Zusammenfassung
Ökonomische Umstrukturierungen nehmen in Deutschland einen immer größeren Stellenwert ein und ziehen strukturelle Veränderungen für das gesamte soziale und medizinische Versorgungssystem und die Schichtarbeit nach sich. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist eine szientometrische Analyse des Forschungsaufkommens zum Thema Schicht- und Nachtarbeit. Insgesamt konnten 3092 Treffer identifiziert werden. Die Anzahl der Publikationen befand sich seit 1977 in ständigem Wachstum, wobei eine deutliche Zunahme nach 1990 zu verzeichnen war. Mit 884 Veröffentlichungen war den USA etwa ein Drittel des Forschungsaufkommens zuzuordnen. Neben den Vereinigten Staaten publizierten das Vereinigte Königreich Großbritannien 365 und Frankreich 244 Arbeiten zum Thema Schicht- und Nachtarbeit. Die meistpublizierenden Zeitschriften waren Sleep, Ergonomics und Chronobiology International. Der schwedische Wissenschaftler Torbjörn Akerstedt ist als derzeit renommiertester Forscher anzusehen. Er war mit 105 themenbezogenen Arbeiten nicht nur der publikationsstärkste, sondern wies mit 30 auch den höchsten Hirsch-Index auf. Selbstzitierungen und Co-Autorenschaften beeinflussen Parameter wie Impact Faktor und Hirsch-Index massiv und sollten deshalb kritisch hinterfragt werden.

Summary
Economic restructuring processes in Germany require changes within all social and health care systems regarding night shiftwork. The aim of this paper was to analyse research results referring to shift- and nightwork using scientometric methods. A total of 3092 items could be detected. A constant increase in the number of publications per year since 1977, especially since 1990' was obvious. One third of the research results, a total of 884 articles could be assigned to the USA. Great Britain could be identified with 365 articles and France with 244 published articles. Sleep, Ergonomics and Chronobiology International are the most prolific journals. The Swedish scientist Torbjörn Akerstedt is to this date the most acclaimed researcher referring to his issue. He has written 105 articles about shift- and nightwork. He is not only a most efficient author, but also has the highest h-index [30]. Self-citations and multiple co-authorships distort parameters like impact factor and h-index enormously and should be regarded from a critical point of view.
