Puberty research has been highly productive in the past few decades and is gaining momentum. We conducted an analysis of bibliographic data, including titles, abstracts, keywords, indexing terms, and citation data to assess the sheer numbers, audience and reach, publication types, and impact of puberty-related publications. Findings suggest that puberty-related publications are increasing in sheer numbers, and have reach in many fields as befits an interdisciplinary science. Puberty-related publications typically have higher impact in terms of citations than the journal averages, among the journals that published the most studies on puberty. Limitations of the field and recommendations for researchers to improve the impact and reach of puberty-related publications (e.g., clear conclusions in abstracts, highlighting the importance of puberty) are discussed.
在过去的几十年里,青春期研究成果丰硕,并且势头正猛。我们对文献数据进行了分析,包括标题、摘要、关键词、索引术语和引文数据,以评估青春期相关出版物的数量、受众和影响力、出版物类型。研究结果表明,青春期相关出版物的数量在不断增加,并且在许多领域都有涉猎,这符合跨学科科学的特点。就引文而言,青春期相关出版物的影响力通常高于期刊平均水平,尤其是在发表青春期相关研究最多的期刊中。讨论了该领域的局限性和研究人员提高青春期相关出版物影响力和受众面的建议(例如,摘要中要包含明确的结论,突出青春期的重要性)。
