Sağlık turizmi konusuna ilişkin akademik çalışmaların özellikle 2000’li yıllardan sonra yoğunlaştığı, en fazla çalışmanın 2011 yılına (% 16,3) ait olduğu görülmüştür.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Makalelerin % 57,7’sinde görgül yaklaşım tercih edilirken % 42,3’ünde kavramsal yaklaşım tercih edilmiştir. En fazla makalenin (53) turizm alanında çalışan yazarlar tarafından yapıldığı bunu coğrafya (44) ve tıp (32) alanındaki yazarların izlediği görülmüştür. Türkçe makalelerin daha çok coğrafya alanında çalışan akademisyenler tarafından “termal” alt başlığı, İngilizce yayımlanan makalelerin ise tıp alanında çalışan akademisyenler tarafından “tıbbi tedavi” alt başlığında yoğunlaştığı görülmüştür. İncelenen makalelerin önemli bir kısmının (% 61) çok yazarlılık durumu sergilediği elde edilen sonuçlardandır.&lt;/p&gt;

“…Here, studies or publications on particular fields are investigated according to various parameters. The obtained data, such as keywords, the number of authors, the number of citations, the research topic, etc., are evaluated (Temizkan, Çiçek, and Özdemir 2015). Hence, bibliometric analysis, which has a wide field of study, can provide readers with relevant findings and even reveal deep information about a single journal or a particular topic (Garfield 1972).…”

“…Additionally, research on health tourism (Temizkan et al, 2015), alternative tourism (Düşmezkalender and Metin, 2019), and sustainable tourism (Yeksan and Akbaba, 2019) has been evaluated with bibliometric analysis, providing insights into alternative tourism types beyond mass tourism and the fundamental concepts of tourism. Tayfun et al (2016) conducted a bibliometric analysis of 367 postgraduate theses on tourism published between 1985 and 2016, categorizing them based on certain characteristics.…”
