Bibliometric analysis of studies on gastronomy education in Turkiye

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of academic studies on gastronomy education in Turkiye. In the study, a total of 87 studies – 40 articles, 33 conference paper, 12 theses, and two books – were examined as a result of searches in Turkish and English using the Council of Higher Education Academic Search (YOK Academic) database with the keywords "gastronomy education" and "gastronomy and culinary arts education". Studies that were repetitive, off-topic, and whose full texts could not be accessed were systematically eliminated and excluded from the analysis. The data were analyzed using frequency and percentage analyses in Microsoft Excel. The studies were classified according to parameters such as publication type, scope, subject headings, research methods, keyword distribution, journals in which the articles were published, and events in which the reports were presented. The findings show that the most common publication type was articles, comprising 45.98%, followed by conference papers (37.93%), theses (13.79%), and books (2.30%). It was determined that the distribution between national and international publications was nearly equal (52.87% national, 47.13% international). Among the research topics, "Current Status, Problems and Solution Proposals of Gastronomy Education" was the most frequently studied area. In terms of research methods, it was observed that 49.41% of the studies employed qualitative methods, 40% used quantitative methods, and 10.59% used mixed methods. Additionally, "gastronomy" and "gastronomy education" were the most frequently used keywords. It was revealed that the less frequently used keywords reflected the multidisciplinary structure and different subfields of gastronomy.

Keywords

Gastronomy, Gastronomy education, Bibliometric Analysis
