Aromaterapi Makalelerinin Bütüncül Değerlendirilmesi: Bibliyometrik Bir Analiz

Öz

Amaç: Aromaterapi bitkilerin kök, yaprak veya çiçeğini damıtarak elde edilen yağların hastalıkları önlemek ve oluşmuş olan hastalıkları da tedavi etmek amacı ile kullanılmasıdır. Literatür taramasında bu konuda bibliyometrik bir araştırmaya rastlanmamıştır. Bu nedenle, bilimsel makaleleri bütünsel olarak analiz etmeyi ve küresel verimlilik ve trend konularını ortaya çıkarmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, Web of Science veri tabanından aromaterapi ile ilgili yayınlanmış 1428 makale (1985-2019) istatistiksel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Trend konularını, atıf analizlerini ve ülkeler arası işbirliklerini ortaya çıkarmak için bibliyometrik ağ görselleştirme haritaları oluşturulmuştur. Bulgular : Amerika Birleşik Devletleri 316 yayın (%22,1) ile aromaterapi literatüründe birinci oldu. İngiltere, Japonya, İran ve Avustralya yayın sayıları ile ABD takip etti (sırasıyla 143,136, 126, 74). Complementary Therapies in Medicine (50 makale), Journal Of Alternative And Complementary Medicine (47 makale) ve Evidence-Based Complementary And Alternative Medicine (36 makale) en üretken ilk 3 dergidir. Hur Mh (18 makale) en aktif yazar, Unıversity Of London (32 makale) en aktif kurumdur. Aromaterapi literatüründe en çok alıntı yapılan makale Edris tarafından yayımlanan “Pharmaceutical and therapeutic potentials of essential oils and their individual volatile constituents: A review” oldu. Aromaterapi çalışmalarında kullanılan en trend bitkilerin 111 çalışmada kullanılan Lavanta bitkisi, daha sonra sırayla, Lanalol 16, Bergamot 16, ve 12 yayında da peppermint bitkisinin olduğu gösterilmiştir. Sonuç : Aramoterapi tıbbın birçok alanında kullanım alanı olduğunu ve küresel olarak uluslararası önemli işbirlikler sayesinde bir çok dünya ülkesinde tedavi amaçlı kullanıldığı gösterilmiştir.

The Holistic Evaluation of the Articles on Aromatherapy: A Bibliometric Analysis

Öz

Objective: Aromatherapy is the use of oils obtained by distilling the roots, leaves or flowers of plants to prevent diseases and to treat diseases that have already occurred. No bibliometric research on this subject was found in the literature review. Therefore, we aimed to analyze scientific articles holistically and reveal global productivity and trend issues. Methods: In this study, 1428 published articles (1985-2019) on aromatherapy from the Web of Science database were statistically analyzed. Bibliometric network visualization maps were created to reveal trending topics, citation analysis and cross-country collaborations. Results : The United States ranked first in aromatherapy literature with 316 publications (22.1%). The USA was followed by the UK, Japan, Iran and Australia (143, 136, 126, 74, respectively). Complementary Therapies in Medicine (50 articles), Journal Of Alternative And Complementary Medicine (47 articles) and Evidence-Based Complementary And Alternative Medicine (36 articles) are the top 3 most prolific journals. Hur Mh (18 articles) is the most active author and University Of London (32 articles) is the most active institution. The most cited article in aromatherapy literature is "Pharmaceutical and therapeutic potentials of essential oils and their individual volatile constituents: A review". It was shown that the most trendy plants used in aromatherapy studies were Lavender, used in 111 studies, followed by Lanalol 16, Bergamot 16, and peppermint in 12 publications. Conclusion : Aramotherapy has been shown to be used in many areas of medicine and is used for therapeutic purposes in many countries of the world thanks to important international collaborations globally.
