Sport Organizations in World Literature: Status and Systematic Determinants

Öz

The economic significance and development of sports have led to the determination of sports organizations as a research subject in the scientific world. From the perspective of sustainability, the continuity of sports and their innovative aspects have consistently influenced the ongoing development of sports. This research aims to systematically examine 1572 scientific studies conducted on sports organizations between 2012 and 2023 using bibliometric analysis techniques with various software programs such as R Studio and R Shiny. During the literature review, data were accessed through analyses of scientific production, average citations, journals, authors, countries, and keyword analysis. The analyses have shown that the journals in which the top researchers publish have a significant impact on the ranking of countries. This, in turn, has resulted in the emergence of a cause-and-effect relationship throughout the study. The research has highlighted the most influential countries, journals, authors, and the impact factors of authors in the field. This study reinforces the findings in the realm of sports organizations and serves as one of the initial references for future studies in the field.
