Abstract
Earthquakes, as a type of disaster, have become a prominent subject in scientific studies in Türkiye and around the world with their devastating effects. This study aims to sketch out a general panorama of the field, and to guide future research by analyzing the earthquake studies conducted in Türkiye in the last thirty years through bibliometric analysis. In addition, the study aims to foresee the way in which the scientific approaches on earthquakes would shape in the near future relying on the academic articles written on the earthquakes so far 10 months following the February 6 earthquakes. The statistical data and bibliometric analysis of the literature show that in recent years, the topic of “earthquakes in Türkiye” has become a widespread field of study, not only limited to the field of engineering but also including other social science disciplines. Furthermore, the study reveals a situation in which scientific institutions in Asian countries have come to the fore in shaping the existing literatüre, and multidisciplinary approaches are more important.
