A General Bıblıometrıc Evaluatıon Of Publıcatıons Included In The Web Of Scıence Index In The Fıeld Of Local Governments

Summary/Abstract: While the globalization process is taking place in the world today, localization processes are also gaining importance. Meeting public needs and changes in the management approach trigger a wave of administrative reforms. In this transformation process, concepts such as "transparency, accountability, participation, localization, democratization" are increasingly coming to the fore. In recent years, there has been a trend around the world towards the decentralization of government and the transfer of public services to smaller local governments. Local governments are important in public service production because they are the administrative units closest to the citizens and can effectively determine local needs. Over the last 25 years, the dominant role of the central government in the provision of public services has changed to that of local governments and the market. In the discussions on centralized management and decentralized management, reducing the cost of public services and “effectiveness-efficiency-efficiency” came to the fore. Especially since 1980, international organizations have been encouraging 'localization' and 'local policies'. A general bibliometric evaluation has been made regarding the studies on local governments in this effective Web of Science citation index.
