Bibliometric studies to determine the characteristics of the most cited articles in prosthodontic journals are lacking.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the 100 most cited articles in prosthodontic journals between 1951 and 2019.
The Google Scholar database was used to retrieve the list of journals with titles containing the term "Prosthodontic" or "Prosthetic." Twelve journals were filtered, and of these, only 8 were related to dentistry and hence were included in the study. A search was then performed for each of the selected journals under "Publication Name," and articles were arranged by the category "Times Cited." The 100 most cited articles from the 8 journals were selected and analyzed with regard to journal name, year of publication, authors and their country, type of study, and area of research.
The 100 most cited articles were published between 1958 and 2013, with the numbers of citations ranging between 2368 and 343. The journal with the largest number of the articles cited was the "Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry" with 72 articles, followed by the "International Journal of Prosthodontics" with 25 articles. The decade with most articles published was the 1990s with 33 articles. Many of the authors of most cited articles were from the United States or Sweden. Most articles reported reviews (35 articles), followed by experimental studies (34); the most commonly cited area of research was related to dental implants.
This bibliometric analysis of the 100 most cited articles revealed interesting facts about scientific progress in the field of prosthodontics.
缺乏针对牙科学期刊中最具引用价值文章特征的文献计量学研究。
本研究旨在分析 1951 年至 2019 年间牙科学期刊中 100 篇最具引用价值文章的特征。
使用 Google Scholar 数据库检索标题中包含“Prosthodontic”或“Prosthetic”的期刊列表。过滤掉 12 种期刊后，仅将其中与牙科相关的 8 种期刊纳入研究。然后针对每本选定的期刊在“出版物名称”下进行搜索，并按“被引次数”类别对文章进行排列。从 8 种期刊中选择并分析了 100 篇最具引用价值的文章，包括期刊名称、出版年份、作者及其所在国家、研究类型和研究领域。
这 100 篇最具引用价值的文章发表于 1958 年至 2013 年，被引次数在 2368 至 343 次之间。被引文章数量最多的期刊是《修复牙科学杂志》，有 72 篇文章，其次是《国际口腔修复学杂志》，有 25 篇文章。发表文章最多的十年是 20 世纪 90 年代，有 33 篇文章。大多数最具引用价值文章的作者来自美国或瑞典。最受引用的文章大多为综述（35 篇），其次是实验研究（34 篇）；最常被引用的研究领域与牙种植体有关。
对这 100 篇最具引用价值文章的文献计量学分析揭示了有关牙科学领域科学进步的有趣事实。
