dc.description.abstractObjectives: This study aimed to analyze publication and citation trends, productive journals, influential authors, university productivity, and conceptual structures in the field of mental health and psychological well-being using bibliometric analysis methods. Methods: This bibliometric study was conducted using 522 research articles from the Web of Science database. The analysis evaluated annual publication counts, citation counts, author and institutional performance, regional distribution, co-citation networks, thematic mapping, and citation networks. Core journals in the field were also identified Results: The findings indicate that while the number of annual publications has increased over time, citation counts have fluctuated. The most productive journal was identified as Personality and Individual Differences. The most frequently used concepts in the field were mental health, depression, and stress. Among 1,849 authors, Creed PA stood out with 5 publications, and Crocker J. with 826 citations. In terms of institutions, publication output was concentrated at universities such as the University of Michigan, Griffith University, and Syracuse University. The United States was central in terms of regional distribution. Thematic and co-occurrence networks showed that the concept of "mental health" was central. Citation networks indicated a limited number of key studies in the field. Bradford's Law indicated that the literature was concentrated in certain areas. Conclusion: The field of mental health and psychological well-being has developed around certain authors, journals, and institutions. The number of publications has increased, but citation visibility has remained limited. Fundamental concepts related to the field continue to shape its structure.
