“…Content analysis studies in this sense form the basis of comparative studies and puts forth the research trends (Cohen et al 2005). Reviewing articles in academic journals is instrumental in gaining awareness regarding the field and monitoring the change (Gülmez & Yavuz, 2016). In addition, examining international academic journals with this aim helps to reveal trends and changes at the international level rather than limiting the review to research in a single country.…”
