Abstract

Günümüzde, spor ve ekonominin kesişimi, sürdürülebilir kalkınma açısından akademik araştırmaların odak noktası haline gelmiştir. Bibliyometrik analiz tekniğinin kullanımı, mevcut araştırmalar üzerinde hem geçmişe dönük güncel bir bakış açısı sunarken hemde gelecek araştırmalar için bilgi ve öngörü sağlamaktadır. Bu da gelecek kuşak araştırmacılar için önemli bir kaynak niteliği taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 2005 yılından 2023'e kadar olan dönemde, spor ekonomisi alanındaki 112 önemli çalışması, Web of Science (WOS) veritabanı kullanılarak kapsamlı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Power BI, R programlama ve bibliyometrik yazılımlar, yayın kapsamını, ülkelerin ve akademik kurumların bilimsel gücünün titizlikle incelenmesine katkı sağlarken kavramsal çerçevelere dayalı olarak yorumlanması ve görselleştirilmesine olanak sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmada dikkat çekici olan, sadece Batı'dan değil, Asya ve Afrika bölgelerinden de kayda değer akademik çıktılar elde edilerek, bu alandaki araştırma katkılarının küresel etkisini ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca tematik çeşitlilik, spor pazarlarının ve endüstrilerinin geleneksel ekonomik değerlendirmelerinden, sporun siyasi dinamiklerle kesişimi, toplumsal cinsiyet dinamikleri, çevrimiçi oyunların artan etkisi, COVID-19 pandemisinin getirdiği benzersiz zorluklar ve büyük ölçekli spor etkinliklerinin sosyoekonomik etkileri gibi çağdaş öncelikleri de içermektedir.

Bibliometric Analysis Technique in Sports and Economics Studies: A New Approach

Abstract

In recent times, the intersection of sports and economics has emerged as a focal point of academic research in terms of sustainable development. The use of bibliometric analysis technique offers both a retrospective and up-to-date perspective on existing research, while also providing valuable insights and projections for future studies, making it a crucial resource for the next generation of scholars. In this study, 112 significant works in the field of sports economics, published between 2005 and 2023, were comprehensively examined using the Web of Science (WOS) database. The integration of Power BI, R programming, and bibliometric software facilitated a meticulous examination of publication scope, the scientific strength of nations and academic institutions, and the interpretation and visualization of findings based on conceptual frameworks. Notably, this study highlights the considerable academic contributions not only from Western countries but also from regions such as Asia and Africa, showcasing the global impact of research in this field. Additionally, the thematic diversity extends beyond traditional economic assessments of sports markets and industries to encompass contemporary priorities such as the intersection of sports with political dynamics, gender dynamics, the growing influence of online gaming, the unique challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the socioeconomic impacts of large-scale sporting events.
