Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of studies published in international journals affiliated with Turkey in the field of pediatric dentistry and to determine the position of Turkish Pediatric Dentistry at the international level.
Materials and Methods: The research was conducted using the 'Web of Science' and 'Scopus' databases. The search was performed by entering the following terms into the databases: 'pediatric dentistry' OR 'paediatric dentistry' OR 'pedodontics' and 'children' AND ('dentistry' OR 'teeth' OR 'tooth' OR 'dental' OR 'caries' OR 'oral health' OR 'oral hygiene'). Subsequently, publications were filtered by selecting 'Turkey' on a country basis. Using the 'bibliometrix' package in RStudio, data obtained from the two databases were merged. The analysis included a total of 1,949 publications. The identified publications were evaluated based on publication years, journals in which they were published, citation counts, authors, affiliated institutions, and preferred keywords. Analyses and visualizations from package in RStudio were utilized.
Results: Turkey's international collaboration rate is 5%. The United States emerges as the most frequent collaboration partner, with the journal Dental Traumatology standing out among the sources. Hacettepe University is the most productive institution, with 390 publications. The thematic map reveals that 'pulpotomy,' 'mineral trioxide aggregate,' 'fluoride,' and 'remineralization' are the most actively researched topics.
Conclusions: Based on data from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, there has been a significant scientific productivity in the field of Turkish Pediatric Dentistry between 1984 and 2024. In future studies, the comprehensiveness of the results can be expanded by analyzing different databases.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye adresli uluslararası dergilerde yayınlanmış çocuk diş hekimliği alanındaki çalışmaların bibliyometrik analizini yaparak Türk Çocuk Diş Hekimliği’nin uluslararası düzeyde konumunu belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma, “Web of Science” ve “Scopus” veri tabanları kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Tarama veri tabanlarına “pediatric dentistry” OR “paediatric dentistry” OR “pedodontics” ve “children” AND (“dentistry” OR “teeth” OR “tooth” OR “dental” OR “caries” OR “oral health” OR “oral hygiene”) yazılarak yapılmıştır. Sonrasında ülke bazında “Türkiye” seçilerek yayınlar filtrelenmiştir. Rstudio programı “bibliometrix” ile iki veri tabanından elde edilen veriler birleştirilmiş, ortak makalelerin çıkarılması sonrası elde edilen makaleler incelenerek 1984 yılı ile 2024 yılları arasında yayınlanan 1949 yayın analize dahil edilmiştir. Ulaşılan yayınlar; yayın yılları, yayınlandıkları dergiler, atıf sayıları, yazarları, bağlı oldukları kurumlar ve tercih edilen anahtar kelimeler açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Rstudio programı “bibliometrix” aracılığıyla “biblioshiny” programına ait analiz ve görselleştirmelerden yararlanılmıştır.
Bulgular: 1984-2024 yılları arasında Web of Science ve Scopus veri tabanlarından 1949 yayına ulaşılmıştır. Türkiye’nin ülkeler arası iş birliği %5’tir. En çok iş birliği yapılan ülkenin Amerika Birleşik Devletleri olduğu kaynaklara bakıldığında Dental Traumatology dergisinin ön plana çıktığı görülmektedir. Hacettepe üniversitesi 390 yayının yayınlandığı en üretken kurumdur. Tematik haritada “pulpotomy”, “mineral trioxide aggregate”, “fluoride” ve “remineralization” konularının en çok çalışılan aktif konular olduğu görülmektedir.
Sonuç: Web of Science ve Scopus veri tabanları verilerine göre Türk Çocuk Diş Hekimliği alanında 1984-2024 yılları arasında kayda değer bir bilimsel üretkenlik sergilenmiştir. Gelecek araştırmalarda farklı veri tabanlarının analiz edilmesi ile sonuçların kapsamlılığı genişletilebilir.
