English abstract

The Journal of Hospital Librarianship is the most influential journal in the field of hospital libraries. This study, using bibliometric and visualization methods, provides a comprehensive analysis of the Journal of Hospital Librarianship. The results of the bibliometrics indicated that the citation received by papers was ascending, and the average citation for each document was 1.06. Helen-Ann Brown Epstein with 26 documents, is the most prolific author. About 86 percent of the documents were published by authors from the United States. The LSU Health Sciences Center, with 14 documents, is the most active institution. The article entitled "Gray literature: Its emerging importance" is considered the most highly cited article in the journal receiving 79 citations. Visualizing and clustering the important terms in the title and the keywords of the articles using the VOSviewer software suggests that these terms form seven clusters. Hospital library, information need, and hospital librarian were the most important terms in the title of the articles, and hospital libraries, libraries and internet were the most important keywords. In addition, visualizing the abstract of the articles showed that "hospital libraries", "survey research", "health information," and "evidence-based medicine" are the main four clusters of articles. The publishing trends in this journal have been accompanied by ups and downs and the United States has been one of the main countries contributed to this journal. The results of this study can be a road map for researchers and editors of this journal.
