Abstract

Amaç: Son yıllarda otizm prevalansındaki ciddi artışa paralel olarak, bu konuda çok sayıda çalışma yapılmıştır. Çalışmamızın temel amacı, bibliyometrik analizi kullanarak otizmle ilgili yayınların tanımlayıcı analizini yapmak ve otizm ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaların daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlamaktır. Otizm literatürünün bibliyometrik analizini yapabilmek için 1980-2020 yılları arasında otizm üzerine yayınlanmış tüm çalışmalar Web of Science'dan elde edilmiştir. VOSviewer yazılımı ile belirli bibliyometrik göstergelere (ülke, kaynak ve anahtar kelimeler) göre yoğunluk ve ağ görselleştirme haritaları elde edilmiştir.
Sonuçlar: 1980'den 2020'ye kadar otizmle ilgili 59653 çalışma alındı. Bu konuda en fazla çalışmayı yayınlayan dergi, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders’dır. En fazla yayına sahip ülkeler ABD (%46,31), İngiltere (%11,39) ve Kanada (%6,02) olmuştur. Otizm hakkında en çok makale yayınlayan ilk 3 kuruluş University of California System (3623), University of London (2671) ve Harvard University (1663) olmuştur.
Sonuç: Başta ABD olmak üzere tüm dünyada otizmle ilgili çalışmalar artış göstermektedir. Bu çalışmalar farklı alanlarda ve birçok farklı kaynakta yayımlanmıştırlar. Burada amaç otizmle ilgili çalışmalarda işbirliğini artırmaktır.

The evolution of autism: A bibliometric analysis

Abstract

Background: In parallel with the dramatic increase in the autism prevalence, a large number of articles has been published in recent years. The main aim of our study was to make descriptive and evaluative analysis of autism related publications using bibliometric mapping and provide better understanding of autism. To make the bibliometric analysis of autism literature, all studies published from 1980 to 2020 on autism were selected from Web of Science. Density and network visualization maps according to certain bibliometric indicators (country, source, and keywords) were obtained with VOSviewer software.
Results: From 1980 to 2020, 59653 studies on autism were retrieved. The journal publishing the most studies on this subject is Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. The countries having the highest number of publications were USA (46.31%), England (11.39%) and Canada (6.02%). The top 3 organization that published most articles about autism were University of California System (3623), University of London (2671) and Harvard University (1663).
Conclusion: Studies on autism were on the rise worldwide, especially in the USA. They published in different fields and in many different sources. What needs to be done here is to increase cooperation in work with autism.
