Foreword
Dear Readers,
We are pleased to present you the new issue of bilig. There are seven research articles in this issue. Among them, the bibliometric analysis of 686 research articles published in bilig between 2008-2022 sheds light on us as the editorial board. This study evaluates the articles published in bilig within the framework of co-authorship, country and institutional network analysis and citation analysis. One of the main conclusions of the study using the content and citation analysis method is that the articles are mostly in Turkish and singleauthored. Another important conclusion is that most of the contributions to bilig come from universities in Turkey; especially Hacettepe University, Gazi University and Ankara University stand out.
As bilig's editorial board, we welcome all opinions and suggestions on how we can improve our quality. In this context, we are in constant consultation with the Turkish journals indexed in WoS. We carefully follow the instructions of ULAKBIM, which manages the
TR Index process. Our unchanging priorities are to improve the quality of articles, increase the diversity of authors and referees, deliver the published works to the relevant people, and adhere to ethical rules.
The study, which conducts a bibliometric analysis of bilig for the period 2008-2022, also makes some recommendations, such as increasing the number of articles in English, inviting academics from abroad to the editorial board, and publishing special issues. A bibliometric analysis of bilig for the period 2022-2025 will show that progress has been made in implementing most of these recommendations.
It is no coincidence that Hacettepe, Gazi and Ankara Universities are among those that contribute the most to the journal. This is because these are research universities and leading universities in terms of success ranking. In this context, it can be concluded that bilig is not only an academic publication that supports the success of these universities but also a journal in which the articles of the highest quality academics of the best universities are published. We will make more efforts to increase the diversity of universities and to turn bilig into a journal of the Turkic world in the true sense.
All in all, while thanking our authors and referees who have contributed to the preparation of this issue, we also remember with gratitude and appreciation all the academic and administrative staff who have contributed to the development of bilig to this day. On the
occasion of this issue, which reaches you in the first month of the new year, we wish you a Happy New Year, hoping that the year 2025 will bring beauty to our nation and to all humanity.
