Süt Sığırcılığında Sürdürülebı̇lı̇rlı̇k Üzerı̇ne Bı̇blı̇yometrı̇k Bı̇r Analı̇z

Öz

Süt sığırcılığı, gıda güvenliği, ekonomik kalkınma ve çevresel sürdürülebilirlik açısından önemli bir sektördür. Ancak iklim değişikliği, hayvan refahı, ekonomik baskılar ve çevresel sorunlar gibi faktörler sektörün sürdürülebilirliğini tehdit etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, süt sığırcılığında sürdürülebilirlik konusundaki akademik yayınlar bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle incelenerek, araştırma eğilimleri ve literatürdeki boşlukların belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 1992–2025 yılları arasında Web of Science veri tabanında yer alan 410 makale analiz edilerek, süt sığırcılığında sürdürülebilirlik konusundaki bilimsel üretim eğilimleri, önde gelen yazar, dergi, kurum ve ülkeler belirlenmiştir. Analiz sonuçları, 2017 yılından itibaren yayın sayısında belirgin bir artış yaşandığını ve yıllık %6,07’lik büyüme oranıyla bu alanda bilimsel üretimin arttığını göstermektedir. “sustainability”, “dairy farming” ve “economic sustainability” gibi anahtar kelimeler öne çıkarken, Agricultural Systems ve Journal of Cleaner Production dergileri atıf ve yayın açısından önde gelen dergilerdir. Bulgular, bilimsel üretimin coğrafi olarak United States, Italy ve Netherlands gibi ülkelerde yoğunlaştığını göstermektedir. Çalışma, alandaki bilgi boşlukları ve bölgesel farkılıkların, gelecekteki araştırmalar için potansiyel çalışma konuları teşkil edebileceğini ortaya koymaktadır.

A Bibliometric Analysis on Sustainability in Dairy Farming

Öz

Dairy farming is a crucial sector in terms of food security, economic development, and environmental sustainability. However, factors such as climate change, animal welfare, economic pressures, and environmental issues threaten the sustainability of the sector. This study aimed to analyze academic publications on sustainability in dairy farming using bibliometric analysis to determine research trends and gaps in the literature. In this study, 410 articles published between 1992 and 2025 in the Web of Science database were analyzed to identify scientific production trends, leading authors, journals, institutions, and countries in the field of dairy farming sustainability. The analysis results indicate a significant increase in the number of publications since 2017, with an annual growth rate of 6.07%, demonstrating the rising scientific output in this area. Keywords such as "sustainability," "dairy farming," and "economic sustainability" stand out, while Agricultural Systems and the Journal of Cleaner Production are among the leading journals in terms of citations and publications. The findings show that scientific production is geographically concentrated in countries such as the United States, Italy, and the Netherlands. The study reveals that knowledge gaps and regional disparities in the field may present potential research topics for future studies.
