Özet
This study aims to visualize the structural state of scientific research on film music in the Scopus
database through bibliometric analysis. To this end, 1,433 scientific studies published between 2000 and 2025
in the fields of Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences were analyzed. The analyses were carried out in five
stages, respectively: citation analysis, co-citation analysis, bibliometric coupling analysis, co-authorship
analysis, and keyword co-occurrence analysis. Citation analysis reveals that the United States and the United
Kingdom are dominant in the field in terms of both document production and citation counts; however,
Northern European countries such as Finland and Norway are seen to have generated a significant scientific
impact in the field by producing a small number of highly influential studies. Co-citation analysis shows that
the intellectual foundations of the field are shaped around foundational texts by Chion, Gorbman, AdornoEisler, and Altman. The prominence of cognitive psychology-oriented journals shows that film music research
has established strong interdisciplinary connections beyond musicology and cinema studies. Bibliometric
coupling analysis has revealed a notable divergence between the most frequently cited studies and those with
the strongest ties to the common reference pool of the field. Co-authorship analysis findings consistently reveal
that an individual research culture is dominant at the levels of authors, institutions, and countries in film music
research. Keyword co-occurrence analysis shows that a significant portion of film music research is shaped
within the framework of digital and media literacy. The study offers a comprehensive roadmap for researchers
seeking to work in the field in terms of identifying collaboration opportunities among authors, institutions, and
countries, as well as determining the publications and researchers with the highest impact values.
