Abstract

Çalışmamızda, Kadın Çalışmaları1 alanında akademide belirlenen kriterlere göre en üretken araştırmacılar, en üretken kurumlar, en üretken ülkeler hangileridir sorularının yanında araştırmaların hangi kurumlar tarafından fon yoluyla desteklendiği ve araştırmaların hangi konulara odaklandığı sorularına cevap aranmıştır. Bu amaçla Web of Science’ın ilgili indekslerinde kategorisi “Women’s Studies” olan bütün yayın bilgileri elde edilmiştir. Veri setinde 1975-2023 arasında 80 farklı kaynaktan 83,117 bilimsel doküman bilgisi (makale, bildiri, kitap bölümü vb.) derlenmiştir. Kadın Çalışmaları literatürü için yıllık büyüme oranı %3,52 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmanın katkısı çoğunlukla tek boyutlu ele alınan bibliyometri çalışmalarının kadın çalışmaları alanında yazarlar arası iş birliği; yazar, ülke ve kurum üretkenliği; fon sağlayıcılar; araştırma odakları ve eş kelime kümeleri analizi kategorileri ile değerlendirilmesi ve bütünsel bir şekilde ele alınmasına dayanmaktadır. Böylece uluslararası akademik yazında etkili literatürün bu özellikleri gözden geçirilerek, Türkiye’de kadın çalışmalarında akademik olarak öncelik verilmesi gereken araştırma konuları, temalar, araştırma soruları kavramsal tartışmalar ve yaklaşımlar üzerinden bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Half Century of Women’s Studies: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

In our study, in addition to the questions of which are the most productive researchers, the most productive institutions, and the most productive countries in the field of Women’s Studies, based on the criteria determined in the academy, we sought answers to the questions of which institutions provided funds to the researches and on which topics these studies focused on. To accomplish this, we collected comprehensive publication data from the relevant indexes of the Web of Science, specifically those categorized under “Women’s Studies.” The dataset encompassed 83,117 scholarly documents (articles, papers, book chapters, etc.) sourced from 80 different outlets, spanning the period from 1975 to 2023. The annual growth rate for Women’s Studies literature was calculated as 3.52%. The contribution of the study is based on holistic evaluation of bibliometric studies, which are mostly considered in a single dimension, with the categories of collaboration among authors; author, country and institutional productivity; funders; research focus areas and co-word analysis in the field of women’s studies. Thus, by reviewing these characteristics of the influential literature in the international academic production, an analysis was carried out on the research topics, themes, research questions, conceptual discussions and approaches that should be prioritised academically in women’s studies in Turkey.
