Tıp ve Yaşam Bilimleri Literatürüne Türkiye'nin Katkısı (1988-1997)
Özet
The contribution of Turkey to positive sciences is increasing. Turkish
scientists published more than 5.100 articles in scientific journals
indexed by the Institute for Scientific Information’s Science Citation
Index, which elevated Turkey to the 25th place in the world rankings in
terms of total contribution to science. In this paper, we report the
preliminary findings of the bibliometric characteristics (authors and
affiliations, medical journals and their impact factors, among others)
of a total of 8.842 articles published between 1988 and 1997 by
scientists affiliated with Turkish institutions and indexed in MEDLINE,
a well-known biomedical bibliographic database.
