Havacılık Ekonomisinin Bibliyometrik Profili

Öz

Bu çalışmada, havacılık ekonomisi literatürünün kavramsal dönüşümü ve bilimsel üretim ağı, bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Web of Science veri tabanında “Aviation Economics” anahtar kelimesiyle yapılan tarama sonucunda, 2000–2025 yılları arasında yayımlanan 567 yayın analiz edilmiştir. Yıllara göre dağılımda, en fazla yayının ve atfın 2023 yılında gerçekleştiği tespit edilmiştir. Konusal olarak ekonomi, ulaştırma, havacılık mühendisliği ve enerji-yakıtlar gibi alanlarda yoğunlaşan yayınların büyük kısmı dergi makalesi formatındadır. Ortak yazar analizinde Robert Malina ve Mark D. Staples gibi isimler merkezî konumdayken; Wang, Valin, Hileman, Taheripour gibi isimlerin de iş birliği ağında etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Anahtar kelimelerden “aviation” kavramının; “climate policy”, “carbon pricing” ve “bio kerosene” gibi çevresel ve teknolojik terimlerle güçlü bağlar kurduğu belirlenmiştir. Literatürdeki ana temalar; çevresel sürdürülebilirlik, alternatif enerji teknolojileri ve havayolu ekonomisi olarak üç grupta toplanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, alanın giderek çevreci ve dijital temalara yöneldiğini ortaya koyarak gelecekteki çalışmalara yol göstermektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Bibliometric Profile of Aviation Economics

Öz

In this study, the conceptual transformation of aviation economics literature and the scientific production network were evaluated using the bibliometric analysis method. As a result of the search conducted with the keyword “Aviation Economics” in the Web of Science database, 567 publications published between 2000 and 2025 were analyzed. In the distribution by years, it was determined that the highest number of publications and citations occurred in 2023. The publications, which are focused on economics, transportation, aviation engineering and energy-fuels, are mostly in journal article format. In the co-author analysis, names such as Robert Malina and Mark D. Staples were in the central position, while names such as Wang, Valin, Hileman and Taheripour were also seen to be influential in the collaboration network. It was determined that the concept of “aviation” from the keywords established strong ties with environmental and technological terms such as “climate policy”, “carbon pricing” and “bio kerosene”. The main themes in the literature were grouped into three as environmental sustainability, alternative energy technologies and airline economics. The findings reveal that the field is increasingly turning towards environmental and digital themes, providing guidance for future studies.
