Many factors influence an author's choice for journal submission, including journal impact factor and publication speed. These and other bibliometric data points have not been assessed in journals dedicated to neurosurgery.
Eight leading neurosurgery journals were analyzed to identify original articles and reviews, collected via randomized, stratified sampling per published issue per year from 2016 to 2020. Bibliometric data on publication speed were gathered for each article. Journal impact factor, article processing fees, and open access availability were determined using Clarivate Journal Citation Reports. Correlation analysis and a linear regression model were used to estimate the effect of impact factor and publication year on publication speed.
Across the 8 neurosurgery journals, 1617 published articles were reviewed. The mean (standard deviation) time from submission to acceptance (SA) was 131 (101) days, from acceptance to online publication was 77 (61) days, and from submission to online publication was 207 (123) days. Higher impact factors correlated with longer publication times for all metrics. Later years of publication correlated with longer times from SA and submission to online publication. For each point increase in a journal's impact factor, multivariate regression modeling estimated a 19.2-day increase in time from SA, a 19.7-day increase in time from acceptance to online publication, and a 38.9-day increase in time from submission to online publication (P < 0.001 for all).
Publication speeds vary widely among neurosurgery journals and appear to be associated with the journal impact factor. Time to publication increased over the study period.
许多因素会影响作者选择投稿的期刊，包括期刊影响因子和发表速度。这些以及其他文献计量数据点尚未在专注于神经外科的期刊中得到评估。
对八本领先的神经外科期刊进行分析，以识别原创文章和综述，通过对2016年至2020年每年每期刊登的文章进行随机分层抽样收集。收集每篇文章的发表速度文献计量数据。使用科睿唯安期刊引证报告确定期刊影响因子、文章处理费和开放获取情况。采用相关分析和线性回归模型来估计影响因子和发表年份对发表速度的影响。
在这8本神经外科期刊中，共审查了1617篇发表的文章。从投稿到接受（SA）的平均（标准差）时间为131（101）天，从接受至在线发表为77（61）天，从投稿至在线发表为207（123）天。所有指标中，较高的影响因子与较长的发表时间相关。较晚的发表年份与从SA到投稿至在线发表的较长时间相关。期刊影响因子每增加1分，多变量回归模型估计从SA起时间增加19.2天，从接受至在线发表时间增加19.7天，从投稿至在线发表时间增加38.9天（所有P<0.001）。
神经外科期刊的发表速度差异很大，且似乎与期刊影响因子有关。在研究期间，发表时间有所增加。
