Abstract
This study focused on Türkiye-addressed psychology publications in the Social Sciences Citation Index between 1985 and 2022. Using an archival scientometric approach, the study also considered the broader institutional and disciplinary context of psychology in Türkiye. A total of 6923 publications served as the final sample to analyze the number of publications and authorship characteristics across years and journal categories. Publication concentration, collaboration partners, and citation patterns were treated as indicators of how this literature has become visible within psychology. Results revealed a general incremental trend in the number of publications across years. The highest number of publications was observed in journals categorized as multidisciplinary, clinical, and social psychology. There was an accumulation of publications such that one-fifth of all outputs appeared in only five journals. Similar accumulation patterns were observed in psychology publications worldwide. Although the total number of international collaborations increased across the years, the same trend was larger for national collaborations. The finding that more than half of the international collaborations were with Western countries was attributed to Western influence in science and psychology in Turkish academia. The incremental pattern observed in the number of citations vis-à-vis the number of publications seemed to level off by 2001. These developments were considered in relation to academic incentives. An increase in single-author publications is anticipated in the upcoming years due to current academic promotion requirements in Türkiye. The study therefore provides a descriptive basis for evaluating both research productivity and changing authorship practices. Overall, the results indicate global parallels as well as Türkiye-specific patterns in Türkiye’s psychology-related scientific output. By integrating publication output with collaboration and citation indicators, the study offers a comprehensive overview of disciplinary development. It also highlights how local academic policies may shape future publication practices.
The school social work profession is multifaceted and has extensive experience with systematic interventions. School social workers utilize multiple methods to identify problems and provide evidence-based intervention solutions. There is a belief that school social work is an accepted profession worldwide. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the progression of school social work research through a bibliometric study. Examining the annual development of publications, the highest affiliations, and the most cited authors and journals in this research dataset. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed using VOSviewer (Visualization of Similarities) and RStudio software to create visual representations of the analysis results. This study included only 1,149 published articles out of 3,995, which were published between 2000 and 2024. Results indicate that the school social work field has a variety of properties that reflect roles and responsibilities, as visualized through dense working areas and expected areas in the figures of “trends of topic” and “co-occurrence of keywords.” The analysis enhances the review’s quality by guiding researchers to the most pertinent documents and delineating publication areas.

This study aims to map the intellectual and conceptual landscape of the B Corp movement within the scientific literature through a quantitative bibliometric analysis. Utilising the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database, the research analyses 108 peer-reviewed articles published between 2007 and 2025. Data visualisation and network analysis, including co-authorship and keyword co-occurrence, were performed using the VOSviewer software. The results show that the number of publications has been growing exponentially since 2011, and the majority of the articles are in the business and management field. A total of 282 keywords were evaluated, and “B Corp” (total link strength: 315) and “Corporate Social Responsibility” (total link strength: 92) were identified as central conceptual pillars. The most cited influential work is by Julie Battilana and Alnoor Ebrahim, with 728 citations. Geographic concentration is still strong in the USA and Europe, but research on emerging economies, such as Türkiye, where there are presently 15 certified B Corps, is critically lacking. The results show a conceptual move from general corporate responsibility to specific issues of 'social impact' and 'employee ownership'. The paper concludes with a research agenda for future research that can help bridge the gap between global norms and local institutional contexts, particularly for researchers in Türkiye.

Occupational burnout has become a major topic in occupational health psychology because of its implications for employee well-being, mental health, and organizational functioning. Although the scientific literature has grown steadily, the field still requires an integrated picture of its development, collaboration patterns, and thematic structure. This study examined the evolution, collaboration patterns and thematic structure of occupational burnout research through a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection between 2000 and 2025. A total of 3227 publications were retrieved using a topic-based search focused specifically on occupational burnout terminology. Bibliometric analyses used VOSviewer to map and visualize trends in scientific production, co-authorship networks, country/region collaboration, keyword co-occurrence, and journal citation patterns. The findings indicate an accelerating increase in publication output, from 17 publications in 2000 to 454 in 2025. The period 2020–2025 alone accounted for 2142 publications, representing 66.4% of the corpus. Collaboration analyses revealed an increasingly international field involving 122 countries/regions, with the United States occupying a highly connected position and collaboration clusters emerging in Europe and Asia. Spain also appeared to connect European and Latin American research communities. Thematic mapping showed that burnout is closely associated with organizational variables, psychological distress, healthcare settings, and measurement-related issues. Overall, occupational burnout research has become an internationalized and multidisciplinary field, shaped by the growing relevance of psychosocial risks, mental health, and work-related well-being.

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on social competence and social adjustment in children published between 1980 and 2025. The dataset was systematically retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection and analyzed using the Bibliometrix R-package within the RStudio environment to ensure methodological rigor and analytical consistency. The final dataset comprises 1,077 publications distributed across 531 scientific sources, including peer-reviewed journals, books, and conference proceedings, and authored by 6,084 unique researchers. Authorship patterns reveal a highly collaborative research structure, with an average of 6.94 co-authors per document and an international collaboration rate of 31.1%, indicating a strongly globalized and networked research field. The average document age of 3.86 years reflects the contemporary and dynamic nature of the literature, while the field demonstrates a steady expansion with an annual growth rate of 7.59%. In terms of document typology, research articles (n = 698) constitute the dominant publication format, followed by reviews (n = 154) and proceedings papers (n = 150), alongside smaller numbers of book chapters, editorial materials, and other document types. Overall, this bibliometric mapping offers an integrative overview of the intellectual structure, collaboration patterns, and publication dynamics of research on children’s social competence and social adjustment, providing a robust foundation for identifying emerging trends and guiding future research directions in the field.

This article, which presents a bibliometric analysis of discourse analysis research in Türkiye, systematically evaluates nearly 50 years of production in the field using the Scopus database. The findings of the research indicate that discourse studies in Türkiye are predominantly concentrated in the social sciences and humanities. The most prominent thematic concentrations are on political discourse, nationalism, populism, gender, and European Union debates. While Critical Discourse Analysis stands out as the dominant methodological approach, innovative techniques such as multimodal analysis or corpus-based methods appear to be insufficient. An examination of language preferences reveals that English is overwhelmingly preferred for global visibility, while Turkish remains an important local production language. Institutional performance analyses reveal that Bilkent, Koç, and Boğaziçi universities hold leading positions in terms of both publication volume and citation impact. An examination of collaborative networks among authors reveals that individuals such as Deniz Zeyrek and Bedrettin Yazan play a central role. However, it is also true that a significant portion of the 2,883 authors remain outside these collaborative networks. International collaborations and citation rates demonstrate that the integration of researchers in Türkiye with the global academy is becoming increasingly stronger, but this interaction can be further enhanced. The study also points to significant gaps in the existing literature. The limited number of discourse studies in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, the inadequate research in contemporary contexts such as digital platforms and artificial intelligence, and the limited methodological diversity are among the most prominent shortcomings.
Background: Bullying among adolescents is a global public health concern with significant mental health and educational consequences. In recent years, research output in this field has increased substantially, warranting a systematic mapping of global scholarly trends.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze global research trends, productivity patterns, collaboration networks, and thematic focus areas in adolescent bullying research published between 2020 and 2025.
Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using data retrieved from the Scopus database. Publications published in English between 2020 and 2025 were included. Bibliometric indicators related to publication growth, author productivity, institutional and country contributions, citation impact, co-authorship networks, and keyword co-occurrence were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer.
Results: The analysis revealed a steady increase in publications, with a peak in 2023. The United States, United Kingdom, and China were the most productive countries. Research output was concentrated in high-income countries and leading academic institutions. Keyword co-occurrence analysis identified three major thematic clusters: school-based contexts and prevention strategies, victimization including cyberbullying, and mental health outcomes.
Conclusion: Research on adolescent bullying has expanded considerably in recent years; however, significant geographical disparities persist. Greater international collaboration and increased contributions from underrepresented regions are needed to develop culturally responsive bullying prevention strategies.
