Although citation analysis represents an increasingly common method for examining the performance of scientific journals, few longitudinal studies have been conducted in the specialist fields of dermatology.
The objective of this study was to provide the first comprehensive bibliometric analysis of Contact Dermatitis for the 30-year period between 1977 and 2006.
Detailed historical data were extracted from the Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports and systematically analysed. The most highly cited articles published in the journal were also identified and then examined for citation frequency and lag time.
Citation analysis showed that the impact factor of Contact Dermatitis has increased significantly over the past 30 years, experiencing a sixfold improvement between 1977 and 2006.
Bibliometric trends as identified in the current study clearly demonstrate the ongoing rise of Contact Dermatitis, from early beginnings in the mid-1970s, into the leading scientific periodical we know today.
尽管引文分析是一种越来越常见的方法，用于评估科学期刊的表现，但在皮肤科等专业领域，很少有进行纵向研究。
本研究的目的是对 1977 年至 2006 年这 30 年间的《接触性皮炎》进行首次全面的文献计量分析。
从汤森路透期刊引文报告中提取详细的历史数据，并进行系统分析。还确定了该期刊发表的被引用最多的文章，并对其引用频率和滞后时间进行了研究。
引文分析表明，《接触性皮炎》的影响因子在过去 30 年中显著增加，1977 年至 2006 年间增长了六倍。
当前研究中确定的文献计量趋势清楚地表明，《接触性皮炎》从 20 世纪 70 年代中期的早期开始，已经发展成为我们今天所知道的领先的科学期刊。
