Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 55, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: A bibliometric study is performed to evaluate Turkey's international contribution in terms of number of publications in English, included in Science Citation Index Expanded TM (SCI-E) regarding pediatric ultrasound imaging. Materials and Methods: ISI Web of Knowledge®-Science® was used for the analysis. All scientific papers published included in SCI-E in English from 1975 to 2015 were analyzed. A retrospective search was performed using the terms ''pediatric ultrasonography'', ''pediatric ultrasound'', ''children ultrasonography'', ''children ultrasound'', ''neonatal ultrasonography'', ''neonatal ultrasound'', ''neonate ultrasonography'', ''neonate ultrasound'', ''newborn ultrasonography'', ''newborn ultrasound'', ''infant ultrasonography'', ''infant ultrasound'', ''adolescent ultrasonography'', and ''adolescent ultrasound''. The results were further analyzed in terms of number of papers for each country, types of documentation, number of publications and citations per year, journal names, and institutions. Collected data from the comparison periods was statistically analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: 26.755 papers related to pediatric ultrasonography were published included in SCI-E in English between 1975 and 2015. Overall 1102 of those papers were from Turkey (4.2%). The rank of Turkey among other countries according to the number of published papers was 23rd between 1985 and 1994 and of 9th between 1995 and 2004 and of 4th between 2005 and 2015, finally. Conclusion: Turkey showed a significant positive trend in publishing papers in the scientific field of pediatric ultrasonography in the last thirty years and the rank of Turkey among other countries improved in recent decades. This can be considered as an indicator for progression of Turkey in the field of pediatric ultrasound.
