Abstract
Populism, as a political concept, has garnered substantial attention emerging as a subject of growing global concern. This bibliometric research seeks to investigate the prominence and trends of populism, with a specific emphasis in academic publications in Turkey indexed in Dergipark. The keyword "populism" emerged as the most effective, leading to the exclusion of other keywords from the analysis. The primary objective of this study is to observe the evolving role in academic publications. This analysis does not seek to comprehend the underlying drivers and consequences of populism on democratic values and institutions. Instead, it aims to contribute to the expanding body of knowledge about populism by providing a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of scholarly works. Drawing upon data retrieved from Dergipark, a prominent repository of academic publications, this study will discern publications on populism and its related subtopics, aiming to identify patterns and shifts over time. As a result, this bibliometric analysis will not only underscore the significance of the concept of populism but also lay a foundation for further in-depth research on the topic. By concentrating on Turkey and utilizing data from Dergipark, this study endeavours to enrich the academic understanding of the rise of populism.
