ANALYSIS OF GLOBAL RESEARCH TRENDS IN THE INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT) AREA WITH NETWORK MAP TECHNIQUE

Nesnelerin İnterneti (IoT), milyarlarca cihazı birbirine bağlayan, kesintisiz iletişim ve veri alışverişi sağlayan dönüştürücü bir teknoloji paradigması olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada, IoT alanındaki küresel araştırma trendlerini ortaya çıkarmak için Web of Science Core Collection veri tabanı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler VOSviewer yazılımı ile görselleştirilip ağ haritası tekniği kullanılarak bibliyometrik bir analiz yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı IoT alanında küresel araştırma trendlerini analiz etmek, sosyal bilimler alanında IoT konulu çalışmaları incelemek ve özellikle yönetim ve kamu yönetimi alanında IoT çalışmalarının durumunu inceleyerek bu konuda çalışma yapmak isteyen araştırmacılara yön göstermektedir. Çalışmada, ilk olarak 2002-2022 yılları arasında IoT konusu üzerine yapılan 87,397 adet araştırma incelenmiş daha sonra yapılan çalışmalar yönetim ve kamu yönetimi alanında sınırlandırılarak 1162 araştırma çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmalar çalışma alanları, anabilim dalları, yayın yılları, anahtar kelimeler, yazarlar ve en çok atıf alan yazarlar açısından kategorik olarak incelenmiş ve analiz edilmiştir.

ANALYSIS OF GLOBAL RESEARCH TRENDS IN THE INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT) AREA WITH NETWORK MAP TECHNIQUE

The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative technology paradigm that connects billions of devices, enabling seamless communication and data exchange. The study used the Web of Science Core Collection database to uncover global research trends in the IoT. The data in the study were visualized using the VOSviewer software, and bibliometric analysis was performed using the network map technique. The study aims to examine global research trends in IoT, examine IoT-related studies in social sciences, examine the status of IoT studies, especially in management and public administration, and guide researchers who aim to work on this subject. In the study, 87,397 studies on IoT between 2002 and 2022 were examined, and 1162 studies were included by limiting the studies to management and public administration. Studies were categorized and analyzed concerning fields of study, departments, years of publication, keywords, authors, and the most cited authors.
