Abstract

Chest Journal, which began to be scanned in the Web of Science in 1980, is one of the leading journals in the field of Critical Care Medicine and Respiratory System (quartile 1). In this study, the research trends of the publications in the Chest Journal were examined using three different bibliometric analysis programs (Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace) in the period between 1980-2019. Along with the main statistics, keyword co-occurrence network map, density document co-citation, time map, and burst (references) analysis were performed. According to the results of the analysis, the research trends of Chest Journal were subject to discussion. The countries with the most publications are America, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Japan. According to the Co-Occurrence network map analysis, Chest journal's publications consist of clusters of cellular structures, thoracic oncology, chest infection, pulmonary and cardiovascular, sleep and pulmonary function test, and obstructive lung diseases. The studies in the "COPD / Formoterol Metered Dose inhaler" and "Patients / VTE disease chest guideline" clusters were found to be the most recent studies. This article has the potential to provide a valuable reference for scientists to understand Chest Journal's research trends and to grasp current issues in the field.
