ABSTRACT
Technology monitoring is a natural conjugate to foresight which is the observation and analysis of scientific, technical and technological environment of economic impacts in order to deduce both current and future threats and increase development opportunities. Technology monitoring is a methodology for organizations to systematically analyze technical information in a continuous way in order to gain insight and competitive advantage in a specific technical domain and is based mainly on statistical analysis of published information. This paper aims to review the existing literature and examine the evolution of such a field so that the research trends can be uncovered, including research methods. The results of an effort to identify the performance of energy, renewable energy, power and fuels research related papers published in Turkey during the last decade (2009–2018) are reported by using a bibliometric approach. Bibliometric approaches have been employed in order to assess the field of all energy research. Citation analysis is performed to assess the influence of most productive territories and authors. National and international collaboration was another field investigated in order to be compared with network analysis.
