Abstract :Nowadays, social network analysis, used in many different fields, is a highly effective method for visualizing and modeling inter-community relationships by determining a network structure. Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli University (AHBV) was established on May 18, 2018, with units transferred from Gazi University. This study evaluates the academic works of AHBV University from its inception to the present, particularly those expected to stand out in the fields of social sciences and arts, based on their bibliometric characteristics according to the SCI, SSCI, and AHCI indexes, using social network analysis methods. The aim of the research is to identify the areas where publications affiliated with AHBV University between 2018-2023 are concentrated, the prominent research trends in scientific studies, and the universities and institutions with which collaborations have been made. In the study, the evaluation of the publications produced by AHBV University was analyzed and visualized using social network analysis software via the R program, and subsequently interpreted. Such visualization studies will provide data sources for evaluating the publications produced by universities and for developing scientific publication policies. Additionally, by determining the institutions and research areas that hold strong positions within network structures according to calculated centrality, closeness, and other measures, this study aims to contribute to the development of AHBV University\'s scientific publication policy.
