“…[ 4 ] Bibliometric methods can be used in various fields to investigate the effects of authors, institutions, and demographic or sociological features of countries to certain scientific field. [ 5 ] Although there has been a rising popularity of bibliometric studies in the last years, to the best of our knowledge, relatively few reports have specifically focused on the dermatological literature and medical literature lacks a study investigating bibliometric features of the documents published on vitiligo. In this study, we aimed to perform a detailed bibliometric and trend analysis of vitiligo literature.…”

Background: Vitiligo is a common depigmenting disorder with a prevalence of 0.5–2%. Despite the increasing popularity of bibliometric studies in recent years, medical literature lacks a report investigating bibliometric features of vitiligo literature. Aim: It was aimed to analyze vitiligo literature by evaluating productivity of countries, institutions, and authors, and performing assessment of publication trends, bibliometric networks, and correlations. Material and Methods: We collected all data in this study by searching databases provided by Web of Science. All documents published on vitiligo literature between 1975 and 2017 were included. We performed correlation analyses between productivity and demographical and economical features of the countries publishing vitiligo articles. Results: A total of 7187 documents were detected and 72.2% of which was original article. The peak year for publication number by year was 2016 with 528 articles and the highest number of citations was reported in 2017. The USA was the leading country by total publication number (24.82%) followed by the United Kingdom (UK), India, China, and Italy (10.91%, 8.64%, 7.54%, and 6.87% respectively). Estonia was found to be the most productive country of vitiligo literature (13.01) followed by Netherlands, the UK, and Switzerland (12.64, 11.78, and 9.25, respectively). We found a high correlation between GDP per capita and the productivity of the countries ( r = 0.732, P < 0.001). Conclusion: As revealed in our study, although vitiligo occurs worldwide, developed countries dominated vitiligo literature. Researchers from developing and least-developed countries should be encouraged and supported to perform novel vitiligo studies.

“…Moreover, bibliometric studies can be used in specific fields of study or even in whole disciplines (BULLOCK;LAWLER, 2015). This field of research is relatively recent (ŞENEL et al, 2017). The precursor of this methodology was Garfield in the mid-twentieth century (HUANG et al, 2014).…”

Objective: Retrospective evaluation of scientific productivity is a guideline for the development of future studies in the planning and quality aspects. There is only one study evaluating the scientific productivity of our country in the field of dermatology. For this reason, in this study, it was aimed to evaluate from the point of quantity and quality of dermatology publications made in our country between 2012-2016 years. Methods: All publications, registered in Index Medicus between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2016 were searched using the keywords "dermatology, Turkey" and evaluated accordingly years, topics and publication type. Web of Science database was used to evaluate citation numbers. Results: The total number of publications, research and other publication types made in the field of dermatology in our country increased every year during the dates covered by the study. However, it was observed that the rate of original research among all publications did not increase at the same rate, the number of citations per publication was low compared to other countries, and the number of publications in journals with high impact factor was very low. Conclusion: In addition to the quantitative improvement of publications in the field of dermatology in our country, plans should be made to improve them also in terms of quality.
