Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to show how to use analytical tools to evaluate a portfolio of publications in the international literature on lean production and to discuss the findings on specific dimensions.

Methodology: As data sources, Web of Science databases and text data provided by these databases were used. The dataset consists of a total of 1941 research articles published until 17 June 2021. With the sciometric and bibliometric approaches, clustering was used in text and network analytics, along with tables, to infer patterns and trends among publications, fields, citations, and journals.

Findings: Within this vast portfolio, researchers can see which publications should be prioritized. Considering the total number of publications and citations, US universities, Brazil and India stand out according to individual evaluations. Although subjects and journals are clustered in the fields of production and operations, they also show an increasing trend in fields such as health, materials science and environmental science. The portfolio of Turkey-related studies is ranked 13th.

Originality: The study draws the bigger picture of the existing literature by analyzing the relationships between bibliometric dimensions such as journals and references and their change over time through research on lean production with an analytical approach. This method also streamlines the preliminary literature review process.

WEB OF SCIENCE SÜZGECİNDEN YALIN ÜRETİM ARAŞTIRMA PORTFÖYÜ: NEREDEN BAŞLAMALIYIZ?

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, yalın üretim konusunda uluslararası literatürde oluşan yayın portföyünün analitik araçlar eşliğinde nasıl incelenebileceğini açıklamak ve bulguları belirli boyutlar üzerinden tartışmaktır.

Yöntem: Veri kaynağı olarak Web of Science veri tabanları ve bu veri tabanlarının sağladığı metin türünde veriler kullanılmıştır. Veri seti, 17 Haziran 2021 tarihine kadar yayınlanmış toplam 1941 araştırma makalesinden oluşmaktadır. Bilimetri ve bibliyometri yaklaşımlarıyla, yayınlar, alanlar, atıflar ve dergiler arasındaki örüntülerin ve eğilimlerin çıkarımında tablolar ile birlikte metin ve ağ analitiğinde kümelemeden yararlanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Bu geniş portföy içerisinde, araştırmacılar hangi yayınlara öncelik verebileceğini görebilmektedir. Toplam yayın ve atıf sayısına bakıldığında ABD üniversiteleri, bireysel değerlendirmelere göre Brezilya ve Hindistan öne çıkmaktadır. Konular ve dergiler üretim ve yöneylem alanlarında kümelenmiş olsa da sağlık, malzeme bilimi ve çevre bilimi gibi alanlarda da artan bir eğilim göstermektedir. Türkiye adresli çalışmaların oluşturduğu portföy, 13. sırada yer almaktadır.

Özgünlük: Çalışma, yalın üretim konusundaki araştırmalar üzerinden, dergiler ve referanslar gibi bibliyometrik boyutlar arasındaki ilişkileri ve bunların zaman boyunca değişimini analitik bir yaklaşımla inceleyerek, mevcut literatürün büyük resmini çizmektedir. Bu yaklaşım, aynı zamanda, öncül literatür araştırma sürecini yalınlaştırma özelliği de taşımaktadır.
