As skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., many publications focus on cutaneous malignancies. The objective was to identify and analyze the 100 most-cited articles pertaining to skin cancers to provide clarity on past, and insight for future research.
Using a two-stage search of Thomson Reuters Web of Science database, the 100 most-cited skin cancer articles between 1945 and 2018 were identified and analyzed.
The articles were cited an average total of 558.49 times (range: 259 to 3429). There were relatively few significant publications until 1988. Linear correlation revealed that journal impact factor was not correlated with average number of citations per year per article (R2=0.06). Molecular pathogenesis and UV exposure were the most common topics. The topics that received the highest average citations per year per article were prevention (50.44 citations per year), diagnosis (47.32 citations per year), and management (41.37 citations per year). Basic science articles accounted for the most publications, followed by narrative literature reviews.
These results may indicate that future publications with similar characteristics are more likely to be cited and thus, more influential.
由于皮肤癌是美国最常见的癌症，因此许多出版物都集中在皮肤恶性肿瘤上。目的是确定和分析 100 篇最常被引用的皮肤癌文章，以了解过去的研究情况，并为未来的研究提供参考。
通过对汤森路透科学网数据库进行两阶段搜索，确定并分析了 1945 年至 2018 年间被引用次数最多的 100 篇皮肤癌文章。
这些文章的平均引用次数为 558.49 次（范围：259 到 3429）。直到 1988 年，才有相对较少的重要出版物。线性相关显示，期刊影响因子与文章每年的平均引用次数之间没有相关性（R2=0.06）。分子发病机制和紫外线暴露是最常见的主题。每年平均引用次数最高的主题是预防（每年 50.44 次引用）、诊断（每年 47.32 次引用）和治疗（每年 41.37 次引用）。基础科学文章的出版物最多，其次是叙述性文献综述。
这些结果可能表明，具有类似特征的未来出版物更有可能被引用，因此更具影响力。
