The purpose of this study was to analyze the publication characteristics and development of the International Journal of Surgery (IJS) over its 20-year history.
This study included articles published in IJS during the 20 years from 2004 to 2024. The data were analyzed using the Citespace, VOS viewer, and the 'Bibliometrix' package in R software. The authors studied the dynamics and trend patterns of IJS literature production through descriptive bibliometrics and identified the most prolific authors, publications, institutions, and countries. Bibliometric maps were utilized to visualize published articles' content and identify the most prolific research terms and topics in IJS , as well as their evolution over time.
A total of 5964 publications in the IJS from 2004 to 2023 and 356 publications in 2024 were included in the analysis. The study revealed a positive trend in literature production, although the number of articles published in IJS has slightly decreased recently. The most productive country was China ( n =1211), the most productive institution was Sichuan University ( n =151), and the most prolific author was Wang Yang ( n =87). The top 15 most cited articles focus primarily on research reporting standard guidelines for surgical studies. Research published in IJS mainly targeted middle-aged and older adults, emphasizing postoperative complications and treatment outcomes. The future research focus in IJS might center on integrating artificial intelligence and deep learning technologies to revolutionize surgical research and practice.
The International Journal of Surgery significantly contributes to advances in surgical research. IJS prioritized enhancing patient outcomes and advancing surgical techniques, focusing on middle-aged and older adults, postoperative complications, and treatment outcomes. The journal emphasized robust evidence through retrospective, controlled, and cohort surgical studies. Integrating artificial intelligence and deep learning represented a significant frontier poised to revolutionize surgical care, shaping the future landscape of research and practice.
本研究旨在分析《国际外科学杂志》（IJS）20年历史中的出版特征与发展情况。
本研究纳入了2004年至2024年这20年间在IJS上发表的文章。使用Citespace、VOS viewer以及R软件中的“Bibliometrix”软件包对数据进行分析。作者通过描述性文献计量学研究了IJS文献产出的动态和趋势模式，并确定了最多产的作者、出版物、机构和国家。利用文献计量图直观呈现已发表文章的内容，识别IJS中最多产的研究术语和主题，以及它们随时间的演变。
分析纳入了2004年至2023年IJS上发表的5964篇出版物以及2024年的356篇出版物。研究显示文献产出呈积极趋势，尽管IJS最近发表的文章数量略有下降。最多产的国家是中国（n = 1211），最多产的机构是四川大学（n = 151），最多产的作者是王洋（n = 87）。被引次数排名前15的文章主要关注外科研究的报告标准指南。IJS上发表的研究主要针对中老年人，强调术后并发症和治疗结果。IJS未来的研究重点可能集中在整合人工智能和深度学习技术，以彻底改变外科研究和实践。
《国际外科学杂志》对外科研究的进展做出了重大贡献。IJS优先考虑改善患者预后和推进手术技术，关注中老年人、术后并发症和治疗结果。该杂志通过回顾性、对照和队列外科研究强调有力的证据。整合人工智能和深度学习代表了一个重大前沿领域，有望彻底改变外科护理，塑造研究和实践的未来格局。
