101 Top-cited Dentistry Articles From Turkey: A Bibliometric Analysis

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and analyse the 100 top-cited published articles with the first author affiliated in Turkey institutions. Materials and Methods: Dental articles with authors from Turkey were searched using the “Advanced Search” tool of the Web of Knowledge. The main institution was identified as the address of the first author in Turkey. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the results. Results: The 101 top-cited articles were cited 12,577 times and were published between 2016 and 1981. The top-cited article with the highest number of citation was cited 351 times. The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry published the highest number of top-cited articles, and most of the studies covered by top-cited articles focused on prosthetic dentistry. Twenty-two institutions have made contributions to the top-cited articles. Forty-five articles were produced by individual institutions. The field of basic science had the highest number with 54 articles, followed by the field of clinical research with 40 articles. “Implant” was the main study topic of articles. Randomised controlled trial was the most common study design for articles in the field of clinical research, and the majority of the articles had level II of evidence. Conclusion: This study provided insights about scientific trends of dentistry in Turkey. If the focus of randomised controlled trials is extended to other clinical topics besides implant and international collaboration is increased, articles may be more recognised and cited.

Türkiye’den En Çok Atıf Alan 101 Diş Hekimliği Makalesi: Bibliyometrik Analiz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye kurumlarına bağlı ilk yazar tarafından yayınlanan ve en çok atıf yapılan 100 makaleyi değerlendirmek ve analiz etmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: “Web of Knowledge” veri tabanının “Advanced Search” aracı kullanılarak Türkiye adresli yazarlara ait dental makaleler hakkında bir araştırma yapıldı. İlk yazarın ana kurumunun Türkiye adresli olduğu yayınlar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Sonuçları özetlemek için tanımlayıcı istatistik kullanıldı. Bulgular: En çok atıf yapılan 101 makale toplam 12.577 alıntı aldı ve 2016 ile 1981 yılları arasında yayınlandı. En çok alıntı yapılan makalenin atıf sayısı 351 idi. Yayımlanan makaleler önemli ölçüde protetik diş hekimliği ile ilgili olup, yayınların en fazla yayımlandığı dergi “The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry” oldu. Yirmi iki kurum en çok alıntı yapılan makalelere katkıda bulundu. Kırk beş makale tek merkezli kurumlar tarafından üretildi. Temel bilim alanı 54 makale ile en yüksek sayıya sahipken, bunu 40 makale ile klinik araştırma alanı takip etti. İmplant makalelerin ana çalışma konusuydu. En yaygın çalışma tasarımı klinik araştırma alanındaki makaleler için randomize kontrollü çalışma ve makalelerin çoğunluğu için kanıt düzeyi II. seviyeydi. Sonuç: Bu çalışma Türkiye’deki diş hekimliğinin bilimsel eğilimleri hakkında bir fikir ortaya koymuştur. Randomize kontrollü çalışmaların konusu implantın yanı sıra diğer klinik konulara da genişletilirse ve çalışmalarda uluslararası iş birliği artırılırsa, makaleler daha iyi tanınabilir ve daha fazla atıf alabilir
