Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the growth of Heart Transplantation literature between the time frame of 1999 and 2014. There are very less number of scientometric studies have been done on this area. This is to understand our motives and desires, as well as obstacles in the scientometric study of Heart Transplantation. Methodology: Statistical tools such as frequency distribution and percentage analysis and bibliometric techniques i.e. Relative Growth Rate (RGR), Doubling Time (Dt) are used for this study. Findings: An average RGR of articles Rt(P) increased gradually from 0.68 to 2.63 (1999 to 2014) and sudden increase in the year 2008 (2.24). Correspondingly, the value of doubling time of the publication of the articles Dt(P) increased gradually from 2000(1.36 years) to 2014 (5.27 years). It indicates that the mean relative growth of Heart Transplantation literature has an increasing trend may be due to interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary nature of the research and communication pattern of the medical and surgical researchers.

Keywords: Scientometrics; Heart; Heart Transplantation; Relative Growth Rate (RGR); Doubling Time (Dt).
