The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) declared by the United Nations requires each country to take ownership of this process and develop policies that embrace and contribute to it. Academic studies conducted in the countries shed light on the process of producing these policies. This study attempts to reveal the scientific map of academic studies conducted in Türkiye on this subject to observe the trends in academia regarding SDGs. Accordingly, the general status of studies conducted on SDGs, international collaborations, the institutions working most on the subject, and the most studied concepts are examined. The study's dataset consists of bibliometric data from academic studies on sustainability retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database with the country selection ‘TURKIYE’ or ‘TURKEY’. A total of 18 bibliometric analyses were performed using both the cumulative dataset meeting this criterion and the datasets obtained separately for each of the 17 SDGs. The results of these analyses were integrated into electronic spreadsheets and visualised using Tableau, a business intelligence tool. The research findings reveal that most studies in Türkiye focus on SDG 13, and the general trend in Türkiye is parallel to that of the world. It has been observed that international collaboration in studies on sustainability exceeds 40%. The researchers from Türkiye collaborate the most with countries like the United States, China, and Iran. The three institutions conducting the most research on sustainability are Istanbul Gelisim University, Istanbul Technical University, and Yıldız Technical University.
