Abstract
Objective: The Organization of Turkic States (OTS) was established to produce cooperation between the countries of the Turkic World in fields such as education and health. This study was conducted to evaluate the publication performance in the field of medicine in the Turkish World between the years 2012-2021. Material and Methods: The scientific efficiency of OTS countries and Turkmenistan in the field of medicine was examined using the Scopus database. Data such as the total number of articles, the number of citations, and the H-index were analyzed. Results: The ratio of the publications published by OTS countries in the field of medicine to the publications published in the world is 2.1%. Türkiye generated 96% of the publications from the OTS countries. Following Türkiye, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan had 1.8%, 0.8%, 0.69%, 0.4%, and 0.01% of the publications, respectively. It was observed that the scientific publications producted by the countries were in an increasing trend. Howewer the low number of citations of the publications was striking. Conclusion: Although OTS countries have progressed remarkably with time in medical publications, the countries that split from the Soviet Union have a lot of room for scientific productivity. Countries themselves or OTS entirely should take steps toward the formation and improvement of the scientific landscape.
