The rise of Industry 5.0 signifies the move toward more human-centered, sustainable, and collaborative industrial processes. This new phase of industrial transformation has beyond Industry 4.0 and broad applications across multiple sectors. Artificial intelligence plays a central role in this transformation, enabling smarter decision making and personalized solutions. The aim of this study is to examine the publications on both artificial intelligence and Industry 5.0 between the years 2018 and mid-2025 with the bibliometric mapping technique via VOSviewer. In this context, Scopus database was selected because of multidisciplinary fields and search was conducted on 1,113 international scientific publications with the concepts of both “Artificial Intelligence” and “Industry 5.0”. The results show that the keywords “Industry 4.0”, “machine learning”, and “sustainability” are listed in top five except “artificial intelligence” and “Industry 5.0”. India has the highest number of citations and documents. As a number of citations, the United States has the second place and the Australia has the third. As a number of documents, the Italy has the second place and the United States has the third. According to the results of publications, the most cited document authored by Nahavandi (2019).

Endüstri 5.0 ve Yapay Zeka Üzerine Küresel Araştırmaların Haritalanması: VOSViewer ile Bibliyometrik Bir İnceleme

Öz

Endüstri 5.0’ın yükselişi, daha insan merkezli, sürdürülebilir ve iş birlikçi endüstriyel süreçlere doğru bir geçişi ifade etmektedir. Bu yeni sanayi dönüşümü evresi, Endüstri 4.0’ın ötesine geçmekte ve çok çeşitli sektörlerde geniş uygulama alanlarına sahiptir. Yapay zeka, bu dönüşümde merkezi bir rol oynamakta, daha akıllı karar alma süreçlerini ve kişiselleştirilmiş çözümleri mümkün kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2018 ile 2025’in ortaları arasındaki yapay zeka ve Endüstri 5.0 konulu yayınları VOSviewer aracılığıyla bibliyometrik haritalama tekniği kullnarak incelemektedir. Bu bağlamda, disiplinler arası alanları kapsaması nedeniyle Scopus veri tabanı seçilmiş ve “Yapay Zeka” ve “Endüstri 5.0” kavramlarını içeren 1,113 uluslararası bilimsel yayın üzerinde arama yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar, “Yapay Zeka” ve “Endustri 5.0” dışında, en çok kullanılan ilk beş anahtar kelime arasında “Endüstri 4.0”, “makine öğrenimi” ve “sürdürülebilirlik” kavramlarının yer aldığını göstermektedir. Hindistan, en fazla atıf ve dokümana sahip ülkedir. Atıf saysıına göre, Birleşik Devletlet ikinci, Avustralya ise üçüncü sıradadır. Doküman sayısına göre ise, İtalya ikinci, Birleşik Devletler üçüncü sıradadır. Yayın sonuçlarına göre, en çok atıf alan çalışma Nahavandi (2019) tarafından yazılmıştır.
