Özet:

 The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted health systems and economies worldwide, creating a global crisis that necessitates international cooperation. The aim of this study is to explore research areas and thematic trends in publications related to COVID-19 and economic crises using co-word analysis. A total of 5094 publications, published between 2020 and 2024, related to the keywords economic crisis and COVID-19 were examined using the Web of Science WoS database. The publications were analyzed using R Studio and the Bibliometrix package. The annual growth rate of publications related to COVID-19, and economic crises peaked in 2022. The initial publications in 2020 focused on the epidemiological definition of the pandemic, while from 2021 onwards, studies on economic impacts and crises gained more attention. Co-word analysis revealed an increase in research addressing the relationship between the pandemic and economic crises. The thematic map analysis identified key themes such as COVID-19 and financial crisis, which showed a high degree of centrality and formed the research focus, with these terms appearing in most of the publications. Additionally, niche themes such as connectedness and stock market pointed to specific studies examining financial connections and market dynamics. This clearly demonstrates how the interaction between COVID-19 and economic crises has evolved over time and how research focus areas have shifted. The study concludes that research addressing the relationship between the pandemic and economic crises plays a critical role in filling gaps in literature and in developing strategies for future pandemics. Future research problems could be structured to enhance the ability of countries and international organizations to cope with economic crises and develop strategies to prepare for future pandemics.

 COVID-19 pandemisi, dünya genelinde sağlık sistemlerini ve ekonomileri ciddi şekilde etkileyerek, uluslararası iş birliğini zorunlu kılan küresel bir kriz yaratmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 ve ekonomik kriz konularına yönelik yayınlardaki araştırma alanlarını ve tematik eğilimleri eş kelime analizi yöntemiyle keşfetmektir. Web of Science WoS veri tabanı üzerinden, 2020 ile 2024 yılları arasındaki ekonomik kriz ve COVID-19 ile ilgili anahtar kelimelerle yayımlanmış 5094 yayın incelenmiştir. Yayınlar, R Studio programı ve Bibliyometrik paketi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. COVID-19 ve ekonomik krizle ilişkili yayınların yıllık artış hızı, özellikle 2022 yılında en yüksek seviyeye ulaşmıştır. 2020 yılındaki ilk yayınlar pandemi sürecinin epidemiyolojik tanımına yönelikken, 2021 yılından itibaren ekonomik etkiler ve krizle ilgili çalışmalar daha fazla ilgi görmüştür. Eş kelime analizi sonuçları, pandeminin ekonomik krizle olan ilişkisini ele alan araştırmaların arttığını ortaya koymuştur. Tematik harita analizinde COVID-19 ve financial crisis gibi temel temaların büyük bir merkezilik göstererek araştırma odağını oluşturduğu, bu terimlerin çoğu yayında yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, connectedness ve stock market gibi niş temaların, finansal bağlantılar ve piyasa dinamiklerini inceleyen spesifik araştırmalara işaret ettiği gözlemlenmiştir. Bu, COVID-19 ile ekonomik kriz arasındaki etkileşimin zaman içinde nasıl evrildiğini ve araştırmaların hangi alanlara kaydığını açıkça göstermektedir. Çalışmada pandeminin, özellikle ekonomik krizle olan etkileşimini ele alan araştırmaların, literatürdeki boşlukları doldurmak ve gelecekteki pandemilere dair stratejiler geliştirmek adına kritik bir role sahip olduğu sonucuna varılmaktadır. Gelecek araştırmalarda temel araştırma problemleri, ülkelerin ve uluslararası kurumların ekonomik krizlerle başa çıkma yeteneklerini ve gelecekteki pandemilere hazırlık stratejilerini geliştirecek şekilde kurgulanabilir.
