Abstract :Bibliometric analyses reveal the intellectual, social, and conceptual structure of the publications. In bibliometric analysis, the trend of scientific publications in various disciplines in a certain period is revealed with the help of quantitative indicators. The primary purpose of this study is to create a bibliometric profile of the articles published in the Journal of Ankara University Faculty of Communication between 2014 and 2021. The research preferred the bibliometric method because it is convenient to examine any publication and categorize and report the data systematically. 105 articles written by 128 researchers were examined in the journal during the specified period. The research examined bibliometric indicators such as article and citation frequencies, most cited authors, co-citation analysis, common word analysis, and co-authorship networks. In addition, criteria determined by Price, Lotka, and Pareto were used in the research to reveal author productivity. The research results showed that the articles published in the Journal of Ankara University Faculty of Communication do not comply with Price, Lotka, and Pareto principles. Research findings show that empirical studies in communication have gained importance compared to theoretical studies in recent years.
