Abstract :Purpose: This study reviews the existing literature to fill a gap in this field by providing a bibliometric analysis of economic refugee research in Türkiye. The analysis utilizes Bibliometrix in RStudio and VOSviewer to derive descriptive metrics as well as patterns of co-citation and co-authorship, examining a total of 319 records from the Web of Science Core Collection between 1993 and 2024. Design/Methodology: The results show a dramatic increase in the number of publications since 2016, peaking in 2021 and largely driven by the Syrian refugee crisis. Journal of Refugee Studies and International Migration have emerged as the most influential journals. Leading institutions such as Hacettepe University and Koç University have led the research efforts, while Acarturk C and Ilkkursun Z have also made significant contributions to the field. Findings: Stronger legislative frameworks and urban and regional planning are also highlighted in the 12th Plan. This report emphasizes Turkey\\\'s Zero Waste policy advances and provides policymakers with valuable insights on sustainable waste management. It shows the necessity for public participation, international cooperation, and ongoing improvement in waste management systems. Limitations: Limitations of the study include the reliance on only one database and linguistic barriers. Originality/Value: The study underlines the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of refugee research in Türkiye, highlighting international co-authorship and diverse research priorities.
