Abstract

Aim: This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of articles published in Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica (AOTT) from 2013 to 2023.

Methods: Articles published in AOTT from January 2013 to December 2023 were analyzed using bibliometric methods. The analysis included article type, number of authors, number of institutions authors worked for, country of the first author, international collaboration for Turkish authors, citation counts, and numbers of reads and downloads.

Results: 1035 articles were reviewed, with a significant portion being retrospective studies (44.4%). Basic science studies constituted 16.5% of the total, closely followed by case reports (15.7%). The structure of the institution where the first author worked was a university hospital, in 603 articles (58.26%). In 932 articles (90.05%), the gender of the first author was male, and in 103 articles (9.95%), the gender of the first author was female. The total number of authors ranged from 1 to 15 (average: 4.75±1.53, median: 5), and the number of institutions authors worked for averaged 2.24±1.32 (range: 1-14, median: 2). Citation numbers ranged from 1 to 186 (average: 12.78±15.68, median: 8). The total number of citations to all articles was 15127.

Conclusion: This study reveals the status and trends of articles published in AOTT over 11 years.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, 2013-2023 yılları arasında Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica'da (AOTT) yayımlanan makalelerin bibliyometrik analizini gerçekleştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Yöntem: 2013 Ocak ile 2023 Aralık arasında AOTT'da yayımlanan makaleler bibliyometrik yöntemler kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Analiz; makalelerin türü, yazar sayısı, yazarların çalıştığı kurum sayısı, ilk yazarın ülkesi, Türk yazarlar için uluslararası iş birliği, atıf sayıları, okunma ve indirilme sayılarını kapsamıştır.

Bulgular: Toplam 1035 makale gözden geçirildi, çalışmaların önemli bir kısmı retrospektif çalışma (%44.4) idi. Temel bilim çalışmaları yayımlanan makalelerin %16,5'ini, vaka raporları ise %15,7'sini oluşturdu. Birinci yazarın çalıştığı kurumun yapısı 603 (%58.26) makalede üniversite hastanesiydi. Toplam 932 makalede (90.05%) ilk yazarının cinsiyeti erkek, 103 makalede (9.95%) ise kadın idi. Toplam yazar sayısı 1 ile 15 (ortalama: 4.75±1.53, medyan: 5) arasında değişirken, yazarların çalıştıkları kurum sayısı ise ortalama 2.24±1.32 (dağılım: 1-14, medyan: 2) olarak bulundu. Atıf sayısının 1 ile 186 (ortalama:12.78±15.68, medyan:8) arasında değiştiği saptandı. Tüm makalelere yapılan toplam atıf sayısı 15127 idi.

Sonuç: Bu çalışma AOTT’de 11 yıllık süre içinde yayımlanmış makalelerin durumunu ve eğilimlerini ortaya koymuştur.
