The Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal (MOJ) (ISSN 1985-2533 / 2232-111X) is the official publication of the Malaysian Orthopaedic Association (MOA) and the ASEAN Orthopaedic Association (AOA). In May 2007, MOA published the first standalone issue of MOJ with the aim of disseminating new knowledge and providing updates in orthopaedics, trauma and musculoskeletal research. Since then, MOJ has grown significantly, achieving indexing in numerous databases and attaining a 2nd Quartile (Q2) rank in the Scopus database in 2022. This bibliometric analysis aims to explore the trends and distribution of articles published in MOJ.
Bibliometric data for MOJ was extracted from the SCOPUS database, covering the years from its indexing to 2022. Information such as authors, country, document type, author's keywords, citations, and other parameters were extracted using the bibliometrix package in the R Studio software. The data were then presented in tables and illustrative graphs using the same software.
A total of 305 articles were retrieved from the Scopus database during the study period. Two-thirds of the articles were original articles and review articles. The highest number of citations received by an article is 56, and top ten articles in MOJ were authored by researchers from seven different countries, highlighting the journal's diversity. Despite receiving submissions from various countries, there is minimal collaboration between authors of different countries. Keywords such as "covid-19" and "pandemic" dominate the authors' keyword section due to the once-in-a-life-time COVID-19 which during the study period, resulting in numerous publications related to this issue.
This bibliometric analysis reviews all the articles indexed in the Scopus database and provides insight into the contributors' information and the trends in orthopaedic research. By identifying the lack of collaboration between countries, it is hoped that this analysis can inspire more orthopaedic surgeons and researchers to collaborate and produce high-quality publications.
《马来西亚骨科杂志》（MOJ）（国际标准连续出版物编号：1985 - 2533 / 2232 - 111X）是马来西亚骨科协会（MOA）和东盟骨科协会（AOA）的官方出版物。2007年5月，MOA出版了第一期独立发行的MOJ，旨在传播新知识并提供骨科、创伤和肌肉骨骼研究的最新信息。从那时起，MOJ有了显著发展，被多个数据库收录，并于2022年在Scopus数据库中获得第二四分位数（Q2）排名。本文献计量分析旨在探讨在MOJ上发表文章的趋势和分布情况。
MOJ的文献计量数据从Scopus数据库中提取，涵盖从被收录到2022年的年份。使用R Studio软件中的bibliometrix包提取作者、国家、文献类型、作者关键词、引用次数及其他参数等信息。然后使用同一软件将数据呈现于表格和说明性图表中。
在研究期间，从Scopus数据库共检索到305篇文章。其中三分之二的文章为原创文章和综述文章。一篇文章获得的最高引用次数为56次，MOJ的前十篇文章由来自七个不同国家的研究人员撰写，凸显了该期刊的多样性。尽管收到了来自各个国家的投稿，但不同国家的作者之间合作极少。由于在研究期间发生了前所未有的新冠疫情，“covid - 19”和“大流行”等关键词在作者关键词部分占主导地位，导致出现了大量与此问题相关的出版物。
本文献计量分析回顾了Scopus数据库中收录的所有文章，并提供了关于贡献者信息和骨科研究趋势的见解。通过识别国家间合作的不足，希望该分析能激励更多骨科外科医生和研究人员开展合作并发表高质量的出版物。
