Bibliometric analysis on infective endocarditis

“…The Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and Scopus databases are frequently used databases in bibliometric analysis. With this analysis method, publications can be analyzed using many methods such as visualization, citation analysis, mapping techniques [10][11][12]. Ready-to-use databases can be used, as well as database mining can be preferable.…”

“…Ready-to-use databases can be used, as well as database mining can be preferable. With this quantitative method, parameters such as the the leading country in a topic, authors, publication years, and contents of the publications [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. We conducted a bibliometric study with the Scopus database, as it is the widest range on publications.…”
