Bangladesh has a long history of newspapers dating back to British colonial times. Bangladeshi newspapers have long been used as a reliable source of data for mass media and interdisciplinary research. This paper aims to examine the terrain of the research based on Bangladeshi newspapers. A bibliometric investigation was implemented after searching research items based on Bangladeshi newspapers using the web of science database. We then analysed the chosen data using the Bibliometric R packages. In total, 35 documents have been retrieved and examined over the past 20 years. The study found that research papers accounted for 77.14% (n = 27) of retrieved materials. Authors from research institutes in Bangladesh produced most of the publications (45.71%; n = 16), followed by Germany (11.4%; n = 4) and Australia (8.5%; n = 3). The main areas of research were predominantly media, health, and education. Dhaka University was the most active research institution (20%; n = 7) in this domain. Research using Bangladeshi papers has appeared in Health Communication, BMC Public Health, Child Abuse Review, Australian Journal of Politics and History. Content analysis, speech analysis, and framing are among the most used research methods. This article present evidence of how Bangladeshi newspapers were used as a source of research. Moreover, it reveals the list of top researchers, institutions and areas that used newspaper data as sources along with other findings. The paper will help researchers understand the current state of research on how newspapers are used as a source of research and will offer directions for future research.

Bangladeş Gazetelerini Kullanarak 20 Yıllık Araştırmanın Haritasını Çıkarmak: Bir Bibliyometrik Analiz

Öz

Bangladeş, İngiliz sömürge zamanlarına kadar uzanan uzun bir gazete geçmişine sahiptir. Bangladeş gazeteleri uzun zamandır kitle iletişim araçları ve disiplinler arası araştırmalar için güvenilir bir veri kaynağı olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu makale, Bangladeş gazetelerine dayalı olarak araştırmanın alanını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Web of Science veritabanını kullanarak Bangladeş gazetelerine dayalı araştırma öğelerini aradıktan sonra bibliyometrik bir araştırma uygulandı. Daha sonra Bibliometric R paketlerini kullanarak seçilen verileri analiz ettik. Son 20 yılda toplam 35 belge alındı ve incelendi. Çalışma, araştırma makalelerinin geri alınan materyallerin %77,14'ünü (n = 27) oluşturduğunu buldu. Yayınların çoğunu Bangladeş'teki araştırma enstitülerinden yazarlar üretti (%45,71; n = 16), bunu Almanya (%11,4; n = 4) ve Avustralya (%8,5; n = 3) izledi. Ana araştırma alanı ağırlıklı olarak medya, sağlık ve eğitimdi. Dakka Üniversitesi bu alanda en aktif araştırma kurumuydu (%20; n=7). Bangladeşli makaleleri kullanan araştırmalar Health Communication, BMC Public Health, Child Abuse Review, Australian Journal of Politics and History'de yayınlandı. İçerik analizi, konuşma analizi ve çerçeveleme en çok kullanılan araştırma yöntemleri arasındadır. Bu makale, Bangladeş gazetelerinin bir araştırma kaynağı olarak nasıl kullanıldığına dair kanıtlar sunmaktadır. Ayrıca, diğer bulgularla birlikte gazete verilerini kaynak olarak kullanan en iyi araştırmacıların, kurumların ve alanların listesini ortaya koymaktadır. Makale, araştırmacıların gazetelerin bir araştırma kaynağı olarak nasıl kullanıldığına ilişkin mevcut araştırma durumunu anlamalarına yardımcı olacak ve gelecekteki araştırmalar için yönler sunacaktır.
