English abstract

Bibliometrics is a field of research that provides a comprehensive picture of scientific publications by studying bibliographic information. This study was designed to analyze scientific publications and review the research process in the fields of spirituality, religion, and health. In this bibliometric study, a total of 19332 scientific publications on the subject of spirituality, religion, and health in the Scopus citation database were retrieved and analyzed. The United States (U.S.) and the United Kingdom (U.K.), the University of Toronto in Canada, and Harvard Medical School in the U.S. are the top countries and scientific institutes, respectively, and published the most papers in the field. Analysis of the cooperation and citation network of authors, countries, and sources, as well as the co-religion network of words in the field of spirituality, religion, and health clarifies the status of scientific publications in this field. It can be asserted that scientific publications in the field of spirituality, religion, and health have experienced significant growth in recent years, especially since 2000.
