu, bunu “okul etkililiği” ve “örgütsel bağlılık” temalarının izlediği belirlenmiştir. Alan yazında bibliyometrik yöntemle yapılmış benzer çalışmaların sınırlı olması nedeniyle, gelecekteki araştırmalarda farklı yayın türlerinin ve karşılaştırmalı ülke analizlerinin dahil edilmesi önerilmektedir.
