BACKGROUND
Bibliometric studies are increasingly being used for research assessments. Bibliometric indicators involve the application of statistical methods to scientific publications to obtain the bibliographics for each journal. The main objective of this study was to conduct a bibliometric evaluation of Human & Experimental Toxicology retrieved from the Scopus database.
METHODS
This study obtained data from Scopus published from 1 January 2003 till 31 December 2012. The keywords entered in Scopus to accomplish the objective of this study were 'Human', 'Experimental' and 'Toxicology' as 'Source Title'. Research productivity was evaluated based on a methodology developed and used in other bibliometric studies by analysing (a) total and trends in Human & Experimental Toxicology contributions in research between 2003 and 2012; (b) Human & Experimental Toxicology authorship patterns and productivity; (c) collaboration patterns; and (d) the citations received by the publications.
RESULTS
There were 1229 research articles published in Human & Experimental Toxicology. Of the articles included, 947 (77.1%) were original articles and 104 (8.5%) were review articles. The Hirsch-index of the retrieved documents was 35. The largest number of publications in Human & Experimental Toxicology was from the United States (19.6%), followed by India (12.8%) and Turkey (10.9%). The total number of citations was 9119, with a median (interquartile range) of 3 (1-9) in 6797 documents. The highest median (interquartile range) number of citations was 8 (2.7-12.7) for France, followed by 7.5 (2-22.5) for Iran and 6 (3-13.5) for the United Kingdom. The country most often citing articles that were published in Human & Experimental Toxicology was the United States, which made citations in 1508 documents, followed by India with citations in 792 documents.
CONCLUSION
The documents in Human & Experimental Toxicology focus principally on original data, with very few review articles. Review articles tend to have higher citation rates than original articles, and hence, the editors and authors of Human & Experimental Toxicology might usefully promote the submission of reviews in the future to improve the impact of the journal.
背景
文献计量学研究越来越多地用于科研评估。文献计量指标涉及应用统计方法分析科学出版物，以获取每种期刊的文献信息。本研究的主要目的是对从Scopus数据库检索到的《人类与实验毒理学》进行文献计量评估。
方法
本研究获取了2003年1月1日至2012年12月31日期间Scopus上发表的数据。在Scopus中输入的用于实现本研究目标的关键词为“人类”、“实验”和“毒理学”作为“来源标题”。通过分析以下内容，基于其他文献计量学研究中开发和使用的方法对研究生产力进行评估：（a）2003年至2012年期间《人类与实验毒理学》在研究中的贡献总数和趋势；（b）《人类与实验毒理学》的作者模式和生产力；（c）合作模式；以及（d）出版物获得的引用次数。
结果
《人类与实验毒理学》共发表了1229篇研究文章。在所纳入的文章中，947篇（77.1%）为原创文章，104篇（8.5%）为综述文章。检索到的文献的Hirsch指数为35。《人类与实验毒理学》发表文章数量最多的国家是美国（19.6%），其次是印度（12.8%）和土耳其（10.9%）。总引用次数为9119次，6797篇文献的中位数（四分位间距）为3（1 - 9）。引用次数中位数最高的是法国，为8（2.7 - 12.7），其次是伊朗，为7.5（2 - 22.5），英国为6（3 - 13.5）。在《人类与实验毒理学》上发表的文章被引用次数最多的国家是美国，有1508篇文献被引用，其次是印度，有792篇文献被引用。
结论
《人类与实验毒理学》的文献主要集中在原始数据上，综述文章很少。综述文章的引用率往往高于原创文章，因此，《人类与实验毒理学》的编辑和作者未来可能会有益地鼓励提交综述文章，以提高该期刊的影响力。
