Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, whistleblowing kavramının önemini ortaya koymak, mevcut bilgi birikimini görünür kılmak, bu alana katkıda bulunacak gelecekteki araştırmalar için bir yol haritası çizmek ve whistleblowing üzerine yapılan yayınların bibliyometrik profilini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Web of Science Core Collection (WOS) veri tabanında, başlığında, özetinde veya anahtar kelimelerinde “whistleblowing” ifadesini içeren çalışmalar taranmıştır. Herhangi bir yıl kısıtlaması yapılmamış, dil olarak sadece İngilizce yayınlar ve WOS kategorisi olarak Ethics (Etik), Business (İşletme), Management (Yönetim), Business Finance (İşletme Finansmanı), Public Administration (Kamu Yönetimi), Economics (Ekonomi), Political Science (Siyaset Bilimi), Nursing (Hemşirelik), Industrial Relations Labor (Endüstriyel İlişkiler ve İşgücü), Social Science Interdiciplinary (Disiplinlerarası Sosyal Bilimler) adlı 10 alan seçilmiştir. Bu kısıtlamalar sonucunda toplam 704 yayından oluşan veri setine ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerle R yazılımı kullanılarak bibliyometrik bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizler, whistleblowing ile ilgili yayınların, kaynakların, yazarların, ülkelerin, anahtar kelimelerin yıl, atıf ve sıklık kriterlerine ilişkin performanslarını ortaya koymuştur. Çalışma ayrıca konu çerçevesinde oluşan kavramsal, entellektüel ve sosyal yapıları da görünür kılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarının whistleblowing konusunda çalışma yapan araştırmacılara konunun ana hatlarını, konuyla ilgili eğilimleri ve yayınlanan en önemli dergi ile makaleleri göstermesi, kurumların, ülkelerin ve yazarların kavramla ilgili bilimsel yayın performanslarını değerlendirmesi, birbirini tekrar eden araştırmaların önüne geçilmesi ve literatürdeki araştırma boşluğunu gidermeye çalışması açısından faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir

Abstract

The aim of this study is to highlight the importance of the concept of whistleblowing, to make the existing knowledge visible, to draw a roadmap for future research that will contribute to the field, and to reveal the bibliometric profile of publications on whistleblowing. For this purpose, the Web of Science Core Collection (WOS) database was searched for studies that contain the term “whistleblowing” in the title, abstract, or key words. No year restriction was applied, only English publications were selected as language, and 10 fields were selected as WOS categories, namely Ethics, Business, Management, Business Finance, Public Administration, Economics, Political Science, Nursing, Industrial Relations Labor, Social Science Interdisciplinary. As a result of these limitations, a total data set consisting of 704 publications was reached. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using R software with the obtained data. The analyses revealed the performance of whistleblowing-related publications, sources, authors, countries, and keywords in terms of year, citation, and frequency criteria. The study has also made visible the conceptual, intellectual, and social structures that have formed around the subject. It is expected that the results of the research will be useful for researchers working on whistleblowing in terms of showing the main outlines of the subject, trends in the subject, and the most important journals and articles published, evaluating the scientific publication performance of institutions, countries, and authors on the concept, preventing repetitive research, and trying to fill the research gap in the literature.
