OBJECTIVE: Although several studies have examined the contribution of specific countries, journals, and authors in different scientific disciplines, little is known about the contribution of different world countries, journals, and authors to scientific research in the field of "Spirituality, religion, and health" (S/R). The present study aims to analyze the last 15 years of research in the field of spirituality and religiousness (S/R) through a bibliometric analysis. METHODS: Using the Pubmed database, we retrieved all articles related to S/R field for the period 1999-2013. We then estimated the total number of publications, number of articles published per year, articles published per country, journals with most publications in S/R field, most productive authors, and most used keywords. RESULTS: We found a growth of publications in the last years, most from the United States and the United Kingdom and published in the English language. Noteworthy, some developing countries such as India, Brazil, Israel, and Iran are at higher positions in this list. The S/R articles were published in journals embracing all fields of research, including high impact journals. CONCLUSION: In the present study, we took a closer look at the field of "Spirituality, religion, and health," showing that this field of research has been constantly growing and consolidating in the scientific community.
目的:尽管已有多项研究考察了特定国家、期刊和作者在不同科学学科中的贡献,但对于世界各国、期刊和作者对“精神性、宗教与健康”(S/R)领域科学研究的贡献却知之甚少。本研究旨在通过文献计量分析来剖析过去15年里精神性与宗教性(S/R)领域的研究情况。 方法:利用PubMed数据库,我们检索了1999年至2013年期间所有与S/R领域相关的文章。随后,我们估算了出版物总数、每年发表的文章数量、各国发表的文章数量、S/R领域发表文章最多的期刊、产出最多的作者以及使用最多的关键词。 结果:我们发现近年来出版物数量有所增长,其中大部分来自美国和英国,且以英文发表。值得注意的是,一些发展中国家,如印度、巴西、以色列和伊朗,在这份榜单中处于较高位置。S/R领域的文章发表在涵盖所有研究领域的期刊上,包括高影响力期刊。 结论:在本研究中,我们对“精神性、宗教与健康”领域进行了更深入的观察,结果表明该研究领域在科学界一直在不断发展和巩固。
