This bibliometric analysis aims to examine articles published in Journal of Transcultural Nursing (JTCN), between 1989 and 2024.
Method:
This study analyzed 1,675 JTCN publications from 1989 to 2024 using Scopus as a data source. Performance analysis and scientific mapping techniques were used for bibliometric metadology. Analyses were performed with VOSviewer and Bibliometrix software.
Results:
In total, 1,675 articles were included in the study. The most prolific authors are Leininger, M., Boyle, J.S., Pacquiao, D.F., and Zoucha, R. The leading countries in terms of number of publications are the United States, Canada, and Australia. According to the co-occurrence analysis, six research themes emerged. In addition, it was determined that “nursing care,” “COVID-19,” “social determinants of health,” “health equity,” and “refugees” were trending topics.
Discussion:
Our findings can provide nurses and academicians with ideas on the subject by identifying trending topics and leading researchers in JTCN.
