HASHTAG AKTİVİZMİ ARAŞTIRMALARIN BİBLİYOMETRİK ANALİZİ

ÖZ
Tarihsel olarak marjinalize edilen topluluklar ve seslerini duyuramayan bireyler için sosyal medya, önemli bir etkileşim ve farkındalık imkânı sunmaktadır. Sosyal medyanın yaygın kullanımı, hemen her alanda olduğu gibi toplumsal hareketlerin ve aktivizm faaliyetlerinin yeniden şekillenmesinde de önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu kapsamda ortaya çıkan hashtag aktivizmi, sosyal medya ağlarında hashtaglerin kullanımıyla gerçekleşen bir dijital aktivizm hareketi olarak dikkat çekmektedir.
Bu araştırma, uluslararası bir veri tabanı olarak dünya çapında kullanılan Scopus’ta yayınlanmış hashtag aktivizmine yönelik çalışmaların bibliyometrik analiz ile incelenerek, günümüzdeki ve gelecekteki eğilimleri ortayı çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda, 5 Haziran 2023 tarihinde ‘‘hashtag activism’’ terimi kullanılarak Scopus’ta bir inceleme gerçekleştirilmiş ve araştırma başlıklarında bulunması şeklinde sınırlandırılarak toplamda 72 akademik çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Hashtag aktivizmine yönelik araştırmalar, VOSviewer yazılımı kullanılarak yazarlar, yayın yılları, anahtar kelimeler, atıflar, ülkeler ve ortak yazarlık gibi farklı çerçevelerde incelenerek tablolaştırılmış ve görselleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, henüz yeni sayılabilecek bir kavram olan hashtag aktivizmine yönelik araştırmaların Scopus veri tabanında 2015 yılı itibarıyla yayınlandıkları, toplamda 72 araştırmanın genellikle ülke bazında gerçekleştirildiği, en çok yayın yapan ve atıf alan ülkenin Amerika Birleşik Devletleri olduğu ve hashtag aktivizminin en çok sosyal medya, feminizm ve Twitter anahtar kelimeleri ile birlikte kullanıldığı gibi sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır.

BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF HASHTAG ACTIVISM RESEARCHES

ABSTRACT
Social media provides an important platform for historically marginalized communities and individuals who have struggled to have their voices heard. The widespread use of social media has played a significant role in reshaping social movements and activism, much like in other areas. In this context, hashtag activism has emerged as a form of digital activism that utilizes the use of hashtags on social media networks. This research aims to examine studies on hashtag activism published in Scopus, an internationally recognized database, using bibliometric analysis to identify current and future trends. On June 5, 2023, a review was conducted on Scopus using the term "hashtag activism," and a total of 72 academic studies were obtained, limited to those that had the term in their research titles. Studies on hashtag activism were analyzed and visualized using VOSviewer software, focusing on authors, publication years, keywords, citations, countries, and co-authorship. The findings indicate that research on hashtag activism, still considered a relatively new concept, has been published in the Scopus database since 2015. The analysis revealed a total of 72 studies, primarily conducted on a country basis. The United States emerged as the leading country in terms of publications and citations. The study also found that the most common keywords associated with hashtag activism were social media, feminism and Twitter.
