Abstract:

Purpose: This study aimed to make a bibliometric analysis of endocrown studies published in the International Endodontic Journal (IEJ), Journal of Endodontic (JOE) and Australian Endodontic Journal (AEJ) within the scope of Science Citation Index Expanded (Sci-Exp). Methods: Studies published in IEJ, JOE and AEJ journals were determined using the keyword 'endocrown'. The article title, keywords and content of the articles were examined. The publications were recorded, including the journal, publication year, countries where the authors were located, type of publication, number of citations. Results: One abstract, three research articles, and four reviews, were retrieved. Five of these studies were published in the IEJ and the remaining three were in the JOE, any publication related to endocrowns could not be found in the AEJ. JOE was superior to IEJ in terms of the number of citations. The number of researchers participating in studies was the highest in Brazil. Conclusion: Limited number of articles were found on endocrowns in the endodontic journals within the scope of sci-expanded. All reviews and the abstract were included in IEJ whereas all of the research articles were published in JOE. The most cited publication was a research article in JOE.
