Abstract: (62 Views) |
Background and aim: Sports media are considered as one of the most important factors in the formation of social values. The main objective of the present study is to evaluate and draw a knowledge map of scientific products in the field of sports media in the Web of Science database during the years 2016-2023.
Materials and methods: The present study is quantitative in terms of approach, applied in terms of objective, and descriptive-analytical in terms of data collection. The statistical population includes the scientific products in the field of sports media in the Web of Science database during the years 2016-2023. This study was conducted using scientometric method. VOSviewer was used to draw scientific maps, and Excel and SPSS were used to analyze data. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to determine whether the data were normal or not, and the Spearman correlation coefficient test was used to answer the research hypotheses.
Findings: Evaluations show that the map of scientific collaboration of authors of sports media articles is not coherent and is scattered in different clusters and colors, which indicates that the authors of each cluster probably collaborated in a subject area and the subject field of each cluster is different from other clusters. There is also a significant relationship between the number of documents and the number of citations of universities/organizations participating in the production of documents in the field of sports media in the Web of Science database (r=0.771, p<0.001).
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the number of documents and the number of citations of authors in the field of sports media. |
