This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of the most frequently cited articles published in 3 main journals dedicated to the field of pediatric surgery (Journal of Pediatric Surgery, Pediatric Surgery International and European Journal of Pediatric Surgery).
A search was initiated using the database (1985 - 2006) of the Science Citation Index of the Institute for Scientific Information. The total number of publications and their citation numbers were found and the most cited articles were investigated in detail. A total of 600 (200 from each journal) most cited articles were identified and chosen for further analysis.
The total number of citations in these 3 journals was 20 271. The citations of the most cited articles ranged from 10 to 224. The articles were published between 1985 and 2003 and the mean number of citations/article was 33.78. Articles originated from 39 counties and 256 institutions. The leading countries were the United States (203 articles from 75 institutions), Germany (50 articles from 21 institutions), Japan (34 articles from 17 institutions), Switzerland (34 articles from 8 institutions), United Kingdom (32 articles from 19 institutions), and Canada (28 articles from 7 institutions). Of the institutions with the highest number of cited articles, four institutions were from the USA followed by Switzerland with two institutions. The leading topics were the gastrointestinal system (n = 239), respiratory system (n = 94), urology (n = 61) and oncology (n = 56), and diaphragmatic hernia (n = 41) was the most common special topic. There were 42 case reports (7 %) and 75 experimental research articles (12.5 %). Thirty-four authors from 14 countries and 30 institutions had articles in more than one journal. The most cited author was N. S. Adzick from the USA with 224 citations.
In this study, we found that the Journal of Pediatric Surgery predominated with the greatest number of cited articles. The most cited articles, authors and institutions originated from the USA and English-speaking countries. The gastrointestinal system, respiratory system, urology and oncology were the leading topics and diaphragmatic hernia was the most common special topic.
本研究旨在调查发表于三本小儿外科领域主要期刊(《小儿外科杂志》《国际小儿外科杂志》和《欧洲小儿外科杂志》)中被引用次数最多的文章的特点。
利用科学信息研究所的科学引文索引数据库(1985 - 2006年)展开检索。统计出版物总数及其被引用次数,并对被引用次数最多的文章进行详细调查。共确定并选出600篇(每本期刊200篇)被引用次数最多的文章用于进一步分析。
这三本期刊的总被引用次数为20271次。被引用次数最多的文章的被引用次数在10至224次之间。这些文章发表于1985年至2003年之间,每篇文章的平均被引用次数为33.78次。文章来自39个国家和256个机构。主要国家有美国(来自75个机构的203篇文章)、德国(来自21个机构的50篇文章)、日本(来自17个机构的34篇文章)、瑞士(来自8个机构的34篇文章)、英国(来自19个机构的32篇文章)和加拿大(来自7个机构的28篇文章)。在被引用文章数量最多的机构中,有四个机构来自美国,其次是瑞士,有两个机构。主要主题包括胃肠系统(n = 239)、呼吸系统(n = 94)、泌尿外科(n = 61)和肿瘤学(n = 56),膈疝(n = 41)是最常见的特殊主题。有42篇病例报告(7%)和75篇实验研究文章(12.5%)。来自14个国家和30个机构的34位作者在不止一本期刊上发表过文章。被引用次数最多的作者是来自美国的N. S. Adzick,被引用224次。
在本研究中,我们发现《小儿外科杂志》的被引用文章数量最多。被引用次数最多的文章、作者和机构来自美国及英语国家。胃肠系统、呼吸系统、泌尿外科和肿瘤学是主要主题,膈疝是最常见的特殊主题。
