Numerous informationsystems are being integrated into our daily lives, addressing various needs.Research in this domain forms the foundation of technological advancements andcontributes to the development of innovative solutions across multipleindustries [1,2,3]. Moreover, bibliometric studies serve as valuable tools forassessing knowledge dynamics, particularly in rapidly evolving fields such as Computer Science and Information Systems.They facilitate the evaluation of scientific productivity at the national,institutional, and individual researcher levels, thereby enabling theformulation of strategic policies for national scientific output [4,5,6].Inthis study, we analyze research articles published in the "Computer Science, InformationSystems" category between 2000 and 2024 with a focus on Turkey,utilizing bibliometric methodologies. The dataset was collected from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collectionon March 3, 2025. The analysiswas conducted using VOSviewer and the R Bibliometrix Biblioshiny package. Additionally,various preprocessing and database-related analyses were performed using PHP programming language, Microsoft Power BI , and Oracle database systems.Between 2000 and 2024, a total of 1,261,121documents were indexed in WoS within this research area. Of these, 43.63% (n=550,318) were researcharticles. The number of documents affiliated with Turkey (Turkey: 9,646 and Türkiye: 2,060) was 11,706, placing Turkey 28th ...
