Özet
Since its first conceptualization nearly three decades ago, the Metaverse has become a part of daily life. It refers to a virtual space where people interact in a digital environment beyond physical reality. It is also related to a range of new terms and concepts, such as cryptocurrency, gamification, and NFT. Because of the wide usage of the term, the Metaverse has attracted the attention of many disciplines, from computer science to interpersonal communication studies, and from sociology to marketing. Accordingly, the current study examines how academics and researchers from different academic fields are interested in this term. A total of 91 academic papers regarding the Metaverse were subjected to content analysis. These were sampled from DergiPark, an online hosting service and editorial workflow management system for academic journals published in Turkey. Using MAXQDA, the articles were examined in terms of year, language, journal, keywords, scientific field, academic discipline, methodology, sampling, and Metaverse-related concepts. The results showed that most Metaverse research in Turkey has been conducted within social sciences using qualitative methods while the majority of articles were written in Turkish. Notably, the concept of the Metaverse has attracted the attention of researchers from many different fields, including religion, fashion, marketing, tourism, economy, health, and sports.
