Mass gatherings are events where a significant number of individuals gather in a specific location for a common purpose, such as cultural festivals, sports events, religious gatherings, political rallies, and concerts. While studies on mass gathering events have garnered global attention, there has been a lack of published bibliometric research on this subject. To address this gap, this study aimed to examine the bibliometric analysis and visualization of the current literature on mass gathering events. In this study, articles were compiled by conducting a search with the keyword "mass gathering*" in the Web of Science database, without applying any exclusion criteria. Performance evaluation, science mapping, and network mapping techniques were employed for bibliometric analysis, utilizing the Bibliometrix application. From 1984 to 2023, a total of 1.342 publications were documented across 571 distinct sources, amassing 30.006 citations and averaging 14.26 citations per publication. Notably, Memish ZA is the most cited author with 3.234 citations, the journal Prehospital and Disaster Medicine is the most cited source with 1.454 citations, and the USA is the most cited country with 873 articles. The trend topic analysis underscored keywords like "metaanalysis", "covid-19", "preventive measures" and "spread". Research on mass gathering events has been experiencing significant growth in recent years. This study elucidates the dynamic field of mass gathering events, offering a comprehensive overview of existing research and potential future directions.

Kitlesel Toplanma Etkinliklerinde Küresel Eğilimler: Bibliyometrik Bir Analiz (1984-2023)

Öz

Kitlesel toplantılar, kültürel festivaller, spor etkinlikleri, dini toplantılar, siyasi mitingler ve konserler gibi önemli sayıda bireyin ortak bir amaç için belirli bir yerde bir araya geldiği etkinliklerdir. Kitlesel toplanma etkinlikleri üzerine yapılan çalışmalar dünya çapında ilgi görürken, bu konuda yayınlanmış bibliyometrik araştırma eksikliği bulunmaktadır. Bu boşluğu gidermek için bu çalışma, kitlesel toplanma etkinliklerine ilişkin mevcut literatürün bibliyometrik analizini ve görselleştirilmesini incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Bu çalışmada, Web of Science veri tabanında "mass gathering*" anahtar kelimesi ile arama yapılarak, herhangi bir dışlama kriteri uygulanmadan makaleler derlenmiştir. Bibliyometrik analiz için Bibliometrix uygulaması kullanılarak performans değerlendirme, bilim haritalama ve ağ haritalama teknikleri kullanılmıştır. 1984'ten 2023'e kadar 571 farklı kaynakta toplam 1.342 yayın belgelenmiş, 30.006 atıf toplanmış ve yayın başına ortalama 14.26 atıf alınmıştır. Memish ZA'nın 3.234 atıfla en çok atıf alan yazar, Prehospital and Disaster Medicine dergisinin 1.454 atıfla en çok atıf alan kaynak ve ABD'nin 873 makaleyle en çok atıf alan ülke olması dikkat çekicidir. Trend konu analizi "metaanaliz", "covid-19", "önleyici tedbirler" ve "yayılma" gibi anahtar kelimelerin altını çizmiştir. Kitlesel toplanma olayları üzerine yapılan araştırmalar son yıllarda önemli bir büyüme kaydetmektedir. Bu çalışma, mevcut araştırmalara ve gelecekteki potansiyel yönelimlere kapsamlı bir genel bakış sunarak kitlesel toplanma olaylarının dinamik alanını aydınlatmaktadır.
