Which journals cite work published in anaesthetic journals is of potential interest to authors, editors and publishers. We analysed citations made in 2017-2018 for articles, reviews, editorials and letters published by 12 anaesthetic journals in 2016, using the Web of Science™ citation index platform. We analysed 12,544 citations made for 3518 items. Citations were most often made by specialist anaesthesia journals and critical care journals, and occurred most commonly in articles, followed by reviews, editorials and letters. The median (IQR [range]) number of citations made per item was 3.3 (2.6-4.1 [1.6-5.1]). The median (IQR [range]) number of journals that cited the 12 source journals was 302 (236-449 [139-671]). The median (IQR [range]) proportion of citations made by the same journal that published the items (i.e. 'self-citations') was 15% (11-17% [5-32%]). There were 1305/1932 (68%) citations made by North American journals for items published in North American journals and 1712/2063 (83%) citations made by European journals for items published in European journals, p < 0.0001. Our analysis may inform authors, editors and publishers where to submit work, what editorial policy to pursue and what journal strategy to follow, respectively.
哪些期刊引用了麻醉学期刊发表的文章，这对作者、编辑和出版商来说是很有参考价值的。我们使用 Web of Science™引文索引平台，分析了 2016 年 12 种麻醉学期刊发表的文章、综述、社论和信件在 2017-2018 年的引用情况。我们分析了 3518 项内容中的 12544 条引文。引文主要来自专业麻醉学期刊和危重病学期刊，最常见于文章中，其次是综述、社论和信件。每项内容的平均（IQR [范围]）引用次数为 3.3（2.6-4.1 [1.6-5.1]）。引用 12 种来源期刊的期刊中位数（IQR [范围]）为 302（236-449 [139-671]）。同一期刊引用自身出版的项目（即“自引”）的中位数（IQR [范围]）比例为 15%（11-17% [5-32%]）。在发表于北美的项目中，有 1305/1932（68%）的引文来自北美期刊，在发表于欧洲的项目中，有 1712/2063（83%）的引文来自欧洲期刊，p 值均<0.0001。我们的分析可以为作者、编辑和出版商提供信息，分别告知他们应将作品投往何处、应采用何种编辑政策以及应遵循何种期刊策略。
