Atıf incelemeleri için TÜBİTAK-ULAKBİM TRDizin verileri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma bulgularına göre, en fazla hakemli makale 2021 yılında yayımlanmıştır. 4 yıl içinde dergide yayımlanmış çalışmaların %29’u 2019 yılına aittir. Yayım yapan kurumlar yüksek oranda kamu kurum/kuruluşlarıdır. En fazla yayın yapan yazarlar Doktor (Dr.) ünvanlı yazarlar olmuştur. Konusal yönelim çoğunlukla bilgi ve belge yönetim sistemleri, arşivler, elektronik bilgi alanlarındadır. “Büyük Veri: Uygulama Alanları, Analitiği ve Güvenlik Boyutu” başlıklı yayın en fazla atıf alan yayın olmuştur. Kullanılan araştırma yöntemleri yüzdesel olarak birbirine yakındır. Çalışmalarda faydalanılan kaynak sayıları yıllar itibariyle artış göstermektedir. Hakemli makalelerin büyük çoğunluğu tek yazarlıdır.

The journal’s most-cited publication is “Büyük Veri: Uygulama Alanları, Analitiği ve Güvenlik Boyutu” [Big Data: Application Areas, Analytics and Security Dimension] was the most cited publication. The research methods that were used have been used at similar percentages. The number of references used in studies has increased over the years. The majority of peer-reviewed articles have one author. Following this study, regular internal analyses of BY Journal will be important in terms of monitoring the progress it has shown.
This study performs an internal evaluation of Bilgi Yönetimi (Journal of Information Management, BY Journal) using bibliometric data. The study was carried out to contribute to increasing the journal’s visibility. The number of citations and the opportunity to be scanned by more indexes can be provided in this context.

According to the findings, the highest number of peer-reviewed articles published between 2018-2021 occurred in 2021. The authors who published the most in the journal were observed to have the title of Doctor (Dr.). Publishing institutions were seen to mostly be public institutions, and examining the institutions’ profiles shows the highest number of publications to have come from publications with Ankara University in the address. Increasing the number of publications from different institutions as well as from Ankara University, which is the institutional address of the journal, will contribute to the journal’s development. The topics frequently preferred by the authors involve archives, information and document management systems, and electronic information. In addition, keywords such as health information systems, artificial intelligence, and e-archive are seen to have been used extensively. The most frequently used keywords are seen to coincide with the journal’s policy. When considering the purpose and scope of BY Journal, the journal states itself to be an interdisciplinary journal that includes qualified and original scientific studies in the fields of information management, archiving, and informatics.
The journal’s most-cited publication is “Büyük Veri: Uygulama Alanları, Analitiği ve Güvenlik Boyutu” [Big Data: Application Areas, Analytics and Security Dimension]. This publication’s field appears to be multidisciplinary, which can create a greater impact area. The research methods used in the articles are observed to resemble one another in terms of usage percentages, with empirical articles having been published at an increasing rate over the years. The average number of pages per peer-reviewed article published in the journal (the journal has published 45 in total) was calculated as 16.65 pages. When considering the number of references used in studies published in the journal, this number is seen to have increased since BY Journal began its publication life.

The majority of the published peer-reviewed articles were additionally determined to have one author and the language of publication to be predominantly Turkish. Studies that are conducted with multiple authors are able to create more impact. As such, BY Journal can benefit from supporting multi-author studies. Following this study, regularly repeating bibliometric studies of the journal and presenting the results will enable comparisons of both BY Journal and other journals publishing in the fields of information science and informatics, and this will be useful in terms of understanding the progress being shown.
