To evaluate and analyze the social impact of orthodontic articles published by Chinese authors in international journals during the past five years, using an altmetric tool; and to explore the practical value of altmetrics measures in the evaluation of dental research. PubMed was searched via the Altmetric Explorer platform to identify orthodontic research articles that were published during 2012-2016, with at least one affiliation from China. Commentaries, news reports and editorials were excluded. By reading titles and abstracts, two authors carried out inclusion and exclusion of literature independently to exclude articles that are not related to orthodontics and retracted articles. Data extraction was performed simultaneously. Any disagreement was resolved by discussion. Linear regressions were used to analyze the association between Altmetric attention score (AAS) and potentially related factors. Among 864 articles identified from PubMed, a total of 206 received an AAS, and 160 articles were included for analyzing. The mean AAS of orthodontic research articles from China was 2.7 (95% confidence interval: 2.0 to 3.4). had the most scored articles (24) and the highest total AAS (67.0), while had the highest mean AAS (3.8). All the top-3 articles were published in . Significant positive associations were found among high impact factors (0.05), high level of evidence (0.001) and the AAS. Publishing more high-impact articles and high level of evidence articles improved the international social impact of orthodontic research from China. As a valuable supplement to citation counts, Altmetric measures had practical values in dental research area.
使用替代计量工具评估和分析中国作者在过去五年发表于国际期刊的正畸学文章的社会影响；并探讨替代计量指标在牙科研究评估中的实用价值。通过Altmetric Explorer平台检索PubMed，以识别2012年至2016年发表的、至少有一个来自中国机构的正畸学研究文章。评论、新闻报道和社论被排除。通过阅读标题和摘要，两位作者独立进行文献的纳入和排除，以排除与正畸学无关的文章和撤稿文章。同时进行数据提取。任何分歧通过讨论解决。使用线性回归分析替代计量关注度得分（AAS）与潜在相关因素之间的关联。在从PubMed中识别出的864篇文章中，共有206篇获得了AAS，160篇文章被纳入分析。来自中国的正畸学研究文章的平均AAS为2.7（95%置信区间：2.0至3.4）。 拥有得分最高的文章（24篇）和最高的总AAS（67.0），而 拥有最高的平均AAS（3.8）。所有排名前三的文章均发表于 。在高影响因子（0.05）、高证据水平（0.001）和AAS之间发现了显著的正相关。发表更多高影响因子文章和高证据水平文章提高了中国正畸学研究的国际社会影响力。作为引用次数的有价值补充，替代计量指标在牙科研究领域具有实用价值。
