To identify factors that are predictive of short-term professional and societal impact of research within the specialty of Endodontology and to identify the top-10 articles that achieved the greatest societal impact and describe their characteristics.
Research articles in the field of Endodontology published in 2019 were eligible for inclusion, with the sample identified using Medline. Following screening of titles and abstracts, bibliometric data of the identified articles were exported into a spreadsheet, where further data related to continental origin, type of article, type of journal (endodontic or non-endodontic) and grant-funding were collated, with additional data concerning presence of journal impact factor, citations, news mentions and Altmetric-tracked-mentions and scores compiled using Clarivate, Scopus, ProQuest and Altmetric Explorer, respectively. Data analysis comprised descriptive statistics, frequency distributions, cross-tabulations and un/adjusted negative binomial regression models (p < .05).
The search retrieved 30 443 articles; 951 were included for analysis. Most articles originated from Asia (43.2%) with over 51.5% of articles published in endodontic journals and 80% published in a journal with an impact factor. Over three-quarters of articles were primary research, 141 were grant-funded, 165 had a news mention, 338 achieved an Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) and 808 were cited. The five-highest ranked articles were mentioned in general news bulletins, five of the top-10 articles were primary research and six of the top-10 were published in endodontic journals. The highest AAS and citation count were 100 and 87, respectively. Adjusted models demonstrated that the type of article, publication in a journal with an impact factor, absence of grant-funding and coverage within general news bulletins predicted the AAS 's (p < .001). Article type, publication in an impact-factor journal and presence of an AAS were predictive of citations (p < .001).
Article type and publication in a journal with an impact factor were significant predictors of both societal and professional impact of research articles within Endodontology in the short-term. Non grant-funded research and coverage in general news bulletins achieved greater societal impact, whereas an article achieving an AAS was also strongly related to professional impact.
确定牙髓病学专业研究的短期专业和社会影响力的预测因素，并确定社会影响力最大的前 10 篇文章，并描述其特征。
本研究纳入了 2019 年发表的牙髓病学领域的研究文章，使用 Medline 进行样本识别。在筛选标题和摘要后，将确定的文章的文献计量数据导出到电子表格中，进一步整理有关大陆来源、文章类型、期刊类型（牙髓或非牙髓）和资助的信息，并使用 Clarivate、Scopus、ProQuest 和 Altmetric Explorer 分别收集有关期刊影响因子、引文、新闻报道和 Altmetric 跟踪提及和分数的额外数据。数据分析包括描述性统计、频率分布、交叉表和未调整/调整后的负二项式回归模型（p<.05）。
搜索共检索到 30443 篇文章，其中 951 篇纳入分析。大多数文章来自亚洲（43.2%），超过 51.5%的文章发表在牙髓期刊上，80%的文章发表在有影响因子的期刊上。超过四分之三的文章为原始研究，141 篇获得资助，165 篇有新闻报道，338 篇获得 Altmetric 关注得分（AAS），808 篇被引用。排名前五的文章在综合新闻简报中被提及，前 10 名中有 5 篇为原始研究，前 10 名中有 6 篇发表在牙髓期刊上。最高的 AAS 和引文数分别为 100 和 87。调整模型表明，文章类型、在有影响因子的期刊上发表、无资助和综合新闻报道是 AAS 的预测因素（p<.001）。文章类型、在有影响因子的期刊上发表和 AAS 的存在是引文的预测因素（p<.001）。
在短期内，文章类型和在有影响因子的期刊上发表是牙髓病学研究的社会和专业影响力的重要预测因素。非资助研究和综合新闻报道获得了更大的社会影响力，而获得 AAS 的文章也与专业影响力密切相关。
