The goal of this study was to examine neurosurgical scientific publications and change in the trends in major neurosurgical journals during the last 10 years.
The peer-reviewed articles published in 12 prominent neurosurgical journals over the last 10 years were analyzed. The journals were grouped into 2 groups based on the number of articles published in a journal in a year (≥500 or <500).
The total number of peer-reviewed articles published in 10 years in these 12 journals was 48,957. The number of peer-reviewed articles published in a year increased from 3441 to 7316 over this time. The maximum number of peer-reviewed articles were published in 2019 in Group A (n = 7170) and in 2018 in Group B journals (n = 615). The commonest article types were Original Articles and Case Reports in both the groups, but the proportion of Original Articles published was greater in Group A journals (54.0%) as compared with Group B journals (44.5%). Review Articles were more commonly published in Group B journals. The proportion of articles published in Group A and B journals from the United States was 48.0% and 31.7%, respectively, whereas the proportion of articles from Europe was 21.4% and 36.2%, respectively.
Neurosurgical publications are continuously increasing, with a parallel growth in the number of authors and citations all over the world. There are significant differences in the scientometric indices of major neurosurgical journals based on their yearly articles published.
本研究的目的是审查神经外科科学出版物，并观察过去10年主要神经外科期刊的趋势变化。
分析了过去10年在12种著名神经外科期刊上发表的同行评议文章。根据每年在某期刊上发表的文章数量（≥500篇或<500篇）将这些期刊分为两组。
这12种期刊在10年内发表的同行评议文章总数为48957篇。在此期间，每年发表的同行评议文章数量从3441篇增加到7316篇。A组在2019年发表的同行评议文章数量最多（n = 7170），B组期刊在2018年发表的同行评议文章数量最多（n = 615）。两组中最常见的文章类型都是原创文章和病例报告，但A组期刊发表的原创文章比例（54.0%）高于B组期刊（44.5%）。综述文章在B组期刊中发表得更普遍。来自美国的文章在A组和B组期刊中发表的比例分别为48.0%和31.7%，而来自欧洲的文章比例分别为21.4%和36.2%。
神经外科出版物持续增加，全球作者数量和引用次数也随之增长。主要神经外科期刊的科学计量指标因其每年发表的文章数量而存在显著差异。
