Abstract

ABSTRACT
Background:
Bibliometric studies can direct academics. There have been many specialties and subspecialties where bibliometric analyses have been published, but our literature search yielded no bibliometric analysis of the frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedure. The primary objective of this study was to identify the most frequently referenced papers on FET procedure research and investigate the research trends.
Methods:
A dataset of all scientific journals published in the English language was created using the Web of Science (WOS) database. This search was then cross-referenced with a comparable search phrase query of the Scopus Library database in order to locate any publications that could have been overlooked during the first search. Citation counts were used to rank the articles. Also knowledge maps were created using VOSviewer software, and articles and reviews pertaining to the FET procedure in CVDs were taken from the WOS Core Collection.
Results:
A total of 484 documents on Scopus and 494 documents on WOSpertaining to the FET procedure were included in this study. The leading countries that published most of the research were Germany, Japan, and Italy in both databases. The largest subset of the FET procedure articles was published since 2012. The most cited authors were Karck, Shrestha, and Uchida. The mean Hirsch index of the articles was 40 and 10.47 per article.
Conclusion:This study offers information on the traits and standards of the FET procedure literature that has received the most citations, as well as a ranking of the most important sources for this procedure. This work provides as a guide to what constitutes a citeable FET procedure publication by offering the most important references and mostly publishing journals.

Donmuş fil hortumu prosedürü hakkında araştırma eğilimleri ve en çok alıntı yapılan makaleler

Abstract

Amaç:
Bibliyometrik çalışmalar akademisyenleri yönlendirebilir. Bibliyometrik analizlerin yayınlandığı birçok uzmanlık ve alt uzmanlık vardır, ancak literatürü araştırdığımızda donmuş fil hortumu (FET) prosedürünün bibliyometrik analizinin olmadığını gösdük. Bu çalışmanın birincil amacı, FET prosedür araştırması hakkında en sık başvurulan makaleleri belirlemek ve araştırma eğilimlerini araştırmaktır.
Yöntem:
Web of Science (WOS) veri tabanı kullanılarak İngilizce dilinde yayınlanan tüm bilimsel dergilerden bir veri seti oluşturulmuştur. Bu arama daha sonra ilk arama sırasında gözden kaçmış olabilecek yayınları bulmak için Scopus Kütüphanesi veritabanının karşılaştırılabilir bir arama ifadesi sorgusu ile çapraz referanslandı. Makaleleri sıralamak için atıf sayıları kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca VOSviewer yazılımı kullanılarak bilgi haritaları oluşturulmuş ve CVD'lerdeki FET prosedürü ile ilgili makaleler ve incelemeler WOS Core Collection'dan alınmıştır.
Bulgular:
Bu çalışmaya Scopus ile ilgili 484 ve FET prosedürü ile ilgili WOS ile ilgili 494 belge dahil edildi. Her iki veri tabanında da araştırmaların çoğunu yayınlayan önde gelen ülkeler Almanya, Japonya ve İtalya olduğu görüldü. FET prosedürü makalelerinin en büyük alt kümesi 2012'den beri yayınlandığı gözlendi. En çok alıntı yapılan yazarlar Karck, Shrestha ve Uchida idi. Makalelerin ortalama Hirsch indeksi makale başına 40 ve 10.47 idi.
Sonuç:
Bu çalışma, en çok atıf alan FET prosedürü literatürünün özellikleri ve standartları ile bu prosedür için en önemli kaynakların bir sıralaması hakkında bilgi sunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, en önemli referansları sunarak ve çoğunlukla dergileri yayınlayarak, atıf yapılabilir bir FET prosedürü yayınını neyin oluşturduğuna dair bir kılavuz niteliğindedir.
