The present study aims to identify and analyze the characteristics of highly cited publications on Multiple sclerosis in the Science Citation Index Expanded.
Documents that had 100 citations or more were considered as the highly cited documents. Highly cited publications were analyzed in the distribution of document types, languages, publication years, Web of Science categories, and journals as well as publication performance of countries, institutions, and authors. The six and five publication indicators were applied to compare publications of the countries and the institutes respectively. Highly cited authors were analyzed by Y-index.
In general, articles spent about 12 years to be highly cited articles. The USA dominated the production by the six publication indicators. Harvard University was the most active in research on multiple sclerosis while the University of California, Los Angeles in the USA shows the most independent research. M. Filippi was recognized as the most productive author who had the most articles as the corresponding author.
The findings may be of interest to multiple sclerosis researchers and policymakers all around the world.
本研究旨在识别和分析科学引文索引扩展版中多发性硬化症高被引文献的特征。
将被引次数达到 100 次或以上的文献视为高被引文献。对高被引文献在文献类型、语言、出版年份、Web of Science 类别、期刊以及国家、机构和作者的出版表现等方面进行了分析。分别采用 6 项和 5 项出版物指标对各国和各机构的出版物进行比较。高被引作者通过 Y 指数进行分析。
总体而言,文章大约需要 12 年才能成为高被引文章。美国在 6 项出版物指标的产出方面占据主导地位。哈佛大学在多发性硬化症研究方面最为活跃,而美国加州大学洛杉矶分校在独立研究方面表现最为突出。M. Filippi 被认为是最具生产力的作者,他作为通讯作者发表的文章最多。
这些发现可能会引起全世界多发性硬化症研究人员和政策制定者的兴趣。
