dc.description.abstractGeoheritage refers to the scientific, aesthetic and cultural value of geological formations and is closely related to the concepts of geotourism, geosite, geopark, geodiversity and geoconservation. All these concepts work together to protect the scientific, educational and economic value of geoheritage and to use it sustainably. In this study, the findings of a bibliometric analysis that comparatively examines geoheritage literature in the international and Turkish context are presented. The analysis was carried out using the Biblioshiny package of the R program. The methodology of the study is as follows: determining the boundaries of the research, collecting data, analyzing data, creating and interpreting bibliometric maps. In the first stage of the research, studies conducted between 1994-2024 were determined using the databases Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, Researcgate, Dergipark Academic, Y & ouml;kTez. The studies were analyzed within certain limitations and the results were visualized with bibliometric maps. The results indicate that the topic of geoheritage is explored through an interdisciplinary approach in the international literature, while the literature in T & uuml;rkiye remains underdeveloped in this field at the global level. Despite the geological and geomorphological advantages provided by its geographical location, T & uuml;rkiye has not been able to fully utilize its existing geoheritage potential. Establishing stronger connections between studies conducted in T & uuml;rkiye and the international literature is of great importance.
