Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the development and trends of academic studies on carbon accounting, which plays an active role in addressing the climate crisis, between 2000 and 2024 in the perspective of various parameters using Scopus, a scientific database of well-known publications. As one of the comprehensive bibliometric analyses conducted to better understand the scientific richness and interdisciplinary relationships in the field of carbon accounting, this study is expected to make a significant contribution to the literature. In line with this purpose and scope, bibliometric analysis of the articles on “carbon accounting” in the Scopus database was carried out by visual mapping method using VOSviewer (1.6.19) software package. When the keyword “carbon accounting” was searched in the database, a total of 962 scientific studies were found between 2000 and 2024. The analysis showed that the interest in carbon accounting is increasing day by day and the volume of information collected to date has reached a large volume. It was found that the number of studies on this subject was very few in 2000 and 155 in 2024, the country with the most publications was the USA, the language of publication was English and the journal was “Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization”. Another important result obtained in the study is that most of the studies on this subject are conducted in the field of Environmental Sciences. The study is envisaged to be a reference for future academic research on carbon accounting and similar topics.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, iklim krizinin ele alınmasında etkin bir rol oynayan karbon muhasebesi konusundaki akademik çalışmaların 2000-2024 yılları arasındaki gelişimini ve eğilimlerini, tanınmış yayınlardan oluşan bilimsel veri tabanı olan Scopus’u kullanarak çeşitli parametreler perspektifinde belirlemektir. Karbon muhasebesi alanındaki bilimsel zenginliği ve disiplinler arası ilişkileri daha iyi anlayabilmek için yapılan kapsamlı Bibliyometrik analizlerden biri olarak bu çalışma literatüre önemli bir katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu amaç ve kapsam doğrultusunda, Scopus veri tabanındaki “karbon muhasebesi” konulu makalelerin Bibliyometrik analizi, VOSviewer (1.6.19) yazılım paketi kullanılarak görsel haritalama yöntemi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri tabanında “karbon muhasebesi” anahtar kelimesi arandığında, 2000-2024 yılları arasında toplam 962 bilimsel çalışma bulunmuştur. Analiz, karbon muhasebesine olan ilginin her geçen gün arttığını ve bugüne kadar toplanan bilginin büyük bir hacme ulaştığını göstermiştir. Bu konudaki çalışma sayısının 2000 yılında çok az iken 2024 yılında 155 olduğu, en çok yayın yapılan ülkenin ABD, yayın dilinin İngilizce ve derginin “Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation” olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen bir diğer önemli sonuç ise, bu konulu çalışmaların en çok Çevre Bilimleri alanında yapılmasıdır. Çalışma, karbon muhasebesi ve benzeri konularda gelecekte yapılacak olan akademik araştırmalar için bir referans niteliği taşıya bileceği öngörülmektedir.
