Abstract:

Aim: Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic diseases worldwide and it causes significant morbidity by involving many organs. In this study, we aimed to review the scientific literature on brucellosis and to compare the publications from Turkey. Materials and Methods: Scopus bibliometric database was searched for the analysis of the publications. Original research articles made between 1930 and 2021, containing the keywords “brucellosis” or “Brucella spp.” “Article” in their title, abstract and keywords were found. Publications were evaluated in terms of the institution, author, publication year, subject, number of citations and the journal in which they were published. Results: It was determined that there were 8903 publications on brucellosis and the first publication was published in 1930. Of these, 7890 were research papers. The most scientifically productive countries for brucellosis were the United States (USA), Turkey and China. The highest number of articles were published in Zhurnal Mikrobiologii Epidemiologii Immunobiologii (n=297), Veterinariia (n=164) and Journal of The American Veterinary Medical Association (n=97). The three leading institutions with the most articles on this subject are; Yüzüncü Yıl University, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, and Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. Conclusion: It has been determined that there are publications from countries where there is a lot of dealing with animal husbandries such as Iran and our country, but there is a decrease in the number of articles after 2018 in the world and after 2014 from our country.
