The aim of this work is to perform a bibliometric analysis on Middle Eastern oral and maxillofacial surgery through years and to compare the data with previous studies. A list of the top 100 most cited articles was generated.
A Pubmed bibliographic search for literature journals specialized in oral and maxillofacial surgery in the Middle East was performed. A graphic representation of authorship and keywords was created with VOSviewer. Mendeley and Microsoft Excel were used for tabulation and data visualization. A list of the top 100 most cited articles was created using Web of Science. Some statistical tests were performed with a 95% confidence interval, which was considered significant.
A total of 6,536 articles were retrieved in fifteen selected oral and maxillofacial journals. A moderate correlation between number of publications and total population (R = 0.6052), low correlation with area (R = 0.302291), and a negligible correlation with the Human Development Index (HDI) were found (R = 0.1747). A disparity can be seen in the number of publications by country, leaded by Turkey (46.30%), Israel and Iran (13.68% each). The more common studied topic was oral surgery (25.77%), maxillofacial trauma (16.13%) and oral pathology (10.25%).
A useful list of the top 100 most cited articles on oral and maxillofacial surgery from Middle East has been created. Middle East publications on oral and maxillofacial surgery can be considered high quality (IF = 1.879). Some issues on performing an adequate selecting of MeSH keywords were discussed.
本研究旨在对中东口腔颌面外科文献进行计量分析，并与既往研究进行比较。我们生成了一份被引频次最高的前 100 篇文章列表。
我们对中东口腔颌面外科专业文献期刊进行了 Pubmed 书目检索。使用 VOSviewer 创建了作者和关键词的图形表示。Mendeley 和 Microsoft Excel 用于制表和数据可视化。使用 Web of Science 创建了一份被引频次最高的前 100 篇文章列表。使用 95%置信区间进行了一些统计检验，认为具有统计学意义。
在 15 种选定的口腔颌面外科期刊中，共检索到 6536 篇文章。出版物数量与总人口（R=0.6052）呈中度相关，与面积（R=0.302291）呈低度相关，与人类发展指数（HDI）（R=0.1747）呈微弱相关。各国发表的文章数量存在差异，土耳其（46.30%）、以色列和伊朗（13.68%）居前两位。研究最多的口腔颌面外科领域为口腔外科（25.77%）、颌面创伤（16.13%）和口腔病理学（10.25%）。
我们创建了一份被引频次最高的中东口腔颌面外科文献前 100 篇列表。可以认为中东地区的口腔颌面外科文献质量较高（IF=1.879）。讨论了在适当选择 MeSH 关键词方面存在的一些问题。
