A BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY ON “BRAIN ABSCESS” IN WEB OF SCIENCE DATABASE

Öz

Purpose The aim of this study is to analyze the articles in the ISI Web of Knowledge-Science database with the keyword "brain abscess" in the title and to make a bibliometric analysis. Study plan As a result of the research made in the WoS database; The years in which the articles were published, the journals in which they were published and the languages of publication, the publisher companies of the journals, the countries where the studies were conducted, the first name authors of the articles and the institutions the authors were affiliated with, the categories of the studies in the WoS database and whether financial support was received in the preparation/publishing of the studies were examined, the number of citations to the articles was single were calculated individually and collectively. Results Within the scope of the study, 994 articles containing the keyword "Brain Abscess" were identified. It was determined that a total of 16330 references were made to these works and the H index was 57. Among the countries where the articles were published most frequently (n=41, 4.1%) in 2008, most frequently (n=29, 3.0%) were published in the journal Surgical Neurology, and the majority (n=892, 89.8%) were published using English language. It was determined that America (n=239, 24.0%) came first. Conclusion The presented study is the first to demonstrate Turkey's research efficiency in this area. Thanks to the increase in bibliometric research, we suggest that the scientific efficiency values of the published studies will be revealed and that future studies should be reviewed accordingly, and new bibliometric researches should be conducted.

WEB of SCIENCE VERİTABANINDA “BEYİN APSESİ” ÜZERİNE BİR BİBLİOMETRİK ÇALIŞMA

Öz

Amaç Bu çalışmanın amacı, başlığında “beyin apsesi” anahtar sözcüğü geçen ve ISI Web of Knowledge-Science veritabanında yer alan makaleleri inceleyerek bibliometrik analizini yapmaktır. Çalışma planı WoS veritabanında yapılan araştırma sonucunda; makalelerin yayınlandığı yıllar, yayınlandığı dergiler ve yayın dilleri, dergilerin bağlı bulunduğu yayıncı şirketler, çalışmaların yapıldığı ülkeler, makalelerin ilk isim yazarlara ve yazarların bağlı bulunduğu kurumlar, çalışmaların WoS veritabanındaki kategorileri ile çalışmaların yapılmasında/yayınlanmasında finansal destek alınıp alınmadığı incelendi, makalelere yapılan atıf sayıları tek tek ve toplu olarak hesaplandı. Bulgular Çalışma kapsamında “Brain Abscess” anahtar sözcüğünü içere 994 makale belirlendi. Bu eserlere toplamda 16330 atıf yapıldığı ve H indeksinin 57 olduğu belirlendi. Makalelerin en sık (n=41, %4,1) 2008 yılında yayınlandığı, en sık (n=29, %3.0) Surgical Neurology dergisinde yayınlandığı, büyük çoğunluğunun (n=892, %89.8) İngilizce dili kullanılarak yazıldığı, yayınlanan ülkeler arasında ilk sırada Amerika’nın (n=239, %24.0) geldiği tespit edildi. Sonuç Sunulan çalışma Türkiye'nin bu alandaki araştırma verimliliğini gösteren ilk çalışma niteliğindedir. Bibliometrik araştırmaların artması sayesinde, yayınlanan çalışmaların bilimsel verimlilik değerlerinin ortaya konulacağını ve gelecekteki çalışmaların da buna göre gözden geçirilerek yeni bibliometrik araştırmaların yapılması gerektiğini önermekteyiz.
