In 2023, the total number of scientific publications in biomedical engineering in Turkey stood at 183.79 units.
The trend of scientific publications in this field has shown significant fluctuations over the years. Starting from 2013, there was a notable drop in publications, but this was followed by sharp increases, particularly between 2014 and 2017. However, starting in 2018, the numbers saw a decline which persisted through 2019 and 2020. This volatility was tempered by rising numbers in the years 2021 and 2022.
Year-on-year variations reflect these stark shifts, with the largest increase observed in 2017 at 82.46% and the largest drop in 2020 at -19.4%.

Future trends to watch for include the impact of emerging technologies and increased funding in biomedical research, which could further stimulate the production of scientific publications. Additionally, the evolution of collaborative research networks and the role of policy changes in research funding are critical factors that could influence these trends.
