The study's primary objective is to comprehensively examine research on 'maritime terrorism'. The aim is to facilitate researchers' work. Data were accessed through the Web of Science (WOS) database, and analysed using the bibliometric analysis method and graphicalised using Vosviewer. This study yielded several conclusions. Firstly, WOS search using "maritime terrorism" revealed 403 works published between 1983 and 2024, covering various study types. The most common type of study among published works in 2010 was the article. Secondly, Md Saiful Karim (6) has the highest number of works among these works. Other, in terms of states, the United States of America ranked first among the states where the work was produced. Fourthly, English is the most preferred language, although many languages are used by authors when writing their works. Fifthly, among the indexes in which the works are published, SCI is the most preferred. Finally, among the keywords used in the studies, 'terrorism' ranks first. In addition, the basis of the study is to fill the literature gap and create a stepping stone for future academic studies.

“Deniz Terörizmi” Konulu Çalışmaların Bibliyometrik Haritalandırılması Temelinde Bir Araştırma

Öz

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, “deniz terörizmi” anahtar kelimesi ile yapılan çalışmaları detaylı bir şekilde incelemektir. Bu incelemede, “deniz terörizmi” konusunda çalışma yapan araştırmacılara kolaylık sağlanması hedeflenmektedir. Bu temelde, çalışmada yararlanılacak olan verilere ise Web of Science (WOS) veri tabanı üzerinden ulaşılmıştır. Bu veriler de bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi doğrultusunda analiz edilmiş ve Vosviewer yazılım programı kullanılarak grafiklendirilmiştir. Bu açıklamalar temelinde bu çalışmada bazı sonuçlara erişilmiştir. Bunlardan birincisi, WOS’ta “maritime terrorism” anahtar kelimesi temelinde yapılan tarama sonrasında 1983-2024 yılları arasında makaleden kitap bölümüne kadar çeşitli çalışma türlerinde yayımlanan 403 esere ulaşılmıştır. Bu eserler özelinde bu yıllar arasında en fazla eser 2010’da yayımlanmışken, eserler arasında sayısal olarak en fazla çalışma türünün makale olduğu tespit edilmiştir. İkincisi, bu eserler arasında en fazla esere, Md Saiful Karim (6) sahiptir. Diğeri, devletler noktasında eserin yapıldığı devletlerde ilk sırada Amerika Birleşik Devletleri bulunmaktadır. Dördüncüsü, eserlerin yazılması noktasında yazarlar tarafından birçok dil kullanılmasına rağmen, en fazla tercih edilen dil, İngilizce’dir. Beşincisi, eserlerin yayımlandığı endeksler arasında en çok SCI tercih edilmektedir. Sonuncusu ise eserlerde kullanılan anahtar kelimeler arasında ilk sırada “terrorism” vardır. Ayrıca çalışmanın oluşturulmasının temelinde ise literatürdeki boşluğun doldurulması ve gelecekte yapılacabilecek olan akademik çalışmalara basamak oluşturmaktır.
