A Bibliometric Analysis of Cross-Section Calculations

Abstract

In this study, the literature for cross section calculations examined from 2019 to 2023 using the ISI Web of Science (WOS) database to understand the dynamics of scientific communication. The main objective was to perform a bibliometric analysis and model networks among authors, texts, sources, citations, keywords, organizations, and countries. Using the R tool "Bibliometrix" and descriptive statistical techniques, the significant publication trends in co-authorship, citation patterns, institutional collaborations, and the geographic distribution of authorship have been identifed. The present findings highlight the importance of international collaboration and interdisciplinary research. The presented bibliometric analysis for cross section calculations has uncovered significant publication trends, particularly regarding co-authorships, citation patterns, institutional collaborations, and the geographic origins of authors.

Öz

Bu çalışmada, bilimsel iletişimin dinamiklerini anlamak amacıyla 2019–2023 yılları arasında tesir kesit hesaplamalarına yönelik literatürü ISI Web of Science (WOS) veritabanı üzerinden inceledik. Birincil amacımız, bibliyometrik bir analiz gerçekleştirmek ve yazarlar, metinler, kaynaklar, atıflar, anahtar kelimeler, kurumlar ve ülkeler arasındaki ağları modellemektir. Bu doğrultuda, R tabanlı "Bibliometrix" aracı ve tanımlayıcı istatistiksel teknikler kullanılarak, eşyazarlık ilişkileri, atıf desenleri, kurumsal iş birlikleri ve yazarlığın coğrafi dağılımına ilişkin önemli yayın eğilimleri belirlenmiştir. Bulgularımız, uluslararası iş birliğinin ve disiplinler arası araştırmaların önemine dikkat çekmektedir. Tesir kesit hesaplamalarına yönelik analizimiz, özellikle eşyazarlık yapıları, atıf desenleri, kurumsal iş birlikleri ve yazarların coğrafi kökenleri açısından dikkat çekici yayın eğilimlerini ortaya koymuştur.
