Scientific production on the evaluation of the quality of eating disorder websites, indexed in international databases

Abstract

Bibliometric analysis of studies on the quality of eating disorder websites. The\ndescriptors Eating Disorders (which includes Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa)\nand the Internet were considered to be adequate. The results were: 190 publications\nwere studied. 111 institutions were identified with studies published in 112 journals. A\ntotal of 603 signatories were counted. The average age of the articles was 3.98 ± 0.18\nyears (CI95% 3.63 � 4.34), the obsolescence rate was 3 years and the Price Index was\n38.95%. There are significant differences in information retrieval between the periods\nof 1997 to 2004 and from 2004 to 2009, Pearson�s chi-square 11.43 (d.f.=1; p<0.001).\nAs well as in access to the original source between the different databases, Pearson�s\nchi-square 22.23 (d.f.=4; p<0.001). In conclusion: There is a large institutional spread\nwithout major producers and the articles show a low index of collaboration, even\nthough the subject matter is very topical.
