An Analysis Conducted Through A Bibliometric Study Focusing University Citizenship Behavior In Academic Trends, Using Dimensions From 1985 To 2025

Abstract

The general work of the study aims to provide a detailed literature review of studies that have made progress in examining university citizenship behavior practices using the bibliometric analysis approach. This particular study employed bibliometric analytic techniques to create scientific maps, along with performance analysis. The study utilized VOSviewer version 1.6.20 to conduct a science mapping of the literature. The research utilized the Dimensions database and included open-access articles during the study. The study reveals a total of 1037 publications and 1,836 citations during the period spanning from 1985 to 2025. The number of citations in the study reached its highest point in the 2000s, with 455 citations. However, citation follows a steady pace of advancement as the domain remains largely unexplored. A collection of six countries has contributed to this particular field, with the United States of America emerging as the most prolific in this genre, having published around works, and M/C Journal being the most productive journal in this domain over the years. When the question of grouping based on the studies arises, "Commerce, Management, and Tourism Studies" is the most productive field of study with 524 publications focusing on the citizenship behavior field. The most often used keywords are "Citizenship Behavior," "Organizational Citizenship Behavior," and" University Citizenship Behavior". The study highlights the existing status of university citizenship behavior, particularly in the "Title" and "Abstract" sections of any research work, and paves the way for further research.
