The Contribution of Turkey on the Research of Leishmaniasis (1980-2019): Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to review the studies on leishmaniasis since 40 years and to evaluate the increasing contribution of Turkey in terms of the studies on leishmaniasis globally. Material and Method: The literature data included all leishmaniasis research publications in the Web of Science database between January 1980 and December 2019. Language or document type limitations were not used. To evaluate the publication and research effect of Turkey, in the analysis function of the database, “Turkey” was chosen as the country and the publications on this topic were recorded based on their subject areas and yearly counts. Results: A total of 39373 publications were indexed from 1980 to 2019 in the Web of Science database. Among these publication, 541 were from Turkey. Language analysis of the publications revealed that English had the largest percentage (95.7%). When the worldwide geographical distribution of studies on leishmaniasis was analyzed, United States of America was the first with 9396 publications (23.86%). In terms of the number of publications, Turkey ranked 20th with 541 (1.37%) articles. Conclusion: Thus, this study presents information regarding the worldwide studies on leishmaniasis and provides an opportunity to compare the relationship of Turkey’s research output with that of the global one. The results of the present study will reveal the current scientific changes and thus help in analyzing the current state of leishmaniasis studies.
