In this study, citations, altmetric scores, and field-normalized impact of articles investigating resin-based adhesives, luting agents, or restorative composites were investigated. Articles published in 2019 on resin-based dental materials indexed in Scopus were searched and assessed by independent investigators. Data collected in 2023 included several article variables and, as outcomes, citation in Scopus and Google Scholar, Altmetric Attention Scores (AAS), and Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI). Data were analyzed using stepwise backward quasi-Poisson regression models (p < 0.05). A total of 707 articles were included, which evaluated restorative composites (58.3%), adhesives (27.2%), and luting agents (19.5%). The majority of corresponding authors were from Asia/Oceania (42.2%), with publications mainly subscription-based (54%) and lacking international collaboration (68.5%). Only 1.4% reported conflicts of interest, and 47.7% did not disclose sponsorship. Median citations were 7 in Scopus and 13 in Google Scholar, whereas the median FWCI was 1. The majority of articles had an AAS of zero. Multivariate analysis showed study sponsorship type and journal CiteScore influenced citations, while COI and the author's continent impacted AAS and FWCI, respectively. Articles on luting agents were less likely to receive citations. The report of conflict of interest was associated with approximately 18 times higher AAS values. This study emphasizes the significance of the type of resin-based material, journal CiteScore, authors' continent, and type of sponsorship in affecting citations, visibility, and impact of scientific articles. Research on luting agents may need better dissemination strategies for increased visibility. The substantial effect of COI presence underscores the importance of transparency.
在本研究中，对研究树脂基粘合剂、粘结剂或修复性复合材料的文章的引用情况、替代计量学得分和领域标准化影响力进行了调查。独立研究人员检索并评估了2019年发表在Scopus索引的树脂基牙科材料相关文章。2023年收集的数据包括多个文章变量，以及作为结果的Scopus和谷歌学术的引用次数、替代计量学关注度得分（AAS）和领域加权引用影响力（FWCI）。使用逐步向后拟泊松回归模型（p < 0.05）对数据进行分析。共纳入707篇文章，其中评估修复性复合材料的文章占58.3%，粘合剂的文章占27.2%，粘结剂的文章占19.5%。大多数通讯作者来自亚洲/大洋洲（42.2%），发表的文章主要基于订阅（54%）且缺乏国际合作（68.5%）。只有1.4%的文章报告了利益冲突，47.7%的文章未披露资助情况。Scopus中的引用中位数为7次，谷歌学术中的引用中位数为13次，而FWCI中位数为1。大多数文章的AAS为零。多变量分析表明，研究资助类型和期刊CiteScore影响引用次数，而利益冲突和作者所在大陆分别影响AAS和FWCI。关于粘结剂的文章获得引用的可能性较小。利益冲突报告与AAS值高出约18倍相关。本研究强调了树脂基材料类型、期刊CiteScore、作者所在大陆和资助类型对科学文章的引用、可见性和影响力的重要性。关于粘结剂的研究可能需要更好的传播策略以提高可见性。利益冲突存在的显著影响凸显了透明度的重要性。
