Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate studies and
trends in infographics in order to determine the specifications of its
scientific content. The study analyzes 161 theoretical and experimental
research papers published between 2006 and 2016 through the utilization of both
qualitative and quantitative indicators. Citation analysis is used in this
research in order to examine studies related to infographics that are indexed in
scientific journals. Infographics and data visualization related keywords are
jointly used in the search for documents. As a result of this research, it can
be seen that the number of citations and the number of research papers
significantly increased in 2016 and also the result allows the researchers to specify
the attributes of the contents of the scientific journals. In future research,
it is recommended that the citation analysis method is combined with other
types of analysis.
