Bibliometric Analysis of the Bladder Cancer Publications Between 1975-2018

Abstract

Background: Bladder cancer is one of the major health problems studied over the years. Emerging technologies on follow-up and treatment of bladder cancer increased scientific literature worldwide. Despite this, there is limited data about the bibliometric analysis of bladder cancer.
Materials and Methods: The bibliometric analysis of bladder cancer publications between 1975-2018 was performed by using the Thomson Reuters Web of Science database. The VOSviewer software tool was used for arranging and setting bibliometric networks.
Results: The United States of America ranked first in this field with 7963 publications and 28.3% of the world generation, followed by the Peoples Republic of China and Germany. The University of Texas System is the leading institute in published documents with 1081 papers and 3.8% of the total literature. 15.9% of the papers were printed in The Journal of Urology with 4483 manuscripts, followed by European Urology (n=867, 3.0%) and Urology (n=810, 2.8%).
Conclusions: There are relatively few articles on bibliometric analysis of urologic disorders and bladder cancer. Advanced evaluation parameters have to be defined for a more confident assessment of scientific work. Bibliometric analyses can guide young clinicians in investigating new studies.

1975-2018 Yılları Arasındaki Mesane Kanseri Yayınlarının Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Amaç: Mesane kanseri, yıllardır üzerinde çalışılan en önemli sağlık sorunlarından biridir. Mesane kanserinin takibi ve tedavisi ile ilgili gelişen teknolojiler dünya çapında bilimsel literatürü artırmıştır. Buna rağmen, mesane kanserinin bibliyometrik analizi ile ilgili veriler sınırlıdır.
Materyal ve Metod: 1975-2018 yılları arasında mesane kanseri yayınlarının bibliyometrik analizi, Thomson Reuters Web of Science veri tabanını kullanılarak gerçekleştirildi. Bibliyometrik ağların düzenleme ve ayarlanması için de VOSviewer yazılımı kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, 7963 yayın ve toplam yayınların % 28.3'ü ile bu alanda ilk sıradayken, onu Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti ve Almanya izlemiştir. The University of Texas System 1081 makale ve toplam literatürün %3.8’i ile yayınlanan dökümanlarda üst sıradaki kurumdur. Makalelerin %15.9'u The Journal of Urology'de 4483 makale olarak basılmıştır, bunu European Urology (n = 867, %3.0) ve Urology (n = 810, %2.8) izlemiştir.
Sonuç: Ürolojik hastalıklar ve mesane kanserinin bibliyometrik analizi hakkında nispeten az yayın vardır. Bilimsel çalışmaların daha güvenilir bir şekilde değerlendirmesi için gelişmiş değerlendirme parametreleri tanımlanmalıdır. Bibliyometrik analizler genç klinisyenlere yeni çalışmaların ortaya çıkartılmasında rehberlik edebilir.
