To identify the top 100 most-cited case reports and case series published in Endodontic journals and to analyse their bibliometric characteristics.
The Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and PubMed databases were used to identify the top 100 most-cited case reports and case series in Endodontic journals. Complete bibliographic records of the selected case reports and case series were exported in plain text or BibTeX format and imported into the R environment for statistical computing and graphics. The following parameters were then analysed: names and affiliations of the authors, title, year of publication, journal of publication, first author, corresponding author, literature cited within reports, language, citation counts, impact factor of the journal, keywords, Keywords Plus and research topic.
In total, 88 case reports and 12 case series published in English between 1977 and 2016 were identified as the most-cited reports in the field of Endodontics. The terms "case report(s)" or "case series" were not included in the title of 57 articles. The number of authors per report ranged from one to seven, with the average number of co-authors per report being 3.14. The most-cited author was M Trope (University of Pennsylvania, USA). The University of Washington and Private Practice, Cetraro, Italy, were the most productive institutions. The country whose case reports received the largest total number of citations was the United States. The largest number of the most-cited reports appeared in 2002, 2004 and 2007 (n = 7, respectively). According to the WoS database, the total number of citations ranged from 42 to 453, with the average number of citations per report being 79.97. The majority of the top 100 most-cited articles were published in the Journal of Endodontics and the International Endodontic Journal. The most frequently used author keywords were revascularization and mineral trioxide aggregate. The majority of the case reports and case series dealt with topics related to pulp regeneration.
This bibliometric study provides a comprehensive overview on the progress, trends and current directions in clinical practice within the field of Endodontics.
确定发表在牙髓学杂志上被引用次数最多的前 100 篇个案报告和病例系列，并分析其文献计量学特征。
使用科睿唯安的 Web of Science（WoS）、Scopus 和 PubMed 数据库，确定发表在牙髓学杂志上被引用次数最多的前 100 篇个案报告和病例系列。选择的个案报告和病例系列的完整书目记录以纯文本或 BibTeX 格式导出，并导入到 R 环境中进行统计计算和图形绘制。然后分析以下参数：作者姓名和所属机构、标题、发表年份、杂志名称、第一作者、通讯作者、报告中引用的文献、语言、引用次数、杂志影响因子、关键词、关键词 Plus 和研究主题。
共确定了 88 篇发表于 1977 年至 2016 年间的英文个案报告和 12 篇病例系列，这些报告是牙髓学领域最具引用价值的报告。57 篇文章的标题中没有包含“个案报告”或“病例系列”。每篇报告的作者人数从 1 人到 7 人不等，每篇报告的平均合著者人数为 3.14 人。最具引用价值的作者是美国宾夕法尼亚大学的 M Trope。华盛顿大学和意大利切塔尔罗的私人执业是最具生产力的机构。美国的个案报告获得的总引用次数最多。发表数量最多的年份分别是 2002 年、2004 年和 2007 年（分别为 n=7）。根据 WoS 数据库，引用次数从 42 次到 453 次不等，每篇报告的平均引用次数为 79.97 次。前 100 篇最具引用价值的文章中，有很大一部分发表在《牙髓学杂志》和《国际牙髓学杂志》上。使用最多的作者关键词是血管再生和三氧化矿物聚合体。大多数个案报告和病例系列涉及与牙髓再生相关的主题。
本研究通过文献计量学方法对牙髓学领域的进展、趋势和临床实践现状进行了全面概述。
