Bibliometric and visual analysis of the literature on electroconvulsive therapy in psychiatry between 2000-2023

Öz

Aim: This study aims to give a bibliometric overview of the electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) literature in the psychiatry research area, published between 2000 and 2023. Material and Method: The data was retrieved on June 1, 2023, in accordance with the set search strategy, from the Web of Science Core Collection, which served as the data source. For the analysis of published literature, the bibliometrics tool VOS Viewer was employed. Results: According to the search strategy, this study included 1909 articles regarding ECT. With 567 publications and 12632 citations, the United States was determined to be the country with the greatest importance in this study. Additionally, more than 100 publications on ECT were published in Germany (n=171), Australia (n=148), China (n=127), the Netherlands (n=124), and Japan (n=110). Based on the volume of published records, the Mayo Clinic in the United States was the most significant institution in ECT research. The bulk of publications (39.9%) were published in the Journal of ECT. Conclusions: The bibliometric analysis in this study provided information on recent developments in publications on ECT from 2000 to 2023. The results can act as the basis for further field research.

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma, psikiyatri araştırma alanında 2000-2023 yılları arasında yayınlanan elektrokonvülsif tedavi (EKT) literatürüne bibliyometrik bir bakış sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Materyal ve Metod: Veriler, belirlenen arama stratejisine uygun olarak 1 Haziran 2023 tarihinde veri kaynağı olarak kullanılan Web of Science Core Collection'dan alınmıştır. Yayınlanan literatürün analizi için bibliyometri aracı VOS Viewer kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Arama stratejisine göre, bu çalışma EKT ile ilgili 1909 makaleyi içermektedir. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri 567 yayın ve 12632 atıf ile bu çalışmada en büyük öneme sahip ülke olarak belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, Almanya (n=171), Avustralya (n=148), Çin (n=127), Hollanda (n=124) ve Japonya'da (n=110) EKT ile ilgili 100'den fazla yayın yayımlanmıştır. Yayınlanan kayıtların hacmine göre, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'ndeki Mayo Kliniği EKT araştırmalarında en önemli kurumdu. Yayınların büyük kısmı (%39,9) Journal of ECT'de yayımlanmıştır. Sonuç: Bu çalışmadaki bibliyometrik analiz, 2000'den 2023'e kadar EKT ile ilgili yayınlardaki son gelişmeler hakkında bilgi sağlamıştır. Sonuçlar, daha ileri saha araştırmaları için temel oluşturabilir.
