GLOBAL BURDEN OF DISEASE: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS BASED ON THE SCOPUS DATABASE

Öz

The worldwide mortality and morbidity is now a global public health problem. Burden of disease is a joint measure of mortality and morbidity. Burden of disease studies have been implemented in many countries using the disability-adjusted life year (DALY) to assess major health problems. The purpose of this research is to examine academic publications related to burden of disease in terms of bibliometric indicators. Bibliometry is an analysis method used to measure and evaluate publications in a subject area. In this research, it is aimed to determine the scientists who direct the concept of global burden of disease with bibliometric mapping method. Research data was collected through the Scopus database. The data were analyzed by bibliometric analysis technique. In the research, author network analysis was done and visualized using the VOSviewer package program. It has been found that academic studies related to global burden of disease increased rapidly especially after 2000s. The authors who received the most citations by global burden of disease were identified as Murray C.J.L. (n=24.240) and Lopez A.D. (20.476). But it could not reach a comprehensive research in Turkey. Thus it is thought that both the ministry of health and universities should give more importance at global burden of disease in Turkey.
