Obsesif Kompulsif Bozukluğun Bibliyometrik ve Altmetrik Analizi ve Görselleştirilmesi: En Çok Alıntı Yapılan 100 Etkili Çalışma

Abstract

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder [OCD] is a psychiatric/psychological disorder that can start in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood and progress quite severely depending on age of onset, and several other reasons. It is characterized by obsessions and compulsions that repeat and cause significant distress in a person's life. While obsessions cause distress, compulsive behaviors can help alleviate the stress evoked by the obsessions albeit temporarily. When the bibliometric analysis of OCD was performed, it was observed that the existing studies were from several fields such as psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, pharmacology, clinical psychology, pediatrics, biochemical molecular biology, genetics, and behavioral science. This multidisciplinary approach might be interpreted as an indication that OCD is a mental disorder that can be investigated through several frameworks. In this context, in this study, the first 100 most frequently cited articles on OCD were compiled and their bibliometric analysis was carried out. In this article, the types, categories, years of publication and citations of the top 100 most cited articles on the OCD issue, the most cited articles’ journals and their features, the origin of the publications and the relations between countries, the most influential universities and institutes with the top 100 most cited articles on OCD, abstract and keyword analysis of the top 100 articles about OCD which were created using data mining method, top 10 productive authors and current altmetric effects were included. It is thought that this study would guide the researchers from different professions for their future work on OCD.
