Economic restructuring processes in Germany require changes within all social and health care systems regarding night shiftwork. The aim of this paper was to analyse research results referring to shift- and nightwork using scientometric methods. A total of 3092 items could be detected. A constant increase in the number of publications per year since 1977, especially since 1990' was obvious. One third of the research results, a total of 884 articles could be assigned to the USA. Great Britain could be identified with 365 articles and France with 244 published articles. Sleep, Ergonomics and Chronobiology International are the most prolific journals. The Swedish scientist Torbjörn Akerstedt is to this date the most acclaimed researcher referring to his issue. He has written 105 articles about shift- and nightwork. He is not only a most efficient author, but also has the highest h-index [30]. Self-citations and multiple co-authorships distort parameters like impact factor and h-index enormously and should be regarded from a critical point of view.
德国的经济结构调整进程要求所有社会和医疗保健系统在夜班工作方面做出改变。本文旨在运用科学计量学方法分析与轮班工作和夜班工作相关的研究成果。总共检测到3092篇文献。自1977年以来，尤其是自1990年以来，每年的出版物数量呈持续增长态势，这一点很明显。研究成果的三分之一，即总共884篇文章可归属于美国。英国有365篇文章，法国有244篇已发表文章。《睡眠、工效学与国际时间生物学》是发文量最多的期刊。瑞典科学家托布约恩·阿克斯泰德特至今仍是该领域最受赞誉的研究者。他撰写了105篇关于轮班工作和夜班工作的文章。他不仅是最高产的作者，而且具有最高的h指数[30]。自引和多重共同作者身份极大地扭曲了诸如影响因子和h指数等参数，应从批判性的角度看待。
