Bibliometric Analysis of Whistleblowing Researches in the Field of Management

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to highlight the importance of the concept of whistleblowing, to make the existing knowledge visible, to draw a roadmap for future research that will contribute to the field, and to reveal the bibliometric profile of publications on whistleblowing. For this purpose, the Web of Science Core Collection (WOS) database was searched for studies that contain the term “whistleblowing” in the title, abstract, or key words. No year restriction was applied, only English publications were selected as language, and 10 fields were selected as WOS categories, namely Ethics, Business, Management, Business Finance, Public Administration, Economics, Political Science, Nursing, Industrial Relations Labor, Social Science Interdisciplinary. As a result of these limitations, a total data set consisting of 704 publications was reached. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using R software with the obtained data. The analyses revealed the performance of whistleblowing-related publications, sources, authors, countries, and keywords in terms of year, citation, and frequency criteria. The study has also made visible the conceptual, intellectual, and social structures that have formed around the subject. It is expected that the results of the research will be useful for researchers working on whistleblowing in terms of showing the main outlines of the subject, trends in the subject, and the most important journals and articles published, evaluating the scientific publication performance of institutions, countries, and authors on the concept, preventing repetitive research, and trying to fill the research gap in the literature.
