Bibliometric Approach to Total Hip Arthroplasty Literature Originating from Turkey

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study is to analyze research productivity in Turkey using published articles on total hip arthroplasty. Material and methods: All scientific articles published in English in the Science Citation Index Expanded and the Emerging Sources Citation Index between 1970 and 2023 were analyzed using "Web of Science". The number of articles, authors, institutions, and the 30 most frequently cited articles were analyzed. In addition, the Scopus database was also analyzed with the same method for making comparisons. Visualization was also done with Vosviewer tool. Results: As a result of the study, we found 190 articles in the WOS database and 485 articles in the Scopus database, until the end of March 2023. according to the WOS database (journals published in ESCI and SCIE indexes), Turkey ranked 15th among 108 countries. According to the Scopus database, Turkey ranked 22nd. Conclusion: Scholars can help clarify the history of Turkish literature on THA by using the study's data summary. We discovered 190 articles in the WOS database and 485 articles in the Scopus database as a consequence of the research up until the end of March 2023. In comparison to other countries, the quantity of articles was remarkably low.

Türkiye Kaynaklı Total Kalça Artroplasti Literatürüne Bibliyometrik Yaklaşım

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, total kalça artroplastisi üzerine yayınlanmış makaleleri kullanarak Türkiye'deki araştırma verimliliğini analiz etmektir. Gereç ve yöntemler: 1970-2023 yılları arasında Science Citation Index Expanded ve Emerging Sources Citation Index'te İngilizce olarak yayınlanan tüm bilimsel makaleler "Web of Science" kullanılarak analiz edildi. Makale sayıları, yazarları, kurumları ve en sık atıf alan 30 makalesi analiz edildi. Ayrıca karşılaştırma yapabilmek için Scopus veri tabanı da aynı yöntemle analiz edilmiştir. Görselleştirme de Vosviewer aracı ile yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışma sonucunda Mart 2023 sonuna kadar WOS veri tabanında 190, Scopus veri tabanında 485 makale bulduk. WOS veri tabanına (ESCI ve SCIE dizinlerinde yayınlanan dergiler) göre Türkiye 15. sırada yer aldı. 108 ülke arasında Scopus veri tabanına göre Türkiye 22. sırada yer aldı. Sonuç: Bilim adamları, çalışmanın veri özetini kullanarak TKA ile ilgili Türk edebiyatının tarihini netleştirmeye yardımcı olabilir. Mart 2023 sonuna kadar yaptığımız araştırma sonucunda WOS veritabanında 190, Scopus veritabanında 485 makale tespit ettik. Diğer ülkelere kıyasla makale sayısı oldukça düşüktü.
