Abstract :The study aims to examine the scientific processes of the 2011 civil war in Syria and the subsequent developments in articles on the concept of Syrian refugees between 2013 and 2024. The situation of the Syrian population, which is spread across many different countries, has resulted in numerous scientific studies and has been studied in various dimensions. Performance analysis, scientific mapping, and bibliometric analysis were carried out using the VOS viewer (1.6.18) and bibliometrix, a R studio software package tool. The sample area of the research consists of 2197 papers obtained from the Web of Science database and limited by articles. The results show that the publication process began in 2013 and has gained momentum since 2017 and peaked in 2021. The most commonly used keywords are “refugees”, “Syrian refugees,” “Syria,” “Turkey,” and “Lebanon.” Trend themes include “poverty,” “integration,” and “health.” The country with the highest number of publications and references is Türkiye.
