Purpose: Stroke becomes increasingly important disease which threatens public health in Turkey as in all over the world. Our objective with this study was to examine the trends of literature about stroke among journals published in Turkey over the past five years. Methods: This bibliometric analysis of stroke related articles included 102 journals indexed in ULAKBIM Turkish Medical Database between 2009 and 2013. Journals were held preliminary elimination by issues and 807 volumes of 52 journals within the General Medical Journals were examined one by one. Turkish Journal of Neurology, Turkish Journal of Cerebrovascular Disease, Turkish Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish, Turkish Journal of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation and Turkish Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation were examined as site-specific journals and total volume was 98 in these journals. Studies were analyzed by type of study, issue and department. Results: While 52 journals have a total of 807 volumes and 10146 articles, only 66 studies (28 original articles, 11 reviews, 17 case reports) were found related to the stroke within the General Medical Journals. While site-specific journals have 92 volumes and 1714 articles, the number of stroke related researches was 98. Discussion: Although there are some studies related to the stroke in Turkey, it has been seen that the number of these studies is not enough when its public and health related importance is considered. It has been thought that the factors which cause these results are needed further investigation to increase the number of qualified researches in our country.
