It is widely known that in Orthopaedics, as in each specialty, the academic influence of an article is also determined by the number of times the article is cited. The aim of this study was to identify the 50 most frequently cited Italian orthopaedics journal articles and to analyse the characteristics that might have made them more citable.
Science Citation Index Expanded was searched for the 50 most frequently cited Italian orthopaedics journal articles between 1988 and 2013 in the subject category "Orthopaedics".
The 50 most frequently cited articles were all published in English and were published in 12 of the 67 journals in the subject category "Orthopaedics" in the Institute for Scientific Information Web Science (Thomson Reuters, New York, New York, USA). One half of the articles were published before 2000 and the other half later. The number of citations ranged from 423 of the first article (mean citation/years 21.15) to 83 of the fiftieth (mean citation/years 16.60). The articles were all categorized under orthopaedic field, but each of them spanned from orthopaedics to a specific sub-specialty. The majority was clinical articles (n = 39), and the most common fields were sport orthopaedic surgery (including arthroscopy and cartilage) (n = 19) and biomechanics (n = 12).
This list of 50 most frequently cited Italian articles is, to our knowledge, significantly important for the general orthopaedic scientific community, particularly for the Italian orthopaedic community. Researchers and doctors may use this work to make their future publications more influential and citable.
众所周知，在骨科领域，与其他专业一样，一篇文章的学术影响力也由其被引用的次数决定。本研究的目的是找出被引用次数最多的50篇意大利骨科期刊文章，并分析可能使其更具被引用性的特征。
在科学引文索引扩展版中搜索1988年至2013年间在“骨科”主题类别中被引用次数最多的50篇意大利骨科期刊文章。
50篇被引用次数最多的文章均以英文发表，发表于科学信息研究所网络科学（美国纽约汤森路透社）“骨科”主题类别的67种期刊中的12种。其中一半文章发表于2000年之前，另一半发表于之后。被引用次数从第一篇文章的423次（平均每年被引用21.15次）到第五十篇文章的83次（平均每年被引用16.60次）不等。这些文章均归类于骨科领域，但每篇文章都从骨科延伸到了一个特定的亚专业。大多数文章是临床文章（n = 39），最常见的领域是运动骨科手术（包括关节镜检查和软骨）（n = 19）和生物力学（n = 12）。
据我们所知，这份50篇被引用次数最多的意大利文章列表对普通骨科科学界，尤其是意大利骨科界具有重要意义。研究人员和医生可以利用这项工作使他们未来的出版物更具影响力和被引用性。
