To analyze the output of scientific publications in obstetrics and gynecology journals from 3 principal regions of China: mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
Information on article numbers, impact factors, citation reports, and publication in high-impact obstetrics and gynecology journals by Chinese authors between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2009, was extracted from PubMed and WoS databases. Comparisons of quantity and quality were done by Kruskal-Wallis and rank-sum tests.
There were 3044 articles from mainland China (n=1042), Taiwan (n=1304), and Hong Kong (n=698). The cumulative impact factors and citations of articles from Taiwan were highest among the 3 regions. In terms of average impact factor and number of citations per article, Hong Kong exceeded mainland China and Taiwan. Fertility and Sterility, Human Reproduction and Gynecologic Oncology were among the most popular obstetrics and gynecology journals used by authors in the 3 regions.
The annual number of articles published in obstetrics and gynecology journals from the 3 regions of China increased during the past decade, especially for mainland China. However, the quality of articles from mainland China arouses attention because the average citation of articles from Hong Kong and Taiwan was higher than that of articles from the mainland.
分析中国大陆、台湾和香港三个主要地区妇产科期刊的科学出版物产出。
从 PubMed 和 WoS 数据库中提取了 2000 年 1 月 1 日至 2009 年 12 月 31 日期间中国作者发表在高影响力妇产科期刊上的文章数量、影响因子、引文报告和出版物信息。通过 Kruskal-Wallis 和秩和检验进行了数量和质量的比较。
共有来自中国大陆（n=1042）、台湾（n=1304）和香港（n=698）的 3044 篇文章。台湾地区文章的累积影响因子和引文最高。在平均影响因子和每篇文章的引文数方面，香港超过了中国大陆和台湾。《生育与不孕》、《人类生殖》和《妇科肿瘤学》是三个地区作者最常使用的妇产科期刊。
过去十年，来自中国大陆、台湾和香港三个地区的妇产科期刊发表的文章数量逐年增加，尤其是中国大陆。然而，中国大陆文章的平均引文引起了关注，因为香港和台湾文章的平均引文高于中国大陆。
