Abstract

It is known that the maritime industry is intertwined with scientific developments. Considering the number of scientific research and support projects, the relationship between the scientific community and the industry is getting stronger day by day. The research aims to determine the main trend in the articles published between 2011-2022 in the journals published in the field of maritime management and indexed in SSCI-Social Science Citation Index. To determine the trend in the field of maritime management, the keywords of 1528 articles published in 3 journals determined according to the limitations were analyzed. As a result of keyword and network analysis, ports, maritime transport, liner shipping, container terminals, and data envelopment analysis-DEA are the most used keywords. The most important result obtained as a result of this study is that the events in the world (war, pandemic, terrorism, piracy, etc.) are in a rapid upward trend in the field of maritime business management and the scientific community has shown a rapid reaction on these issues.

Denizcilik çalışmalarında sosyal ve davranışsal bilim eğilimleri: Anahtar kelime analizi

Year 2023, Volume: 9 Issue: 2, 97 - 109, 01.12.2023

Abstract

Denizcilik sektörünün bilimsel gelişmelerle iç içe olduğu bilinmektedir. Bilimsel araştırma ve desteklenen proje sayılarına bakıldığında bilimsel camia ile sektör arasındaki ilişki her geçen gün kuvvetlenmektedir. Araştırmanın amacı, denizcilik yönetimi alanında yayınlanan ve SSCI'da indekslenen dergilerde 2011-2022 yılları arasında yayınlanan makalelerdeki ana eğilimi belirlemektir. Denizcilik işletmeleri yönetimi alanındaki eğilimin belirlenmesi amacıyla, kısıtlara göre belirlenen 3 dergide yayınlanan 1528 makalenin anahtar kelimeleri analiz edilmiştir. Anahtar kelime ve network analizi sonucunda limanlar, deniz taşımacılığı, liner taşımacılık, konteyner terminalleri ve veri zarflama analizi (DEA) en çok kullanılan anahtar kelimeler olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma sonucunda elde edilen en önemli sonuç ise, dünyada yaşanan olayların (savaş, pandemi, terör, deniz haydutluğu vs.) denizcilik işletmeleri yönetimi alanı araştırmalarında hızla yükseliş trendine girmesi ve bilim camiasının bu konularla ilgili hızlı reaksiyon göstermesidir.
