Amaç: Çalışma, pandeminin patlak vermesinden bu yana “Üroloji ve COVID-19” alanlarında yayınlanan 1616 çalışmanın bibliyometrik analiz ve trendlerini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Böylelikle araştırmacılara bu konulardaki araştırmaların istatistiksel dağılımları hakkında temel bilgiler verilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Araçlar ve Yöntem: Web of Science Core Collection Veritabanı kullanılarak 2020, 2021, 2022 ve 2023 yıl aralığında “Üroloji ve COVID-19” konulu bibliyometrik analiz yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar aynı dönemin “Üroloji” yayınlarıyla karşılaştırılmıştır. Trendler ayrıca ücretsiz çevrimiçi görsel yazılım (carrot2) kullanılarak farklı verilerle değerlendirilmiştir.

Bulgular: Toplam 5481 makale bu çalışmalara 13036 kez atıf yapmıştır. En yaygın belge türü araştırma makalesi, en sık yayınlanan alan Üroloji & Nefroloji, en çok kullanılan dil İngilizce, en çok yayınlanan dergi Journal of Urology, en çok yayın veren ülke Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve en çok katkı sağlayan kurum Udice Üniversitesi olmuştur.

Sonuç: Dünyanın dengelerini bozan bu bulaşıcı hastalık, yayınların dengesini de kendi lehine değiştirmiştir. Ürologlar, pandemi ile mücadele ederken “Üroloji ve COVID-19” araştırmalarına izole “Üroloji” araştırmalarından daha çok önem vermiştir.

Bibliometric Analysis of Research on “Urology and COVID-19”; Web of Science Example

Öz

Purpose: The study aims to reveal the bibliometric analysis and trends of 1616 studies published in the fields of "Urology and COVID-19" since the outbreak of the pandemic. Thus, it is aimed to provide researchers with basic information about the statistical distribution of research on these topics. This study aims to reveal the bibliometric analyzes and trends of 1616 studies published in the “Urology and COVID-19” fields since the pandemic broke out. Thus, it was aimed to provide researchers with basic information about the field of research on these subjects, in which countries it was conducted, and in which journals it was mostly published.

Materials and Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted on "Urology and COVID-19" for 2020 - 2023 years using the Web of Science Core Collection Database. The results were compared with "Urology" publications of the same period. Trends were also evaluated with different data using free online visualization software (carrot2).

Results: A total of 5481 articles cited these studies 13036 times. The most common document type was research article, the most common field was Urology & Nephrology, the most common language was English, the most common journal for the Journal of Urology, the most common publishing country was the United States, and the most common contributing institution was Udice University.

Conclusion: This infectious disease, which disrupted the balance of the world, also changed the balance of publications in its favor. Urologists gave more importance to "Urology and COVID-19" research than isolated "Urology" research while fighting against the pandemic.
