Background and Aim: Sports medicine focuses on identifying, treating, and preventing sports- related injuries, playing a crucial role in enhancing athletes' performance and maintaining their health. Research papers authored by influential researchers in this field serve as foundational contributions. Analyzing their work and engaging with these authors can enhance both the quality and quantity of research in sports medicine. Therefore, this study examines scientific records indexed in the Web of Science related to sports medicine and maps the scientific landscape.
Methods: This study employs a scientometric approach. Data were extracted from the Web of Science database using the advanced search feature, applying the keywords "sports medicine" and "exercise," yielding 4,481 records. The data were refined and standardized before being analyzed using scientometric software to generate visual maps. The bibliometrix, Netdraw and BibExcel software were utilized for mapping.
Results: A scientific field map was generated based on data from the Web of Science database, revealing that the structure of sports medicine research consists of four main clusters. The United States holds the largest share of publications in this field, followed by Australia and the United Kingdom. The keyword "sports medicine" is the most frequently used term, while "orthopedics" and "sports sciences" are the most frequently co-occurring terms, appearing together 681 times.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that scientific records in sports medicine have grown significantly from 2019 to 2022. To enhance research impact and collaboration, organizations are encouraged to implement networking policies, increase knowledge exchange, and establish targeted research partnerships.
