Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, COVID-19 ile ilgili en çok atıf alan 100 dental makalenin bibliyometrik olarak karakterize edilmesi amaçlandı.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma kapsamında değerlendirilecek olan COVID-19 ile ilgili en çok atıf alan 100 dental makale, 19 Mayıs 2021 tarihinde, Web of Science Core Collection veri tabanındaki "Diş Hekimliği, Ağız Cerrahisi ve Tıp" kategorisi taranarak belirlendi. Araştırmaya dahil edilen 100 dental makale; makale başlığı, yayın tarihi, yazar sayısı, ait olduğu kurum ve ülkesi, yayımlandığı dergi ismi, derginin etki faktörü ve çeyrek dilimi, atıf sayısı, çalışma tasarımı, çalışma konusu, ve kanıt düzeyi açısından bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi ile değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: COVID-19 ile ilgili en çok atıf alan 100 dental makalenin ortalama atıf sayısı 32.77 ± 97.31 idi. Bu makaleler 43 farklı dergide yayınlanmıştı. Makale başına atıf sayısı ve dergi etki faktörü arasında pozitif bir korelasyon vardı (p<0.05; Spearman’s rank testi). Dört makalenin atıf sayısı 100'den fazla idi. Otuz-iki ülkeden, 521 farklı yazar makalelere katkı sağlamış olsa da, makalelerin sadece %28'sinde uluslararası işbirliği vardı. En fazla yayın sayısı olan ülkeler ABD ve Çin olarak tespit edildi. Makalelerin %50'si VII ve %32'si V kanıt düzeyine sahipti. En fazla çalışma tasarımının geleneksel derleme (n=38), ve kesitsel çalışmalar (n=26) olduğu belirlendi.

Sonuç: COVID-19 ile ilgili en çok atıf alan 100 dental makalenin bibliyometrik olarak incelendiği bu çalışma; mevcut durumu, farklı disiplinler arası ilişkileri ve popüler araştırma eğilimlerini sunmaktadır. Analizimize göre, yayınlanan makalelerin çoğunluğu düşük kanıt düzeyine sahiptir. Araştırmacılar arasında daha fazla uluslararası işbirliğinin kurulması, COVID-19 ile ilgili gelecekteki diş hekimliği makalelerinin bilimsel kalitesini arttırabilir.

Bibliometric analysis of the 100 most-cited dental articles on COVID-19

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to bibliometrically characterize the top 100 most cited (T100) dental articles about COVID-19.

Materials and Method: In the present study, the Web of Science core collection database was used to identify the T100 dental articles on COVID-19 in the category of "Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine'' on May 19, 2021. Among the included top most cited articles, the following parameters were recorded and bibliometrically analyzed as article title, publication date, authorship, institution and country of origin, journals, with its impact factor (IF) and quartile, number of citations, study design, study topic, and level of evidence (LOE).

Results: The mean citation count of the T100 dental articles on COVID-19 was 32.77 ± 97.31. The T100 dental articles were published in 43 different journals. The number of citations was positively correlated with journal IF (p<0.05; Spearman’s rank test). Four papers were cited more than 100 times. Although 521 authors from 32 different countries contributed to the articles, only 28% had international collaborations. The most productive countries were the USA and China. Of the T100 articles, 50% were of LOE VII and 32% LOE V. The most common study type was narrative reviews (n=38) followed by cross-sectional studies (n=26).

Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis of the T100 dental articles on COVID-19 presents the current status, relationships between disciplines, and popular research trends. According to our analysis, the majority of the published articles are of low level of evidence. The establishment of further international cooperation between researchers may improve the scientific quality of future dentistry articles on COVID-19.
