Background and Aim: Sports medicine focuses on the identification, treatment, and prevention of sports-related injuries, playing a crucial role in enhancing athletes' performance and maintaining their health. The research papers and studies by researchers identified as influential authors are recognized as foundational authors in the field. Studying their works and engaging with these authors can enhance the quality and quantity of research in this domain. Therefore, this paper analyzes the scientific records indexed in the Web of Science related to sports medicine and maps the scientific landscape.
Methods: This research is applied and conducted with a scientometric approach. Data were extracted using the advanced search feature of the Web of Science database, searching for the keywords "sports medicine" and "exercise," and retrieving 4481 records. The data were refined and standardized before being entered into scientometric software to create the desired maps. bibliometrix, Netdrow, and BibExcel software were used for mapping.
Results: Based on data obtained from the Web of Science database, a scientific map of this field was drawn and it was determined that the scientific structure of sports medicine is composed of 4 main clusters. The United States has the largest share in this field, followed by Australia and the United Kingdom. The keyword "sports medicine" is the primary and most frequently used term. The most frequent synonyms are between "orthopedics" and "sports sciences" with 681 occurrences.
Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that scientific records in sports medicine have seen significant growth from 2019 to 2022. In order to improve performance and utilization, organizations are advised to develop cooperation and networking policies, increase knowledge absorption, and establish specific research partnerships.
