Basic science research (BSR) publications in general surgical (GS) journals are an important "translational bridge" for practicing surgeons and surgical trainees. The purpose of this study is to characterize the BSR publications in GS journals and to analyze their citation frequencies.
In 1996, all (224) BSR publications in the five highest rated U.S. GS journals (by impact factor) were reviewed, characterized, and their citation frequencies were compared to BSR publications in non-GS journals.
On average, a BSR publication from these journals is cited 32 times (range 1-141, median 11). Half of the publications were cited more than 10 times in 6 years and 22% were cited twice, or more, within 1 year of publication. One in four publications were cited twice or more in journals with an impact factor greater than five. Citation frequencies of BSR publications in GS journals were related to the journal impact factor (P = 0.07), and to having a basic scientist (i.e., Ph.D.) as one of the authors (P < 0.01). Citation characteristics of BSR publications in GS journals were similar to those of BSR publications in non-GS journals with similar impact factors.
We found that BSR publications in the U.S. GS journals studied had significant citation frequencies.
普通外科(GS)期刊上的基础科学研究(BSR)出版物是执业外科医生和外科实习生的重要“转化桥梁”。本研究的目的是描述GS期刊上的BSR出版物的特征,并分析其被引频次。
1996年,对美国五本评分最高的GS期刊(按影响因子)上的所有(224篇)BSR出版物进行了综述、特征描述,并将其被引频次与非GS期刊上的BSR出版物进行了比较。
这些期刊上的一篇BSR出版物平均被引32次(范围1 - 141次,中位数11次)。一半的出版物在6年内被引超过10次,22%在发表后1年内被引两次或更多次。四分之一的出版物在影响因子大于5的期刊上被引两次或更多次。GS期刊上BSR出版物的被引频次与期刊影响因子相关(P = 0.07),并且与有一位基础科学家(即博士)作为作者之一相关(P < 0.01)。GS期刊上BSR出版物的被引特征与具有相似影响因子的非GS期刊上的BSR出版物相似。
我们发现,在所研究的美国GS期刊上的BSR出版物有显著的被引频次。
