Abstract
Objective: In this study, it was aimed to present a comprehensive summary of the scientific publications in the field of pediatrics between 1980-2022 through bibliometric analysis and to determine the contribution of Turkey's publication trends to global productivity by comparing the publication trends of the world countries and Turkey.
Materials and Methods: A Web of Science (WoS) database was used to download all tagged articles in the field of pediatrics between 1980-2022. Downloaded publications were analyzed using bibliometric approaches. The literature search was conducted with the keyword "Pediatrics" in the "Research Field" category. The correlations between publication numbers and certain economic development indicators of countries worldwide were evaluated using the Spearman correlation coefficient in accordance with the data distribution.
Results: In the literature review, it was determined that 459912 of the publications with 809649 were in the Article category, and there were 19476 articles in the article category in the field of pediatrics addressing Turkey. Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, Pediatrics International, Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism and Turkish Archives of Pediatrics were determined to be the top four journals that contributed the most to the field of Pediatrics globally. A highly significant positive correlation was found between the number of articles produced by countries in the field of pediatrics and GDP and GDP PPP (r=0.781, P<0.001; r=0.720, P<0.001).
Conclusion: In this bibliometric study, a summary of 459912 articles published between 1980-2022 and 19476 articles published in Turkey was shared. Turkey's significant contribution to global productivity was found in the 8th place with 19476 articles.
