Motivation

It is a very common bibliometric study type to retrospectively analyse the number of peer reviewed articles written from a country to view the amount of contribution made in a specific scientific discipline.

These studies require too much effort, since the data is generally behind paywalls and restrictions.

I have previously contributed to a research to identify the Articles from Turkey Published in Pathology Journals Indexed in International Indexes; which is published here: Turk Patoloji Derg. 2010, 26(2):107-113 doi: 10.5146/tjpath.2010.01006

This study had required manual investigation of many excel files, which was time consuming; also redoing and updating the data and results require a similar amount of effort. That is why I am building this website to continuously update and analyse the pathology articles from Turkey.
