Abstract
This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of 251 articles indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database between 2005 and 2025 under the subject heading “Turkish Literature” with the language filter set to “Turkish.” The primary aim of the research is to map production trends, institutional and geographical concentrations, collaboration networks, and thematic orientations in the field of Turkish literature. The document type was limited to “Article,” and the subject areas were restricted to “Arts and Humanities” and “Literature.” Data were analyzed using VOSviewer. Bibliographic coupling was applied to nodes of countries, institutions, authors, and journals; co-occurrence analysis was conducted on keywords; and the “binary counting” method was employed for abstracts. Frequency, citation count, and total link strength (TLS) were used as the main indicators. Findings reveal that the number of publications followed a fluctuating but generally upward trend, peaking in 2020. At the institutional level, Selçuk University exhibited a central position, while Istanbul University emerged as another significant hub. In terms of journals, Selçuk Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi and Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Dergisi stood out as key outlets. Although author networks were widely dispersed across a large cluster, the number of central nodes remained limited, indicating relatively weak and sporadic collaboration patterns. Keyword analysis highlighted “Turkish literature” and “novel” as dominant themes, while abstracts emphasized broader concepts directly reflecting the field. Overall, the study outlines the current quantitative profile of Turkish literature research.
Keywords: Turkish Literature, Literature, Bibliometric Analysis, Web of Science, WoS
