Abstract

In this study, a bibliometric analysis was carried out to reveal the development process of academic studies on Metaverse in the world and in Turkey. The aim of the analysis is to examine the development process of the Metaverse concept in the academic world and to guide future research and studies on this subject. In the bibliometric analysis process, relevant publications were searched in Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases using the keyword "Metaverse" on 30.05.2023 and a total of 2201 publications were obtained from both databases between 1995 and 2022. The publications were analysed according to research areas, years, countries, institutions, keywords and number of citations. VOSviewer programme was used for keyword analysis. It was observed that the most studies on metaverse were conducted in the field of computer science in 2022. It was determined that the most publications were made at Sabancı University in our country and at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the world. It can be said that the most cited publications on metaverse are the study of Davis et al. in 2009 and the study of Dionisio et al. in 2013.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Metaverse konusunda dünyada ve Türkiye'de yapılan akademik çalışmaların gelişim sürecini ortaya koymak amacıyla bibliyometrik bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizin amacı, Metaverse kavramının akademik dünyadaki gelişim sürecini incelemek ve bu konuda gelecekte yapılacak araştırma ve çalışmalara yol göstermektir. Bibliyometrik analiz sürecinde 30.05.2023 tarihinde "Metaverse" anahtar kelimesi kullanılarak Web of Science (WoS) ve Scopus veri tabanlarında ilgili yayınlar taranmış ve her iki veri tabanından 1995-2022 yılları arasında toplam 2201 yayın elde edilmiştir. Yayınlar araştırma alanlarına, yıllara, ülkelere, kurumlara, anahtar kelimelere ve atıf sayılarına göre analiz edilmiştir. Metaverse ile ilgili en çok çalışmanın bilgisayar bilimleri alanında yapıldığı, en çok çalışmanın 2022 yılında yapıldığı, en çok çalışmanın Çin'de yapıldığı ve en çok yayının ülkemizde Sabancı Üniversitesi'nde, dünyada ise Çin Bilimler Akademisi'nde yapıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Metaverse konusunda en çok atıf alan yayınların 2009 yılında Davis ve arkadaşlarının çalışması ile 2013 yılında Dionisio ve arkadaşlarının çalışması olduğu söylenebilir.
