Dijital teknoloji odaklı lojistik, ulusların dijital dönüşüm süreçlerine uyum sağlama yeteneğiyle doğrudan ilişkilidir. Bu bağlamda, Nesnelerin İnterneti (IoT), büyük veri analitiği, yapay zekâ, blok zinciri ve otomasyon gibi dijital teknolojiler, lojistik süreçlerinde daha fazla şeffaflık, iyileştirilmiş operasyonel verimlilik ve müşteri taleplerine daha hızlı ve etkili yanıtlar sağlar. Teknoloji odaklı lojistiğin rekabet gücü, son yıllarda çeşitli sektörel uygulamalarda dikkat çeken önemli bir araştırma alanı olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada, WoS ve Scopus veri tabanlarından elde edilen veriler kullanılarak teknoloji odaklı lojistik rekabet gücü incelenmiştir. Bibliometrix ve Vosviewer yazılımları kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen analizde 3.519 yayın incelenmiştir. Bulgular, son yıllarda bu konuya olan ilginin arttığını göstermektedir. Lojistik odaklı incelemelerde vurgulanan temel konular arasında makine öğrenimi, blok zinciri, yapay zekâ, sürdürülebilirlik, IoT ve Endüstri 4.0 yer almaktadır. Bu tematik çerçeveler içindeki çalışmalar, Çin, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Birleşik Krallık'ı lider ülkeler olarak belirlemiştir. Ek olarak, uluslararası iş birliklerinin analizi, bu uluslar arasındaki coğrafi ve politik yakınlığın önemini ortaya koymuştur. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, politika yapıcılar, akademisyenler ve işletmeler için yararlı olan temel içgörüleri vurgulamak amacıyla görsel olarak tasvir edilebilir.

The competitiveness of digital technology-driven logistics is directly related to the ability of nations to adapt to digital transformation processes. In this context, digital technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and automation enable greater transparency in logistics processes, improved operational efficiency, and a faster and more effective response to customer demands. The competitiveness of technology-focused logistics competitiveness logistics has emerged as a significant area of research in recent years, garnering attention across various sectoral applications. In this study, bibliometric analysis was employed to reviewed the technology-focused logistics competitiveness utilizing data from the WoS and Scopus databases. The analysis, performed using Bibliometrix and Vosviewer software, examined 3,519 publications. The findings indicate a growing interest in this subject in recent years. Key topics highlighted in logistics-focused reviews include machine learning, blockchain, artificial intelligence, sustainability, the IoT, and Industry 4.0. Studies within these thematic frameworks identified China, the United States, and the United Kingdom as the leading countries. Additionally, the analysis of international collaborations revealed the importance of geographical and political proximity among these nations. The results of this study can be visually depicted to highlight key insights beneficial for policymakers, academicians, and businesses.
