ABSTRACT
The relationship between the approach of solving problems such as income inequality, poverty, and regional disparities solely through economic growth and reality has increased the importance of the concept of inclusive growth. The aim of this study is to analyse studies on inclusive growth using bibliometric indicators. The bibliometric analysis technique, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in this study. The studies scanned in this context consist of studies on inclusive growth written in English and included in the Web of Science database. At this point, the 626 articles identified were analysed in Biblioshiny, a web interface of the open source “R” programme. The primary findings of the study indicate that the historical process of studies in this field spans from 1992 to 2026. Findings regarding studies and authors on inclusive growth revealed that there are 2,746 authors in the field, the average age of articles is 5.17, articles written in the field have an average of 40.45 citations, and the field has an annual growth rate of 4.85%. It was also determined that there are 4.35 co-authors per study and 29.49% of articles are produced through international collaboration. In the section where the findings obtained from the analysis are examined according to publications, institutions, countries, and authors, those who contribute most to the field have been identified, and the findings are supported by numerical data. The section containing the study’s findings on concepts showed that the concepts of growth, impact, management, sustainability, and sustainable development were predominantly used. Findings related to these concepts, which are predominantly used in studies on inclusive growth, were identified through word tree, word cloud, trending topics, and thematic map analyses. In the conclusion section of the study, the findings are evaluated and recommendations are made for future studies.
