A Comprehensive Scientific Mapping Of Academic Publishing: Conceptual Trends In The Field Of Interior Architecture And Interior Design
Özet
The purpose of this research is to reveal the publishing practices in the field of interior architecture, which progress through different types of publication sources, and the conceptual trends of the prominent publishing platforms in the field of interior architecture and design, according to bibliometric data. Within the scope of the research, interior architecture and interior design source titles were listed in the Scopus database between 2000 and 2025, and data was collected between 25 August and 10 September 2025 (Scopus, 2025). Also, R Studio-Bibliometrix-Biblioshiny software was used for data analysis and visualization of scientific maps (Bibliometrix, 2025). Research Design: The study is descriptive and exploratory in nature and aims to reveal the current state of interior architecture and interior design literature and explore future trends. Bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review were adopted as the primary research strategies. Data Collection and Source Selection: Databases: Academic publications that form the basis of the study will be obtained from the following international and national indexes: Scopus database. Main Keywords: "Interior design," "Interior architecture," "Interior space," "Spatial design," and "Interior decoration." Language: English publications will be included. Time Period: 2020-2025 (the last quarter century of the academic history of the discipline). Publication Type: Articles published in refereed academic journals and conference proceedings. Data Downloading: Full texts of publications that meet the determined criteria will be downloaded with their citation information (authors, publication year, keywords, abstract, number of citations, etc.) and combined in a database. Data Analysis and Visualization: The collected raw data will be processed and interpreted using the following bibliometric analysis techniques. Software such as Bibliometrix (R Package) was used for the analyses. Performance Analyses: Production Analysis: Determining the number of publications by year and the most active authors, institutions, and countries.
