Integrated education, curriculum, bibliometric analysis, science mappingAbstract
This research aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the integrated education literature. The data were obtained from Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus database. In the research, 1486 data were accessed from 689 sources. The obtained data were analysed and visualised with the R-based Bibliometrix analysis program and Vosviewer program. This study used citation analysis to identify productive authors, important documents and sources. In addition, coauthorship and cocitation analyses were used to reveal the intellectual, conceptual and social structure of the field. Research results have revealed that although there was no major expansion in the first years when research on integrated education was published, there has been a rising trend in this field in the last twenty years. This study identified the contributions of countries, journals, authors, and widely cited articles to the field. The study concluded that many countries have made significant contributions to integrated education research, but most of the publications were published in the USA. This study showed in the most productive journal analysis that journals publishing for medical education are more effective in this field. As a result, it is thought that the findings of this research will guide all stakeholders interested in this field.
