Scientometrics, a subfield of bibliometrics, examines scientific publications by using bibliometric methods. The aim of a scientometric study is to study the various citation-based metrics of scientific articles, such as parameters pertaining to authors (including institutions and country of origin), articles, journals, and other citation related metrics.
In this second part of our scientometric analysis of the 6 major neurosurgical journals from 2011-2020, we study journal and author trends, yearly publication trends, and citation related metrics in , , , , , and
We analyzed parameters, including article and journal metrics (total articles published per journal per year, breakdown of the Bradford's law distribution of journals, and Lotka's law, journal impact factors), author metrics (country of origin, collaborations), citation totals, and keyword counts.
The highest number of published articles from all journals occurred in 2011, the lowest in 2016. published the most. The author collaboration index has declined since 2016 with a notable drop in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic began. Impact factors remained stable, except for Operative Neurosurgery, which experienced a steep decline in 2020, and , which experienced a mild decline in 2020. Canadian authors were the most likely to participate in multi-country collaborations.
The most articles were published in , followed by , , and .
科学计量学是文献计量学的一个子领域,它通过文献计量方法来研究科学出版物。科学计量学研究的目的是研究科学文章的各种基于引用的指标,例如与作者(包括机构和原籍国)、文章、期刊以及其他与引用相关的指标有关的参数。
在我们对2011年至2020年6种主要神经外科期刊进行的科学计量分析的第二部分中,我们研究了《[期刊名称1]》《[期刊名称2]》《[期刊名称3]》《[期刊名称4]》《[期刊名称5]》和《[期刊名称6]》中的期刊和作者趋势、年度出版趋势以及与引用相关的指标。
我们分析了各种参数,包括文章和期刊指标(每种期刊每年发表的文章总数、期刊的布拉德福德定律分布细目和洛特卡定律、期刊影响因子)、作者指标(原籍国、合作情况)、引用总数和关键词数量。
所有期刊发表文章数量最多的年份是2011年,最少的是2016年。《[期刊名称1]》发表的文章最多。自2016年以来作者合作指数有所下降,在2020年新冠疫情开始时出现了显著下降。影响因子保持稳定,除了《手术神经外科学》在2020年经历了大幅下降,以及《[期刊名称3]》在2020年经历了轻微下降。加拿大作者最有可能参与多国合作。
发表文章最多的是《[期刊名称1]》,其次是《[期刊名称2]》《[期刊名称3]》和《[期刊名称4]》。
