Rotavirüs Aşısı Çalışmalarında Küresel Trendler

Abstract

Objective: The aim of the current study was to investigate global research trends and collaborations on the Rotavirus vaccines. Methods: We conducted bibliometric research in this study on the Web of Science database with the keywords related to the rotavirus vaccine. And also visualization techniques were used for mapping the collaborations. We only included the research articles and review articles. Results: We reached 5093 publications according to our search, and 52.916% were published as open access. The most preferred publication languages were English (96.682%). Most of the articles (13.627%) on the rotavirus vaccine were published in the Vaccine journal. The publications were from 164 countries globally. Most of the publications were from the United States of America (USA) (42.981%), England (9.641%), India (6.892%), Australia (6.146%), and Belgium (5.910%). The Centers For Disease Control Prevention, League of European Research Universities Leru, and World Health Organization (WHO) were the leading affiliations on rotavirus vaccine studies. The H indexes of the publications from the USA were higher (H index: 127), but the Belgian publications’ average number of citations per publication was the highest. Conclusions: The quantity of papers on the rotavirus vaccine has increased over time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the League of European Research Universities Leru, and the WHO were the most active institutions, and the USA was the most productive country. The number of publications from countries where the disease is common was below the desired level.
