OpenAlex Turkish

The aim of this study is to analyze scientific publications in the field of occupational health and safety in the agricultural sector using bibliometric methods to evaluate publication trends, prominent topics, and collaboration networks. The literature review and dataset consist of a total of 774 articles published between 1981 and 2025 from the Web of Science database. RStudio and VOSviewer software were used to map the bibliometric network data. The analysis evaluated annual publication numbers, the most cited studies, authors, institutions, journals, keywords, and collaboration networks. The findings indicate that research on the agricultural sector has increased in recent years, reaching a peak in publications and citations in 2022. The most productive author in the study was Risto H. Rautiainen, while the institution that published the most articles was the University of Nebraska Medical Center, based in the United States. The most productive and influential resource on the subject was the US-based Journal of Agromedicine. In their early studies, researchers focused on the keywords “farm injuries,” “accidents,” “wounds and injuries,” and “epidemiology.” Trend analyses revealed keywords such as agricultural machinery, tractors, child labour, mental health, stress, ergonomics, and accessibility as emerging trends.
