Özet
Purpose: The aim of this study is to perform a bibliometric analysis of publications in the field of physiotherapy based in Türkiye. Methods: The study included all publications in the field of physiotherapy between 1988-20024, published or accepted for publication in various international journals related to Türkiye. The publications included in the bibliometric analysis were accessed using the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection. To access the publications, the keywords physical therapy, physiotherapy, physical rehabilitation and manual therapy were typed into the advanced search tab of the WoS Core Collection. Turkey and Türkiye were selected as the region/country filter and English was selected as the language filter. "RStudio/Biblioshiny" and "Vosviewer" software were used for analysis and visualization. Results: The analysis revealed a total of 5,511 publications in the field of physiotherapy from Türkiye between 1988 and 2024. The university most affiliated with publications was Hacettepe University and the main funder was TÜBİTAK. Recently, there were trend topics like chemotherapy, muscle activation, COVID-19, quality of life, postural control, validity and reliability. In addition, when cross-country collaboration was analyzed, it was observed that researchers in Türkiye mostly collaborated with researchers in Europe and the Balkans, and that the countries of collaboration have changed recently Conclusion: As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the annual publication increase rate of Türkiye-based publications in the field of physiotherapy was 12.82% and the number of publications in the last ten years -especially after 2016- has accelerated.
