The long- and short-term benefits of breastfeeding for mothers and infants are known, and the number of studies on this subject is increasing daily. This study aimed to reveal current research trends, hotspots, and future frontiers in research on breastfeeding in Turkey.
The most productive institutions, influential authors, the journals with the most publications by the authors, core research teams, and keywords in Turkey in the field of breastfeeding were analyzed using bibliometric methods. Additionally, breastfeeding-related articles published in the Web of Science Core Collection between 1980 and 2022 were scanned. The collected data were analyzed with the R Bibliometrix package program and VOSviewer.
It was determined that research on breastfeeding has accelerated since 2004, and the number of citations has increased with the number of publications. The fields of most produc- tive writers in the area were found as social pediatrics, and the most influential institutions were İstanbul University and Hacettepe University. It was determined that there was no specializa- tion in research on breastfeeding among authors distributed based on their productivity. The results also revealed the most influential articles and journals. The word analysis revealed that the breastfeeding literature in Turkey is sensitive to current developments, whereas the current status of breastfeeding, the factors affecting breastfeeding, and the effects of breastfeeding are the top areas of research. It was observed that maternal attachment and coronavirus dis- ease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic-related issues have been studied more in recent years.
This bibliometric analysis contributes to understanding the current status and development of breastfeeding research in Turkey.
母乳喂养对母亲和婴儿的长期和短期益处是已知的，并且关于这一主题的研究数量每天都在增加。本研究旨在揭示土耳其母乳喂养研究的当前趋势、热点和未来前沿。
采用文献计量学方法分析了土耳其母乳喂养领域最具生产力的机构、有影响力的作者、作者发表论文最多的期刊、核心研究团队以及关键词。此外，还扫描了1980年至2022年间发表在《科学引文索引核心合集》中的与母乳喂养相关的文章。收集到的数据使用R Bibliometrix软件包程序和VOSviewer进行分析。
确定自2004年以来母乳喂养研究加速，引用次数随发表数量增加。该领域最具生产力的作者所在领域为社会儿科学，最具影响力的机构是伊斯坦布尔大学和哈杰泰佩大学。根据生产力分布的作者中，母乳喂养研究没有专业化现象。结果还揭示了最具影响力 的文章和期刊。词分析表明，土耳其的母乳喂养文献对当前发展很敏感，而母乳喂养的现状、影响母乳喂养的因素以及母乳喂养的影响是研究的首要领域。观察到近年来对母婴依恋和2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行相关问题的研究更多。
这项文献计量分析有助于了解土耳其母乳喂养研究的现状和发展。
