The most-cited papers help to better understand important characteristics of this specific science field.
To analyse the 100 most-cited papers in the field of Paediatric Dentistry.
A search of the most-cited papers in Paediatric Dentistry journals was performed using journals included in the category of 'Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine' in the Thompson Reuters Web of Science citation indexing database up to December 2018. Two researchers performed the data extraction, which included: number of citations, title, authors, country, year, journals, study design, and thematic area.
The number of citations of each paper included in the top 100 most-cited ranged from 42 to 182 (mean: 64.51). Seven papers were cited more than 100 times. Most of the papers were published in the International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry (36%), between 2006 and 2015 (55%), with a cross-sectional design (39%). Twenty-six authors participated in two or more papers. The countries with the highest number of most-cited papers were the United States (25%), Australia (11%), and Brazil (9%). Cariology was the most studied thematic area.
The evaluation of the top 100 most-cited papers in Paediatric Dentistry journals allowed for a better understanding of the world scenario regarding this research field.
最常被引的论文有助于更好地理解特定科学领域的重要特征。
分析儿童牙科领域的 100 篇最常被引论文。
在 2018 年 12 月之前，使用汤森路透科学引文索引数据库中“牙科、口腔外科和医学”类别中收录的期刊，对儿童牙科期刊中最常被引的论文进行了搜索。两名研究人员进行了数据提取，其中包括：引用次数、标题、作者、国家、年份、期刊、研究设计和主题领域。
前 100 篇最常被引论文中的每篇论文的引用次数从 42 次到 182 次不等（平均值：64.51）。有 7 篇论文被引用超过 100 次。大多数论文发表在《国际儿童牙科杂志》（36%），2006 年至 2015 年（55%），采用横断面设计（39%）。有 26 位作者参与了两篇或更多论文的撰写。最常被引论文数量最多的国家是美国（25%）、澳大利亚（11%）和巴西（9%）。龋病学是研究最多的主题领域。
对儿童牙科期刊中最常被引的前 100 篇论文的评估，有助于更好地了解该研究领域的世界概况。
