Thiago Gomes da Trindade, Muhammet Damar, Andrew Pinto

Background: This study aims to evaluate the contribution of Canadian Primary Health Care (PHC) experts to the relevant literature over a 40-year period, to compare their productivity in this area with that of other countries, and to identify the key topics that Canadian researchers have focused on within this domain.

Approach: In this study, documents produced in the field of PHC affiliated with Canadian institutions were analyzed using bibliometric methods, utilizing the Web of Science database on 02/09/2024. Additionally, topic modeling using Latent Dirichlet Allocation was performed for content analysis of the obtained articles. Bibliometric analyses were conducted using Vosviewer, Biblioshiny, and Microsoft Power BI. For machine learning applications, Python libraries such as Scikit-learn, Gensim, and Wordcloud were employed. The types of analyses used in this study included co-authorship analyses; cooccurrence analyses of author keywords; citation and cocitation analyses; as well as various text analyses for author keywords, titles, keywords plus, and abstracts.

Results: Canada ranks as one of the three most productive countries in the field of PHC research, with its universities occupying leading positions in this domain. Particularly in recent years, Canadian researchers have intensely focused on topics such as influenza, COVID-19, young adults, social determinants, social accountability, access to care, delivery of health care, multimorbidity, clinical practice guidelines, and telemedicine.

Conclusions: Canada is one of the key countries influencing and contributing to the development of PHC research. Our study has highlighted Canada's impact on the PHC field by examining its scientific productivity over the past forty years.
