A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF FUZZY RISK ANALYSIS
Öz
This study presents a bibliometric analysis of the fuzzy risk assessment literature from a long-term perspective. Fuzzy logic–based risk assessment approaches are widely used under conditions of uncertainty and incomplete information, particularly in engineering, reliability analysis, process management, energy and environmental systems, transportation safety, and decision sciences. Using data retrieved from the Scopus database on 18 February 2026, a total of 1230 documents indexed between 1983 and 2026 were analyzed using the Bibliometrix R package and the Biblioshiny interface. The inclusion of publications from 2025 and 2026, enabled by early-access indexing, enhances the timeliness of the study. The findings indicate that publication output increased rapidly after 2008 and peaked during the 2018–2024 period. Keyword analysis reveals that “risk assessment,” “FTA,” FMEA/FMECA,” “fuzzy FMEA,” and “fuzzy logic” play central roles in the literature. Thematic evolution shows a shift from early reliability-oriented approaches toward hybrid risk models and integrated decision-support systems. China ranks as the leading contributor, followed by India, Iran, and Türkiye. At the institutional level, Islamic Azad University and the University of Tehran stand out, while Chen Shyiming emerges as the most influential author. Overall, the findings demonstrate that the field continues to diversify methodologically and is gaining importance in managing complex uncertainty.
