Abstract
This article, which presents a bibliometric analysis of discourse analysis research in Türkiye, systematically evaluates nearly 50 years of production in the field using the Scopus database. The findings of the research indicate that discourse studies in Türkiye are predominantly concentrated in the social sciences and humanities. The most prominent thematic concentrations are on political discourse, nationalism, populism, gender, and European Union debates. While Critical Discourse Analysis stands out as the dominant methodological approach, innovative techniques such as multimodal analysis or corpus-based methods appear to be insufficient. An examination of language preferences reveals that English is overwhelmingly preferred for global visibility, while Turkish remains an important local production language. Institutional performance analyses reveal that Bilkent, Koç, and Boğaziçi universities hold leading positions in terms of both publication volume and citation impact. An examination of collaborative networks among authors reveals that individuals such as Deniz Zeyrek and Bedrettin Yazan play a central role. However, it is also true that a significant portion of the 2,883 authors remain outside these collaborative networks. International collaborations and citation rates demonstrate that the integration of researchers in Türkiye with the global academy is becoming increasingly stronger, but this interaction can be further enhanced. The study also points to significant gaps in the existing literature. The limited number of discourse studies in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, the inadequate research in contemporary contexts such as digital platforms and artificial intelligence, and the limited methodological diversity are among the most prominent shortcomings.
This study integrates bibliometric visualization with content coding to clarify the development, knowledge structure, and research gaps of digital discourse studies, offering directions for future interdisciplinary inquiry.

This study aims to map the intellectual and conceptual landscape of the B Corp movement within the scientific literature through a quantitative bibliometric analysis. Utilising the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database, the research analyses 108 peer-reviewed articles published between 2007 and 2025. Data visualisation and network analysis, including co-authorship and keyword co-occurrence, were performed using the VOSviewer software. The results show that the number of publications has been growing exponentially since 2011, and the majority of the articles are in the business and management field. A total of 282 keywords were evaluated, and “B Corp” (total link strength: 315) and “Corporate Social Responsibility” (total link strength: 92) were identified as central conceptual pillars. The most cited influential work is by Julie Battilana and Alnoor Ebrahim, with 728 citations. Geographic concentration is still strong in the USA and Europe, but research on emerging economies, such as Türkiye, where there are presently 15 certified B Corps, is critically lacking. The results show a conceptual move from general corporate responsibility to specific issues of 'social impact' and 'employee ownership'. The paper concludes with a research agenda for future research that can help bridge the gap between global norms and local institutional contexts, particularly for researchers in Türkiye.

This study mapped the global landscape of pragmatics and speech act research through a bibliometric approach. A corpus of 1,346 Scopus-indexed articles and reviews published between 2015 and 2025 was analyzed using the bibliometrix package in R and Biblioshiny, examining publication trends, citation patterns, and network structures including co-authorship, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence. The findings revealed a sustained growth in research output (annual growth rate: 10.1%), sustained by a small set of core journals, most prominently the Journal of Pragmatics, and a group of highly prolific authors distributed across institutions in Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East. Theoretically, the field remained anchored in foundational constructs derived from speech act theory, politeness, and interlanguage pragmatics, while emerging areas such as digital discourse, corpus-based approaches, and computational applications had gained increasing visibility. Co-citation analysis identified Austin (1962), Searle (1979), and Brown and Levinson (1987) as the most consistently cited intellectual anchors. The co-word network revealed a conceptual structure centered on speech acts and pragmatics, with interconnected clusters related to politeness and interactional norms, specific speech-act types such as requests and apologies, and emerging computational or data-driven approaches. Taken together, the results sketched a field that had grown substantially over the decade, consolidated around a recognizable set of theoretical anchors, and opened up toward new methods, media, and cross-linguistic contexts.

This study aims to provide a bibliometric analysis of Kurdish linguistics research indexed in the Web of Science database from a sociolingustic perspective. Using the criteria of “topic” and “linguistics,” in the field of Linguistics the study identified 147 publications published between 1997 and 2025. The analysis applies Performance Analysis and Science Mapping techniques to explore publication timeline, country contributions, leading authors, most cited works, keyword co-occurrence, and co-citation networks. The findings reveal a steady increase in publications, with Iran, the USA, and Türkiye emerging as the most active contributors. Key authors such as Amir Karimipour, Geoffrey Haig, Yadgar Karimi, and Vali Rezai are among the most productive, while Nihat Polat, Geoffrey Haig, and Jaffer Sheyholislami rank among the most cited. Keyword analysis highlights both sociolinguistic themes such as bilingualism and language policy, and linguistic topics such as Kurdish, Iranian languages, and ezafe. The results also show that research numbers reached its highest levels in 2021 and 2024. From a sociolinguistic perspective, the findings indicate that political conditions and institutional support play an important role in shaping research productivity and collaboration in Kurdish linguistics, both of which remain limited despite the field’s steady growth.

This study addresses the significant lack of empirical research on the long-term, macro-level development of Mandarin pedagogy in Chinese higher education. Existing studies rely heavily on localised, qualitative classroom summaries, resulting in fragmented knowledge. To fill this gap, this paper systematically maps the academic dynamics, evolutionary trajectories, and institutional networks across eleven structural dimensions, including publication trends, thematic shifts, collaborations, and funding landscapes. Using co-word analysis, citation analysis, and knowledge graph visualisation, a dataset of 155 documents from 1996 to 2025 was retrieved and analysed from CNKI. The findings reveal that while scholarly output peaked in 2013, the core focus has shifted from "pronunciation standardisation" to "professional competence", reflecting a paradigm shift from linguistic correctness toward competency-oriented and practice-based language education. Geographically, institutions in southern dialect zones and border minority regions show the greatest research activity, yet no dominant journal or elite author group has emerged, indicating a decentralised ecosystem. Research output has evolved from policy-driven to demand-driven and now towards technology-driven development. Specifically, this study aims to: (1) examine publication trends, (2) identify major research themes and their evolution, (3) analyse collaboration networks, and (4) explore emerging directions. The findings contribute to understanding how language pedagogy evolves under national policies and technological changes, offering data-driven guidance for university administrators, teacher educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers.

The overarching objective of the present study is to provide a more comprehensive understanding of recent research trends in cosplay from 2000 to 2023, as well as to identify the research gaps. This study employed a systematic literature review combined with qualitative interpretations and bibliometric visual analysis (VOSviewer and CitNetExplorer). This mixed-methods approach can identify the evolution of cosplay research, major publication outlets, key research topics, geographic distribution, commonly used methodologies, influential scholars, and leading academic institutions, therebfy providing valuable insights into the study of popular culture and fandom through the lens of cosplay. A comprehensive literature search in the Web of Science database yielded 114 relevant journal articles for subsequent analysis. The findings of this study provide insights into the trends and evolution of cosplay research while also highlighting several significant areas which need further investigation, such as cross-national and non-Western studies, cosplay and tourism, cosplay and well-being, cosplay and religion, and research involving diverse demographic groups.
