Abstract

A literature review can be defined as a critical examination of the literature. Literature reviews contribute to literature as a scientific text; for this reason, scientific reviews should go through a production process that is suitable for validity and reliability standards, as in research articles. However, for writing the scientific review, there is a need in terms of a traditional review, especially in Turkey Literature. Further, the risk of bias of traditional reviews and the thoughts that they just literature abstracts sorting increases this need. With this study, it is aimed to make a contribution towards eliminating the lack of resources in the literature. For this, a review study was conducted from publications for traditional review writing by using Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Google Scholar databases and libraries. In this study, by synthesizing literature from many disciplines, firstly topics related to the planning were included such as subject selection and goal determination, literature searching, evaluation, analysis, and synthesis, and then the structure of the basic parts of the scientific reviews such as summary, introduction, method, body, and result was explained. It is expected that this study contributes to the literature in terms of supporting the writing of traditional review and guiding new researchers as a beginning study. Since there is a similarity between reviews and research articles, also, it is expected that both researchers writing reviews and the writers of research articles, will be supported about academic writing and provided new perspectives.

Özet

Bir literatür derlemesi, literatürün eleştirel bir şekilde incelenmesi olarak tanımlanabilir. Derlemeler, bilimsel birer metin olarak literatüre katkı sağlar; bu yüzden, araştırma makaleleri gibi geçerlik ve güvenirlik koşullarına uygun bir üretim sürecinden geçmesi gerekir. Ancak derlemelerin yazımı konusunda geleneksel literatür derlemeleri yönünde, özellikle Türkiye literatüründe, bir ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır. Geleneksel derlemelerin yanlılık riskine açık olması ve literatürün sadece art arda sıralanması olarak sanılması bu ihtiyacı arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışmayla literatürdeki kaynak eksikliğini giderilmesine yönelik bir katkı sunulması amaçlanmaktadır. Bunun için Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO ve Google Scholar veri tabanları ile kütüphanelerden yararlanılarak geleneksel derleme yazımına yönelik ulaşılan yayınlardan bir derleme çalışması yapılmıştır. Bu derleme çalışmasında, birçok disiplinden literatür sentezlenerek, öncelikle konu seçimi ve amacın belirlenmesi, literatür taraması, değerlendirmesi, analiz ve sentezi gibi planlamaya ilişkin başlıklara yer verilmiş, ardından derlemelerin özet, giriş, yöntem, gövde ve sonuç gibi temel bölümlerinin yapısı açıklanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın, derlemelerin yazımına ilişkin literatürü desteklemesi ve yeni araştırmacılara yol göstermesi bakımından derleme yazımına ilişkin başlangıç niteliğinde bir çalışma olarak katkı sunması beklenmektedir. Bununla birlikte, hem derleme yazan araştırmacıların hem de derleme yazımıyla benzerliğinden ötürü araştırma makalesi yazarlarının akademik yazım konusunda desteklemesi ve yeni bakış açıları sağlaması da beklenmektedir.
