This study analyzes the presence of the concept of ‘transmedia’, which has become one of the defining narrative forms of the digital age, within Turkish academic literature. First, the conceptual foundations of transmedia narrative are examined through pioneering theorists, highlighting the multidimensionality of the concept. Secondly, articles written in Turkish that contain the terms ‘transmedia’ and ‘intermedial’ in the Dergipark database are reviewed. The distribution of academic output in this field is analyzed according to publication year, research methods, and thematic focus. The findings reveal that transmedia research in Turkey predominantly focuses on case studies, while audience-centered and critical approaches remain underexplored. In light of this, a more inclusive definition of transmedia is proposed with the aim of guiding future research. Additionally, the linguistic and conceptual ambiguities surrounding the translation of the term “transmedia” into Turkish are addressed, and alternative Turkish equivalents are suggested. In these respects, the study maps the current state of the literature and identifies gaps that can inform future academic inquiry.
