Article Main Content

Nutrition informatics is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of nutrition and dietetics sciences. As seen from large databases (as Pubmed, Weeb of Science etc.) in the field of informatics various applications have been developed that use nutritional data to provide tools that will help nutrition scientists, professionals and practitioners export useful conclusions and produce accurate and personalized guidelines concerning nutrition and diet. On the other hand, bibliometry uses quantitative methods for the analysis of written publications, such as books, papers in journals, conference proceedings, etc. In this paper we use bibliometric measurements and methods in order to examine the growing association and interconnection of informatics applications and nutrition.

Keywords: Bibliometry, Informatics, Nutrition.
