Abstract

Purpose: Bibliometric studies examine the accumulated scientific data on a specific subject and evaluate its scientific performance. Our study aimed to evaluate the 100 most cited publications related to Behçet's Disease regarding their bibliometric properties.
Methods: Our study was conducted using the "Web of Science (WOS) "search engine. The search was done on 01.06.2021, and the top 100 most cited publications were determined. In addition, the total number of citations of each publication, the annual number of citations, the authors and the information of the study were determined.
Results: In the literature analysis between 1975 and 2021, it was determined that there were a total of 13280 publications related to Behçet's Disease . The total citation average of the 100 most cited articles was 256.35±311.53, annual citation average of 13.31±13.41 was detected. The first area that these studies focused on were treatment (26%). A significant relationship was found between the year of publication of the article, the Q index of the journal and the class of the journal, and the number of annual citations. In addition, a significant relationship was found between the subject of the study and the presence of a group of authors in the study and both the total number of citations and the average annual citation count (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Our study is the first to evaluate and analyse the top 100 most cited studies on Behcet's Disease in the literature. Today, the importance of rheumatological diseases in the clinic is increasing day by day; Behçet's disease, which is among these diseases, has a great place.
