In this bibliometric study, we aimed to conduct multi-dimensional citation analysis of the top 100 cited articles in traumatology.
We analyzed the top 100 cited articles among 56.980 trauma articles published between 1975 and 2017, which we obtained from databases in Web of Science and PubMed based on their citation rates and publication years, countries of origin, institutions or organizations, the most common subjects, funding status, article types, and levels of evidence.
In the top 100 cited articles, the number of total authors was 649 and average authorship was 6.49±5.46 (1-32); group author or study group number was eight, and the number of total collaborators was 1241. USA was the top country in terms of country of origin and institutions or organizations and also the number of proceedings papers in scientific activities. We found that 70 of the top 100 cited articles were supported by funding agencies in developed countries. In the present study, the three most common subjects were central nervous system trauma (21 articles), major trauma-hemorrhage-bleeding control-transfusion-early coagulopathy (18 articles), and trauma care and systems (eight articles), respectively. The average level of evidence of the top 100 cited articles was 2.45±1.05 (range: 1-4). We also found that 66 of the 100 most frequently cited articles in traumatology were published in scientific journals that had an impact factor of ≥2.6 (range: 2.648-72.406). We found that the most commonly preferred article type by authors is clinical research (92 articles) and sub-type is prospective comparative studies (27 articles). Evidence groups of classical papers in traumatology were B (54 articles), A (26 articles), and C (20 articles), respectively.
Despite some flaws in determining the scientific values of articles, citation analysis of classical papers in traumatology can provide important scientific contributions.
在这项文献计量学研究中，我们旨在对创伤学领域被引用次数排名前100的文章进行多维度引文分析。
我们分析了1975年至2017年间发表在56980篇创伤学文章中的前100篇被引用文章，这些文章是我们从科学网和PubMed数据库中根据其引用率、发表年份、原产国、机构或组织、最常见主题、资金状况、文章类型和证据水平获取的。
在前100篇被引用文章中，作者总数为649人，平均作者人数为6.49±5.46（1 - 32人）；团体作者或研究小组数量为8个，合作作者总数为1241人。就原产国、机构或组织以及科学活动中的会议论文数量而言，美国位居榜首。我们发现，前100篇被引用文章中有70篇得到了发达国家资助机构的支持。在本研究中，三个最常见的主题分别是中枢神经系统创伤（21篇文章）、重大创伤 - 出血 - 出血控制 - 输血 - 早期凝血病（18篇文章）和创伤护理与系统（8篇文章）。前100篇被引用文章的平均证据水平为2.45±1.05（范围：1 - 4）。我们还发现，创伤学领域100篇最常被引用的文章中有66篇发表在影响因子≥2.6（范围：2.648 - 72.406）的科学期刊上。我们发现作者最常选用的文章类型是临床研究（92篇文章），子类型是前瞻性比较研究（27篇文章）。创伤学经典论文的证据分组分别为B组（54篇文章）、A组（26篇文章）和C组（20篇文章）。
尽管在确定文章科学价值方面存在一些缺陷，但创伤学经典论文的引文分析仍可提供重要的科学贡献。
