is a world leader in disseminating neurosurgical science. Although the literature has seen significant increases in academic collaboration, data science, and authorship diversity, the bibliometric evolution of remains unknown. This study sought to elucidate bibliometric trends in from 1977 to 2023.
Wolters Kluwer and Web of Science were used to identify all publications in from 1977 to 2023. Database utilization was analyzed from 2007 to 2023 using abstract keywords. The BERTopic tool analyzed prevailing subspecialty themes. Publication types including clinical/case report/review were analyzed. Statistical analysis included exponential and linear regression.
From 1977 to 2023, 29 755 publications containing 127 171 authors were published in . From 1977 to 2023, the mean authorship count per publication exponentially increased (2.4 to 8.4, 2.0% annually) ( = 0.76), small authorship groups (≤ 5 authors) linearly decreased (90% to 37%) ( = 0.93), multinational authorship groups linearly increased (0% to 21.2%) ( = 0.95), and authorship affiliations per publication exponentially increased (1.3 to 4.6, 3.2% annually) ( = 0.65). From 1990 to 2023, female first authorship linearly increased (7.5% to 15.7%) ( = 0.93), Bachelor degree first authorship increased (0.6% to 12.5%), and MD/PhD senior authorship increased (6.2% to 24.7%), with more review articles and less case reports. Cerebrovascular topics dominated from 1980 to 2020, with spine topics most represented in the 2020s. Database utilization demonstrated an exponential, 4.6-fold increase from 2007 (0.38%) to 2023 (2.14%) ( = 0.63).
publications have demonstrated increasing authorship counts, authorship diversity, collaboration, and database utilization since the journal's 1977 inception, prominently publishing on topics in cerebrovascular and spine research.
[期刊名称]在传播神经外科学术方面处于世界领先地位。尽管文献中学术合作、数据科学和作者多样性有显著增加，但[期刊名称]的文献计量学演变仍不为人知。本研究旨在阐明1977年至2023年[期刊名称]的文献计量学趋势。
使用Wolters Kluwer和科学网来识别1977年至2023年[期刊名称]的所有出版物。从2007年到2023年，利用摘要关键词分析数据库使用情况。使用BERTopic工具分析主要的亚专业主题。分析包括临床/病例报告/综述在内的出版物类型。统计分析包括指数回归和线性回归。
1977年至2023年，[期刊名称]发表了29755篇包含127171位作者的出版物。1977年至2023年，每篇出版物的平均作者数量呈指数增长（从2.4增长到8.4，年增长率2.0%）（R² = 0.76），小作者群体（≤5位作者）呈线性下降（从90%降至37%）（R² = 0.93），跨国作者群体呈线性增长（从0%增至21.2%）（R² = 0.95），每篇出版物的作者所属机构呈指数增长（从1.3增长到4.6，年增长率3.2%）（R² = 0.65）。1990年至2023年，女性第一作者比例呈线性增长（从7.5%增至15.7%）（R² = 0.93），学士学位第一作者比例增加（从0.6%增至12.5%），医学博士/哲学博士高级作者比例增加（从6.2%增至24.7%），综述文章增多，病例报告减少。1980年至2020年脑血管主题占主导，2020年代脊柱主题占比最大。数据库使用情况呈指数增长，从2007年的0.38%增至2023年的2.14%，增长了4.6倍（R² = 0.63）。
自1977年创刊以来[期刊名称]的出版物展现出作者数量增加、作者多样性增加、合作增多以及数据库使用增加的趋势，主要发表脑血管和脊柱研究方面的主题。
