Scientometrics is a popular statistical application providing data revealing publication trends and patterns in a certain academic field. A quite limited number of studies investigating scientometric features of health and religion literature have been reported in academic literature. The present study aims to present a holistic analysis of health literature related to Shamanism, Paganism and Spirituality. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study in this field. All data of this analysis were yielded from Web of Science databases. All documents produced between 1975 and 2017 were included. In Shamanism and health field, a total of 157 documents were found, and the USA covering 35.67% of all the literature was the leading country. University of California System (USA) was the most contributor institution. Our search on Paganism and health literature retrieved 51 published documents, and the most productive institution was National Dong Hwa University from Taiwan. A total of 7862 documents were detected in Spirituality and health literature, and the most prolific author in this field was Koenig HG with 82 papers. Journal of Religion and Health was noted to be the predominant academic source in health literature related to ancient beliefs. The number of the publications produced in Spirituality and health literature was greater than total number of all documents published in health literature related to Abrahamic religions, Dharmic religions, Shamanism and Paganism.
科学计量学是一种流行的统计应用,提供揭示特定学术领域出版物趋势和模式的数据。在学术文献中,只有相当有限数量的研究调查了健康和宗教文献的科学计量学特征。本研究旨在对萨满教、异教和灵性相关的健康文献进行全面分析。据我们所知,这是该领域的第一项研究。该分析的所有数据均来自 Web of Science 数据库。纳入的文献均为 1975 年至 2017 年发表的所有文档。在萨满教与健康领域,共发现 157 篇文献,其中美国覆盖了所有文献的 35.67%,是领先的国家。加利福尼亚大学系统(美国)是最主要的贡献机构。我们对异教与健康文献的搜索检索到 51 篇已发表的文献,其中最有成效的机构是来自中国台湾的国立东华大学。在灵性与健康文献中,共检测到 7862 篇文献,该领域最有成果的作者是 Koenig HG,发表了 82 篇论文。《宗教与健康杂志》是与古代信仰相关的健康文献中主要的学术来源。在灵性与健康文献中发表的出版物数量超过了与亚伯拉罕诸教、印度教和萨满教相关的健康文献中发表的所有文献的总数。
