This study aims to
conduct a bibliometric analysis of theses on successful aging (SA) in order to
examine the development process of research in this field, as well as
scientific and methodological trends. Successful aging is a multifaceted
concept that encompasses individuals' experiences of aging in a physically,
mentally, and socially healthy, meaningful, and fulfilling manner. Given the
global increase in the elderly population, successful aging has emerged as an
increasingly significant area of research and academic focus.
In this study,
theses related to successful aging, collected from various academic databases
(specifically from the YÖK Thesis Center) over a defined period, are evaluated
using bibliometric analysis methods. This analysis aims to delineate the scope
of the existing literature on successful aging by examining parameters such as
the numerical distribution of published theses, authorship, keywords, research
methodologies, and key themes. Furthermore, it is intended to derive comprehensive
insights into the thematic and methodological trends present in the theses, as
well as the emerging research domains and theoretical frameworks within this
field.
The bibliometric
analysis conducted reveals the primary themes around which successful aging
research is concentrated, the methodological approaches that are most
frequently employed, and the gaps in the current literature. This study is
intended to provide guidance for future research in the field of successful
aging and to contribute to the academic literature within this area.
