Abstract

Purpose: It is aimed to conduct bibliometric analysis to explore scientific interest in rehabilitation. The date of bibliometric analysis was 17.01.2023, and a total of 410.000 documents from all times to this date were analyzed.
Materials and Methods: The data for this study was obtained from Scopus, a multidisciplinary database, for the period of sixty-two years (1960-2022) using the keyword ‘rehabilitation’. Our bibliometric analysis includes articles, authors, subject area, document types, countries, languages, affiliations, publication years, citations, and number of citations. Since Scopus allows the download of 2000 data at a time, citation reports after 2021 were examined.
Results: 109,138 of 410.000 articles were in all open Access and 342.918 were in English. When we look at the distribution of the number of articles by year, there were 10,095 articles in 2023, 27,615 articles in 2022, 25,594 articles in 2021, and 22,718 articles in 2020. Documents types were; article (72.5%), conference paper (9.9%), review (9.8%), book chapter (2.3%), and editorial (1.7%).
Documents according to subject areas were as follows; Medicine (N=282.301), Health Professions (N=66,434), Engineering (N=53,704), Neuroscience (N=26,016), Computer Science (N=25,326), Social Sciences (N=23,080), Psychology (N=21,384), Nursing (N=19.481). A total of 199 cited documents have been reached. Sixty-two in 2023; 132 in 2022; 5 in 2021. The h index was 4.
Conclusion: We see that 'Rehabilitation' is increasingly becoming an area of interest for many different disciplines, as developing technology and quality of life in the field of health are at the forefront of treatment approaches.

Abstract

Amaç: Rehabilitasyona bilimsel ilgiyi araştırmak için bibliyometrik analiz yapmak amaçlandı. Bibliyometrik analiz tarihi 17.01.2023 olup, bu tarihe kadar tüm zamanlardan toplam 410.000 belge analiz edilmiştir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmanın verileri multidisipliner bir veri tabanı olan Scopus'tan altmış iki yıllık (1960-2022) bir sürede 'rehabilitasyon' anahtar kelimesi kullanılarak elde edildi. Bibliyometrik analizimiz makaleleri, yazarları, konu alanını, belge türlerini, ülkeleri, dilleri, kurumları, yayın yıllarını, atıfları ve atıf sayısını içerir. Scopus aynı anda 2000 verinin indirilmesine izin verdiği için 2021 sonrası atıf raporları incelendi.
Bulgular: 410.000 makalenin 109.138'i tamamen açık erişimde, 342.918'i İngilizce idi. Makale sayılarının yıllara göre dağılımına bakıldığında 2023 yılında 10.095, 2022 yılında 27.615, 2021 yılında 25.594, 2020 yılında ise 22.718 yazı bulunmaktadır. Belge türleri; makale (%72,5), konferans makalesi (%9,9), inceleme (%9,8), kitap bölümü (%2,3) ve editoryal (%1,7) idi. Konu alanlarına göre belgeler şu şekildeydi; Tıp (N=282.301), Sağlık Meslekleri (N=66.434), Mühendislik (N=53.704), Nörobilim (N=26.016), Bilgisayar Bilimleri (N=25.326), Sosyal Bilimler (N=23.080), Psikoloji (N=21.384), Hemşirelik (N=19.481). Toplam 199 alıntı belgeye ulaşıldı. 2023'te 62; 2022'de 132; 2021'de 5. H indeksi=4 idi.
Sonuç: Sağlık alanında gelişen teknoloji ve yaşam kalitesinin tedavi yaklaşımlarının başında yer almasıyla ‘Rehabilitasyon’un pek çok farklı disiplinler için giderek ilgi alanı olduğu görüyoruz.
