EXAMINING CARBON QUANTUM DOTS RESEARCH IN TURKEY: A SCIENTIFIC MAPPING ANALYSIS

Abstract

The bibliometric analysis presented in this work is thorough and comprehensive, carefully examining the wide range of contributions related to "carbon dots" and "carbon quantum dots" in Turkish research from 2014 to 2023. Using Biblioshiny as the major analytical tool and the Web of Science database, this study methodically breaks down the annual trends, regional spreads, institutional ties, authorship trends, and the complex clusters of keywords in this field. After a comprehensive analysis of international and local citations, the research identifies a noteworthy yearly growth rate of 14.72% for Turkey's carbon dot project. Starting with one manuscript in 2014, the research output increased rapidly, reaching sixty critical documents by the end of May 2024. This thorough study clarifies important publication sources; in particular, it emphasizes ChemistrySelect and the publication of Fluorescence as two of the field's top contributors. This thorough evaluation significantly contributes to our knowledge of the state of carbon studies in Turkey, providing priceless insights and a guide to advise and set the direction for future research projects in this continuously developing field, especially for researchers and academics connected with "carbon dots".

TÜRKİYE'DEKİ KARBON KUANTUM NOKTALARI ARAŞTIRMALARININ İNCELENMESİ: BİLİMSEL BİR HARİTALAMA ANALİZİ

Öz

Bu çalışmada sunulan bibliyometrik analiz, 2014'ten 2024'e kadar Türkiyede yapılan araştırmalarda "karbon noktaları" ve "karbon kuantum noktaları" ile ilgili geniş kapsamlı katkıları dikkatle inceleyen ayrıntılı ve kapsamlı bir analizdir. Biblioshiny'yi ana analitik araç olarak ve Web of Science veritabanını kullanan bu çalışma, bu alandaki yıllık eğilimleri, bölgesel dağılımları, kurumsal bağları, yazar eğilimlerini ve karmaşık anahtar kelime kümelerini metodik olarak incelemektedir. Çalışmada uluslararası ve yerel atıfların kapsamlı bir analizinin ardından, Türkiye'nin karbon nokta projesi için yıllık %14.72'lik kayda değer bir büyüme oranı tespit edilmiştir. 2014 yılında bir makaleyle başlayan araştırma çıktıları hızla artarak 2024 Mayıs itibarıyla altmış kritik belgeye ulaşmıştır. Bu kapsamlı çalışma, önemli yayın kaynaklarını açıklığa kavuşturuyor; özellikle ChemistrySelect'i ve Floresan'ın yayınlanmasını alana en çok katkıda bulunan iki kaynak olarak vurgulamaktadır. Bu kapsamlı değerlendirme, Türkiye'deki karbon çalışmalarının durumu hakkındaki bilgimize önemli ölçüde katkıda bulunmakta, paha biçilemez öngörüler sağlamakta ve özellikle "karbon noktaları" ile ilgili araştırmacılar ve akademisyenlere sürekli gelişen bu alanda gelecekteki araştırma projeleri için tavsiyelerde bulunmakta ve yön belirlemek için bir rehberlik sağlamaktadır.
