What is being done in the metaverse literature in a variety of health-related fields, including Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, Midwifery, and Dentistry, and what topics are explored in this literature? In this study, a content analysis of the studies linked with the term metaverse in all health-related literature is presented. The studies were carried out on the documents accessed in Web of Science and Scopus searches made with the words "Metaverse" and "metaverse" on 06/05/2022. For 312 papers, data was retrieved from the Scopus bibliometric database, and for 240 publications, data was retrieved from the Web of Science data source. In the field of health, there haven't been many direct studies on metaverse technology. This is because metaverse technology is made up of many different technologies that work together and are always getting better. Some of these technologies are augmented reality, social networks, virtual reality, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and avatar. The study also tells field researchers about metaverse studies that are important in the health sector and about changes in the literature as a whole. According to the research areas, the documents found had to do with the field of health, and only the researches in the field of health were evaluated. It is interesting to think about how metaverse technology will change scientific research, health services, and health-related processes. The study looks at the current state of the literature on metaverse technology, as well as the future of the field and what it can do. Virtual reality or augmented reality applications have defined themselves as augmented reality under the metaverse. These applications are most useful in critical situations in the health sector and in processes that are hard and must be done by trial and error. In addition to the tremendous advances in technologies (blockchain, computer vision, haptic devices, sensors, computer networks) with which metaverse technology is associated in recent years, the mechanical resolution of the sense of touch in the Nobel Peace Prize in physiology and medicine received in 2021 can be seen as one of the field's critical milestones. The growth of the field and past experiences show that many real-world applications can be moved to the metaverse universe in the future. One of the fields that will be affected the most by this interaction is health care.

Artificial intelligence encompasses a wide range of approaches, methodologies, and techniques aimed at mimicking human intelligence in machines. In recent times, the concepts of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), Super AI, and Narrow AI have attracted considerable attention. Undoubtedly, the success of ChatGPT in capturing all attention has played a significant role in this. Artificial intelligence technology has a profound impact on all sectors, and sector representatives are striving to adapt to this technology more quickly. It is projected that artificial intelligence could generate an economic size of 13 trillion American dollars by 2030. Developments in artificial intelligence technologies undoubtedly lead to significant improvements in the functioning of public institutions and access for citizens. Artificial intelligence has the potential to be used in many public services, including security and defense, healthcare services, education, transportation and infrastructure, environmental and natural resource management, law and justice systems, among others. Therefore, evaluating the types of artificial intelligence, Narrow AI applications, and chatbots for public use is seen as highly beneficial from the perspective of public administration and the public sector. In our study, the topics of super artificial intelligence, generative artificial intelligence, narrow artificial intelligence, and chatbots have been extensively evaluated within the context of the public sector and public administration. Utilizing findings from both Turkish and English literature reviews, the importance and potential impacts of artificial intelligence within the public sector, along with current trends, have been comprehensively assessed. This research delves into the concepts of artificial intelligence and its subsets—super AI, generative AI, narrow AI, and chatbots—within the general framework of the public sector. China and the United States are pioneering and leading countries in terms of investment. Although the U.S. stands out in many areas regarding investment, China's integration of artificial intelligence with national strategies and its policies indicate that it may play a more dominant role in the future. There are four main implementation areas of artificial intelligence in the public sector: efficiency and automation, service delivery, data-driven governance, and ethical and regulatory challenges. A review of the literature reveals that the ethical, legal, and social implications of implementing artificial intelligence in the public sector require more careful consideration. The study makes a significant contribution to the field of artificial intelligence discussions in public administration and the public sector, providing a comprehensive assessment of current discussions on artificial intelligence in the literature.

Üniversiteler, yeni fikir ve teknolojileri, içinde bulundukları ekosistem içinde geliştirmekte, ülkelerin ihtiyaçları olan yetenekli, üretken ve değişken şartlara uyum sağlayan iş gücünün geliştirilmesine olanak sağlamaktadır. Bu sayede, üniversiteler, küresel rekabet ortamında ülkelerin daha güçlü bir şekilde var olabilmeleri için üstlendikleri görevi yerine getirmeye çalışmaktadırlar. Üniversiteler de bu bağlamda rekabet içindedir ve dünya genelinde entelektüel yetenek ve yaratıcılık gibi ölçütler üzerinden değerlendirildikleri sıralama sistemleri bulunmaktadır. Bu sıralama sistemlerindeki konumları, yükseköğrenim hakkında ulusal bir tartışmanın tetiklenmesine yardımcı olmaktadır. Dünya genelinde kullanılan pek çok sıralama modeli ya da endeksi olup, her birinde farklı ölçütler ve ölçüt ağırlıkları kullanılmaktadır. Ulusal literatürde, dünya üniversiteleri arasında yapılan sıralama sistemlerini tanıtan, bu sistemler içinde üniversitelerimizin yerini ortaya koyan ve sıralama göstergelerinin ağırlıklandırılmasına değinen birçok çalışmaya rastlanmaktadır. Ancak, Türkiye’deki üniversitelerin bu sıralama sistemleri içinde daha üst sıralarda yer alabilmeleri için yapılması gerekenleri kapsamlı bir şekilde ele alan ve çözüm önerileri sunan, Yükseköğretim Kurulu’nun halihazırda yürüttüğü faaliyetler ile birlikte tartışan bir çalışma gözlemlenememiştir. Belge analizi yöntemine göre gerçekleştirilmiş olan çalışmanın, bu açıdan tamamlayıcı ve destekleyici olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Digital transformation significantly influences public administration by integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data analytics across various governmental functions. In this study, the use of LDA alongside advanced bibliometric techniques such as citation analysis and co-citation networks to explore the evolution and current status of digital transformation in public administration provides a structured examination of large data sets obtained from the Web of Science, providing a thematic and intellectual insight into the field. Analyzing 628 articles, our research highlights how traditionally engineering-associated technologies are increasingly applied within the social sciences, transforming public management processes and policies. Our findings reveal that digital transformation in public administration is predominantly driven by external pressures rather than internal organizational initiatives. The importance of this study lies in its ability to map and visualize the transformative impact of digital technologies on governance structures, policy-making processes, and public engagement. Revealing that the databased, more transparent and participatory nature of public administration has increased, the study not only maps the thematic evolution of public administration but also discusses the consequences of these transformations for policy makers and public administrators. Integrating digital tools has enhanced service delivery and operational efficiency but also presents challenges, such as the need for comprehensive cybersecurity strategies and continuous adaptation to technological advancements.

The metaverse was first introduced in 1992. Many people saw Metaverse as a new word but the concept of Metaverse is not a new term. However, Zuckerberg's press release drew all the attention to the Metaverse. This study presents a bibliometric evaluation of metaverse technology, which has been discussed in the literature since the nineties. A field study is carried out especially for the metaverse, which is a new and trendy subject. In this way, descriptive information is presented on journals, institutions, prominent researchers, and countries in the field, as well as extra evaluation on the prominent topics in the field and researchers with heavy citations. In our study, which was carried out by extracting the data of all documents between the years 1990-2021 from the Web of Science database, it was seen that there were few studies in the literature in the historical process for the metaverse, whose popularity has reached its peak in recent months. In addition, it is seen that the subject is handled intensively with virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, and the education sector and digital marketing fields show interest in the field. Metaverse will probably have entered many areas of our lives in the next 15-20 years, shape our lives by taking advantage of the opportunities of developing technology.

Bilişim sektörü özellikle iki binli yıllar sonrasında büyük bir dönüşüm geçirmiştir. Bu dönüşüm tüm sektörleri bir şekilde etkilemiştir. Çalışma bu değişim ve dönüşümü yıllar içinde değerlendirmekte ve bu etkiyi, değişimi paydaşlar üzerine etkisini tartışmaktadır. Türkiye ve dünyada bilişim sektörünün bu değişimden nasıl etkilendiğini ortaya koymakta, bilişim sektöründe ilgili dönemlerde ön plana çıkan ülkelerin bu yöndeki başarılı olduğu noktaları değerlendirmektedir. Bilişim sektöründeki zaman içindeki değişiminin, akademik disiplinler üzerinde ne tür değişimler oluşturduğunu, yönetim bilişim sistemleri disiplinini merkeze alarak değerlendirmektedir. Çalışmamıza kaynak oluşturan dokümanlar belirli bir sistematik ile ve düzende taranmış, belirlenen araştırma sorulanını cevaplanması için kapsamlı literatür taraması ile konu değerlendirilmiştir. Önceleri bilişim sektörü, ABD, Almanya, Japonya gibi sektörde köklü bir geçmişi olan ülkeler üzerinden dönüşmektedir. Sonraları, yıllar içinde yürüttükleri başarılı politikalar ile Hindistan, İsrail, İrlanda gibi ülkeler, sektörde söz sahibi olmuşlar ve önemli bir yer elde etmişlerdir. Günümüzde ise doksanlı yıllarda sektörde ismini çok duymadığımız Çin, bilişim sektöründe yürüttüğü kararlı politikalar ile ön plana çıktığı görülmektedir. Hızla dijitalleşen dünyada önceleri sektörde ismi duyulmayan pek çok ülke bu sektörde varlık göstermeye başlamaktadır. Türkiye iki binli yıllarda sahip olduğu yoğun genç nüfusa günümüzde sahip değildir. Türkiye’nin bilişim sektöründe farklılaştırılmış ve ülke dinamiklerinin farkında stratejiler gütmesi gerektiği ifade edilebilir.
