Introduction: The study's goal is to examine the scientific outputs on Trachoma that have been published globally. Material and methods: A descriptive bibliometric analysis study was carried out. The Web of Science Core Collection was used as a bibliographic database and Vos Viewer software version 1.6.18 for Windows was used to create the required network visualization. The search was conducted by using the keywords "trachoma" or "Chlamydia trachomatis" in the title. The most extensive timeframe was used, which included the years 1970 through 2021. Other publication genres such as case reports, editorials, and letters were eliminated from the search since they were not peer-reviewed papers. The overall citation count of each trachoma-related publication published was the study's primary outcome. The topic of the publications, the publishing journal, the year published, the language, the place of origin, the names of the first authors, the Hirsch (H) indexes, and the number of citations analyzed were all secondary outcomes. Results: A total of 6556 articles were detected. The number of articles has never dropped under 100 articles per year since 1985. The highest number of articles was published in 2021 (n=233). 6251(95.348%) of the articles were published in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded) journals. The University of California System was the leading affiliation on trachoma research. The USA (n=2585), England (n=910), and Canada (n=336) were the countries with the higher number of publications. The articles from the USA had the highest H indexes and the articles from England had a higher number of average citations per item. Conclusion: Studies on trachoma are increasing worldwide. The USA and England are the leading countries in scientific production in this regard. The USA and England are the leading countries in scientific production on this topic.
In this study, meteorological drought-related studies (drought analysis, drought monitoring, and drought prediction) published between 1980 and 2021, which are based on the Scopus database, were comprehensively investigated using bibliometric analysis.1346 publications were assessed according to several indicators including publication types, year of publication, countries, journals, authors, keywords, the title of publication, and the number of citations. The results of the analysis were visualized with the VOSviewer software. The results indicated that the number of publications increased gradually from 2013 to 2018, followed by a sharp increase from 2019 to 2020. This shows that the importance of studies in the field of meteorological drought on a global scale has increased considerably in recent years. However, about 77% of the authors published only one publication in the investigated period. Results of Lotka's law, Price's law, and Pareto's law revealed that there were very few highly productive authors. China and the United States were the first two countries among 117 countries in terms of the number of publications they produce. Turkey was the ninth country in the ranking of the countries with the highest number of publications with 46. The journal that published the most publications in this field is the Journal of Hydrology with 53 publications. The most-cited journal was Water Resources Management with 1710 citations. The increase in the number of publications after 2019 was also reflected in the number of citations. About 60% of the total number of citations in the investigated period were in the last 3 years. This shows that many researchers have recently drawn their attention to this field recently. This also indicates that studies on meteorological drought will increasingly continue. These findings will serve as an instructive guide for researchers in this field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
