The aim of this study was an analysis of the changing publication trends over the last three decades in the Journal of Pediatric Surgery (JPS), Pediatric Surgery International (PSI) and European Journal of Pediatric Surgery (EJPS) by studying the bibliometric variables, authorship, collaboration, and citation trends. A previously applied methodology using intermittent years was applied to review the archives of JPS, PSI and EJPS over the last 30 years. Citation data were collected from the Web of Science database. Statistical analysis was performed using SAS 9.4 software. A total of 1917 articles originating from 63 countries met the inclusion criteria. The number of articles published every year increased significantly in the last three decades from 336 in 1987 to 626 in 2017 (P < 0.0001). Multinational papers made up 5% of the total, of which 58% involved more than one continent. A majority of papers (75%) were single institution papers, there was strong evidence of an increase in multi-institution publications over time. There was a statistically significant increase in the number of female first and corresponding author. The publishing landscape of paediatric surgery has evolved to be more inclusive with increased collaboration, female authors and mentors and more publications from developing nations.
本研究旨在通过研究文献计量学变量、作者身份、合作情况和引用趋势，分析《小儿外科杂志》（JPS）、《国际小儿外科杂志》（PSI）和《欧洲小儿外科杂志》（EJPS）在过去三十年中不断变化的出版趋势。采用一种先前应用的使用间隔年份的方法，对JPS、PSI和EJPS过去30年的存档进行回顾。引用数据从科学网数据库收集。使用SAS 9.4软件进行统计分析。共有来自63个国家的1917篇文章符合纳入标准。在过去三十年中，每年发表的文章数量从1987年的336篇显著增加到2017年的626篇（P＜0.0001）。跨国论文占总数的5%，其中58%涉及不止一个大洲。大多数论文（75%）为单机构论文，有强有力的证据表明随着时间推移多机构出版物有所增加。女性第一作者和通讯作者的数量有统计学意义的增加。小儿外科的出版格局已演变得更具包容性，合作增加、女性作者和导师增多，以及来自发展中国家的出版物增多。
