Bibliometric Analysis of the International Journal in Wood Science Using Visualization Mapping Method

Öz

This study aims to reveal the bibliometric profile of documents in an international journal in the field of wood science. For this purpose, Drvna Industrija journal was chosen as the journal and two bibliometric methods were used: performance analysis and science mapping. Within the scope of performance analysis, the publication trends of the journal, the most cited articles, the most productive countries, organizations and authors were determined with the help of data obtained from the Web of Science database on February 01, 2024. With the mapping method, a graphic version of co-authorship, citation, bibliographic coupling, co-occurrence of authors' keywords, co-occurrence of terms in the abstract field and co-citation were obtained. Vosviewer software was used to visualize the data. The scope of the study consisted of 633 documents published in the Drvna Industrija journal between 2008 and 2023. Based on the data obtained, the highest number of documents was published in 2016. Authors from 49 different countries and 6 continents contributed to the journal. When the cooperation of the countries was examined, the countries that cooperated the most with other countries were Turkey and Slovenia. The organization that contributed the most to the journal was the University of Zagreb, and it was determined that this university had the strongest bibliographic coupling network with Mendel University in Brno. The majority of the studies in the journal were conducted as a result of team research. It has been observed that Bioresources is the source that cites Drvna Industrija journal the most, and the self-citation rate of the journal is also quite high. 2024 different keywords were used in the journal, and the most used keyword is wood. Trending topics in Drvna Industrija journal are heat-treated wood, artificial neural network, oriented strand board and decay resistance, in recent years. Finally, the most frequently used co-occurrence of term in the abstract field of documents in the journal was the paper term. Therefore; this research is a study that provides an overview of the leading trends and researchers of the journal during the period under review.
