Abstract
COVID-19 salgını nedeniyle, özellikle yaşlılar arasında sosyal izolasyon ve yalnızlığa odaklanan çalışmalarda yaş ayrımcılığına olan ilgi önemli ölçüde artmıştır. Genellikle yaşlı bireylere yönelik ayrımcılık olarak algılanan ageism, cinsiyetçilik ve aktif yaşlanma gibi kavramlarla da bağlantılıdır. Bu çalışma, Web of Science veri tabanındaki yaş ayrımcılığına ilişkin araştırmaları bibliyometrik analiz yoluyla incelemektedir. Çalışma yayın kategorileri, en çok atıf alan ülkeler ve kurumlar, önde gelen araştırmacılar ve anahtar kelime trendlerine odaklanmaktadır. Sonuçlar, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nin bu alanda en çok atıf alan ve yayın yapan ülke olduğunu göstermektedir. Liat Ayalon, yayın ve atıf sayısına göre lider araştırmacı olarak kabul edilmektedir. Son çalışmalar yalnızlık, sosyal izolasyon, nesiller arası ilişkiler ve aktif yaşlanma gibi anahtar kelimeleri giderek daha fazla vurgulamaktadır. Bu analiz, yaşçılık araştırmalarının değişen odağına ve küresel yaşlanan nüfus bağlamında artan önemine ilişkin değerli bilgiler sunmaktadır.

Abstract
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in ageism has significantly increased, particularly in studies that focus on social isolation and loneliness among the elderly. While often perceived as discrimination against older individuals, ageism is also linked to concepts such as sexism and active ageing. This study analyses research on ageism in the Web of Science database through bibliometric analysis. The primary questions concentrate on publication categories, the most-cited countries and institutions, leading researchers, and keyword trends. The results indicate that the United States is the most cited and published country in this field. Liat Ayalon is recognised as the leading researcher based on the number of publications and citations. Recent studies increasingly highlight keywords such as loneliness, social isolation, intergenerational relationships, and active ageing. This analysis offers valuable insights into the evolving focus of ageism research and its growing significance in the context of global ageing populations.
