Analysis of the most influential publications within paracetamol poisoning treatment can be helpful in recognizing main and novel treatment issues within the field of toxicology. The current study was performed to recognize and describe the most highly cited articles related to paracetamol poisoning treatment.
The 100 most highly cited articles in paracetamol poisoning treatment were identified from the Scopus database in November 2015. All eligible articles were read for basic information, including total number of citations, average citations per year, authors' names, journal name, impact factors, document types and countries of authors of publications.
The median number of citations was 75 (interquartile range 56-137). These publications were published between 1974 and 2013. The average number of years since publication was 17.6 years, and 45 of the publications were from the 2000s. A significant, modest positive correlation was found between years since publication and the number of citations among the top 100 cited articles (r = 0.316; p = 0.001). A total of 55 journals published these 100 most cited articles. Nine documents were published in Clinical Toxicology, whereas eight documents were published in Annals of Emergency Medicine. Citations per year since publication for the top 100 most-cited articles ranged from 1.5 to 42.6 and had a mean of 8.5 citations per year and a median of 5.9 with an interquartile range of 3.75-10.35. In relation to the origin of the research publications, they were from 8 countries. The USA had the largest number of articles, 47, followed by the UK and Australia with 38 and nine articles respectively.
This study is the first bibliometric assessment of the top 100 cited articles in toxicology literature. Interest in paracetamol poisoning as a serious clinical problem continues to grow. Research published in high-impact journals and from high income countries is most likely to be cited in published paracetamol research.
对扑热息痛中毒治疗领域最具影响力的出版物进行分析,有助于识别毒理学领域的主要和新出现的治疗问题。本研究旨在识别和描述与扑热息痛中毒治疗相关的被引用次数最多的文章。
2015年11月从Scopus数据库中识别出扑热息痛中毒治疗领域被引用次数最多的100篇文章。阅读所有符合条件的文章以获取基本信息,包括总引用次数、每年平均引用次数、作者姓名、期刊名称、影响因子、文献类型以及出版物作者所在国家。
引用次数的中位数为75(四分位间距为56 - 137)。这些出版物发表于1974年至2013年之间。自发表以来的平均年数为17.6年,其中45篇出版物来自21世纪。在前100篇被引用文章中,发现自发表年份与引用次数之间存在显著的、适度的正相关(r = 0.316;p = 0.001)。共有55种期刊发表了这100篇被引用次数最多的文章。9篇文献发表于《临床毒理学》,而8篇文献发表于《急诊医学年鉴》。前100篇被引用次数最多的文章自发表以来每年的引用次数范围为1.5至42.6,平均每年引用8.5次,中位数为5.9次,四分位间距为3.75 - 10.35。关于研究出版物的来源,它们来自8个国家。美国的文章数量最多,为47篇,其次是英国和澳大利亚,分别有38篇和9篇文章。
本研究是毒理学文献中前100篇被引用文章的首次文献计量学评估。作为一个严重的临床问题,对扑热息痛中毒的关注持续增加。发表在高影响力期刊以及来自高收入国家的研究在已发表的扑热息痛研究中最有可能被引用。
