Scientific response to the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake: A bibliometric study

The research response to the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes followed a clear progression: an early focus on emergency response and public health, followed by injury and surgical management, and a later emphasis on psychological recovery. Despite a strong domestic research effort, low international collaboration hindered broader knowledge exchange. Sustained funding, enhanced global partnerships, and integrated mental health and trauma care strategies are essential for improving future disaster preparedness and healthcare system resilience.
