Top-ten most-cited articles on anterior column release in the context of minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion.

Lateral anterior column release (ACR) is a minimally invasive option for the correction of sagittal plane deformity. To assemble a homogeneous picture of published research on ACR, an advanced bibliometric analysis was conducted to compile the top-ten most-cited articles on the topic of ACR. A keyword search using the Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge was conducted to identify articles discussing the role of lateral ACR. The articles were then ranked based on the total number of citations to identify the ten most-cited articles published. A subjective appraisal of the findings of these articles was conducted to provide a ranked literature review and to examine trends in the study of ACR between 2012 and 2019. The earliest published article on ACR was in 2012 by Deukmedjian et al. Three articles were in vitro biomechanical assessments of ACR, and seven articles were on outcome analyses, which were either case series or case controlled. The most-cited article was a biomechanical study authored by Uribe et al. The article with the highest rate of citations/year was authored by Manwaring et al. Uribe and the European Spine Journal were the most frequently cited author and journal, respectively. The lateral ACR approach has enjoyed significant scholarly attention since its advent. Higher-level analyses with robust control groups, larger sample sizes, and long-term follow-up are necessary to improve our understanding of this approach.

Demographics and Characteristics of Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program Directors: A Cross-sectional Review.

Data for each PD were collected by searching publicly available curriculum vitae, LinkedIn, Healthgrades, Doximity, and/or institutional biographies and consolidated into a database. Research productivities were collected by searching PubMed and Scopus. Of the 210 PDs, 188 (89.5%) were male and 22 (10.5%) were female. One hundred seventy-four (82.9%) were non-Hispanic White, 14 (6.7%) Asian American and Pacific Islander, 12 (5.7%) Black or African American, 4 (1.9%) Hispanic or Latino, and 6 (2.9%) other/unknown. Twenty-four (11.4%) PDs had a military affiliation. Moreover, the most common subspecialties among orthopaedic PDs were orthopaedic traumatology (19.5%, n = 41), sports medicine (15.7%, n = 33), and hand surgery (11.9%, n = 25). The mean Scopus h-index, total number of publications at the time of data collection (June 2022), and total number of citations for all orthopaedic residency PDs were 10.5 ± 9.5, 33.9 ± 51.0, and 801.9 ± 1,536.4, respectively. Among all PDs, the mean tenure in the position was 8.9 ± 6.2 years to date, and the mean time from completion of residency to appointment as PD was 10.0 ± 6.2 years. Among orthopaedic surgery residency PDs, there is sparse female and minority representation. Overarchingly, orthopaedic PDs are White men in their early 50s. Moreover, 59.1% of PDs were appointed at an institution where they completed medical school, residency, or fellowship. orthopaedic traumatology (19.5%), sports medicine (15.7%), and hand surgery (11.9%) were the subspecialties most represented in current orthopaedic surgery PDs. This study outlines important demographic characteristics among orthopaedic surgery residency PDs. III.

Prioritisation of Charismatic Animals in Major Conservation Journals Measured by the Altmetric Attention Score

Large, charismatic animals trigger human emotional responses, which consequently result in taxonomic biases that have been proven in various fields. In our research, we analysed the representation of animals and plants in scientific papers published in three major conservation journals (Conservation Biology, Journal of Applied Ecology and Conservation Letters) between 2011 and 2020. Furthermore, we examined the Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) and each paper’s total number of citations focused exclusively on a single taxon (59% of all papers). Mammals were represented on journal cover pages significantly more frequently than other taxa, while reptiles, amphibians and fish were underrepresented. The total number of published papers and the AAS favoured mammals significantly, while reptiles, plants and amphibians received the lowest AAS. The AAS of mammals was positively influenced by the body mass and appeal score. Scientific citations showed a slight correlation with the AAS. Papers about mammals, invertebrates and amphibians received the most citations, followed by plants, fish, birds and reptiles. These results showed that there are taxonomic biases that favour large mammals over other taxa, both among scientists as well as the public. Therefore, publication policy should be changed in order to support the shift of scientists and, subsequently, public interest itself toward neglected taxa.

A Bibliometric and Visualized Overview of Hydrogen Embrittlement from 1997 to 2022

Therefore, it is important to summarize the status and development trends of research on HE. This study reviewed 6676 publications concerned with HE from 1997 to 2022 based on the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer was used to conduct the bibliometric analysis and produce visualizations of the publications. The results showed that the number of publications on HE increased after 2007, especially between 2017 and 2019. Japan was the country with the highest numbers of productive authors and citations of publications, and the total number of citations of Japanese publications was 24,589. Kyushu University was the most influential university, and the total number of citations of Kyushu University publications was 7999. Akiyama was the most prolific and influential author, publishing 88 publications with a total of 2565 citations. The USA, South Korea and some European countries are also leading in HE research; these countries have published more than 200 publications. It was also found that the HE publications generally covered five topics: “Hydrogen embrittlement in different materials”, “Effect of hydrogen on mechanical properties of materials”, “Effect of alloying elements or microstructure on hydrogen embrittlement”, “Hydrogen transport”, and “Characteristics and mechanisms of hydrogen related failures”. Research hotspots included “Fracture failure behavior and analysis”, “Microstructure”, “Hydrogen diffusion and transport”, “Mechanical properties”, “Hydrogen resistance”, and so on. These covered the basic methods and purposes of HE research. Finally, the distribution of the main subject categories of the publications was determined, and these categories covered various topics and disciplines. This study establishes valuable reference information for the application and development of HE research and provides a convenient resource to help researchers and scholars understand the development trends and research directions in this field.

<b>Purpose:</b> The aim of this research is to analyze the bibliometric and altmetric scores of highly cited articles in the area of age related macular degeneration (AMD) research and to assess the correlations between them.<br /> <b>Material and methods:<i> </i></b>The data of publications in last decade were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database using "age related macular degeneration" as a search term. The top 100 cited articles (T100)  list was analyzed by author name, publication year, main topic, study type, journal name, journal impact factor (IF), H-index, total citation number (TCN), average citation per year (ACpY), Altmetric attention score (AAS), and number of tweets (NTs). VOSviewer software was utilized for  visualization of  bibliometric data.<br /> <b>Results:<i> </i></b>We discovered 16.984 articles in the last decade. The median values for TCN and AAS were 221 (IQR 178–380.75) and 13 (IQR 4-37.75), respectively in T100 list. The majority of the highly cited articles in AMD research have mainly focused on AMD treatment (n=34), especially anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy. However, social attention was primarily on the stem cell therapy. While AAS and NTs did not have significant correlation with TCN, they did show a significant positive correlation with ACpY. AAS and NTs showed significant positive correlation with journal IF and H-index.<br /> <b>Conclusion:<i> </i></b>Treatment for AMD is the most interested issue in the area. Stem cell therapies are popular on social media. The interest of social media is on articles that continue to be cited over the years rather than articles with high total citations.

Measuring the current state-of-the-art in lean healthcare literature from the lenses of bibliometric indicators

PurposeLean healthcare (LHC) applies lean philosophy in the healthcare sector to promote a culture of continuous improvement through the elimination of non-value-added activities. Studies on the subject can be classified as conceptual (theoretical) or analytical (applied). Therefore, this research compares bibliometric indicators between conceptual and analytical articles on LHC.Design/methodology/approachFor data collection, the PRISMA Protocol was employed, and 488 articles published from 2009 to 2021, indexed in the Scopus and WoS databases, were retrieved.FindingsThis study reveals how conceptual and analytical LHC studies are organized in terms of the most relevant journals, articles, institutions, countries, the total number of citations, collaboration networks (co-authorship, international collaboration network and institutional collaboration network) and main co-words.Originality/valueOnly four papers conducting bibliometric analysis on LHC studies were identified in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. In addition, none of these papers compared conceptual and analytical bibliometric indicators to reveal the evolution, organization and trends of each category. Therefore, this work is not only the first to make this comparison but also the first to analyze the collaboration between authors, institutions and countries in relation to studies on LHC. The analyses performed in this work allow one new possible understanding, by researchers and health professionals, of the literature behavior in this field of study.

Simulation-Based Education in Trauma Management: A Scoping Review.

Trauma injuries are an important healthcare problem and one of the main leading causes of death worldwide. The purpose of this review was to analyze current practices in teaching trauma management using simulations, with the aim of summarizing them, identifying gaps and providing a critical overview on what has already been achieved. A search on the Web of Science website for simulation-based trauma training articles published from 2010 onwards was performed, obtaining 1617 publications. These publications were screened to 35 articles, which were deeply analyzed, gathering the following information: the authors, the publication type, the year of the publication, the total number of citations, the population of the training, the simulation method used, the skills trained, the evaluation type used for the simulation method presented in the paper, if skills improved after the training and the context in which the simulation took place. Of the 35 articles included in this review, only a few of them had students as the target audience. The more used simulation method was a high-fidelity mannequin, in which the participants trained in more technical than non-technical skills. Almost none of the studies introduced an automated evaluation process and most of the evaluation methods consisted of checklists or questionnaires. Finally, trauma training focused more on treating trauma patients in a hospital environment than in a pre-hospital one. Overall, improvements in the evaluation method, as well as in the development of trauma training on undergraduate education, are important areas for further development.

Research status and hot topics of the effects of skin innervation on wound healing from 1959 to 2022: A bibliometric analysis.

BackgroundSkin innervation plays an important role in wound healing by either direct contact with or indirect secretions that impact skin cells. Many studies in this field have been published; however, there is a lack of bibliometric analyses focusing on the effect of skin innervation on skin wound healing. In this study, we aimed to analyse the research trends, status, and hotspots in this field.MethodsReviews and articles published in English were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database based on subject term searches. Microsoft Office Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace were used to analyse publication date, country or region, institution, author, and author keywords.ResultsA total of 368 papers published between 1959 and 2022 were included in the analysis. Although there was a pulsation during this period, there was an overall upward trend in studies related to the effect of skin innervation on wound healing. The United States, particularly the University of Washington, and Gibran, Nicole S. from the University of Washington, was the most active in this field. Wound Repair and Regeneration published the most relevant literature, and “Calcitonin gene-related peptide: physiology and pathophysiology” had the highest total number of citations. “Diabetic foot ulcer,” “epidermal stem cells,” “mesenchymal stem cells,” and “mast cells” are current and potential future research hotspots.ConclusionThis bibliometric analysis will inform the overall trends in research related to the effect of skin innervation on wound healing, summarise relevant research hotspots, and guide future work.

One hundred most-cited articles in head and neck surgery and analysis of female authorship.

While female head and neck surgeons have made significant contributions to the field, women's achievements in scientific communication have traditionally been underreported. A search of high-impact journals in the field of head and neck surgery was performed in the Elsevier's Scopus database to identify the top 100 most-cited articles. The top 100 most-cited articles (during the span of 1953 and 2016) had the highest total number of citations between 2005 and 2009. Women accounted for 36% of first authors and 25% of corresponding authors. Change in the relative number of first female authors in these top 100 articles did not increase significantly between 1950 and 2019. The proportion of female first authors in head and neck surgery has not significantly increased over the past several decades, despite greater numbers of female trainees. Our findings support the need for additional research on female representation in head and neck surgery.

A Citation Analysis Study of the 50 Most-Cited Articles on the Achilles Tendon

Category: Other; Basic Sciences/Biologics Introduction/Purpose: Achilles tendon injuries represent one of the most common reasons of referral to orthopaedic surgeons. The purpose of this study was to determine the 50 most-cited articles on Achilles tendon pathologies in order to outline their characteristics, examine trends in publication and evaluate the correlation between citations and the quality of evidence. Methods: We searched Web of Science papers with the single keyword 'Achill*'. We identified and analyzed the top 50 most- cited articles and abstracted their characteristics. The methodological quality was assessed using the modified Coleman Methodology Score (mCMS). The correlation between the number of citations, the citation rate (citations/y), the impact factor of the journal for the year 2020 (JIF), the year of publication, the Level of Evidence (LoE), the type of study (tendon rupture, acute tendinopathy, chronic tendinopathy), the sample size and the mCMS was assessed through multiple bivariate analyses (Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient). Results: Mean number of citations (+-SD) was 244 +- 88.8 (range, 657 to 157), with a total number of citations of 12.194 and a mean citation rate of 12.6 +- 5.4 (range, 28 to 3). The mean impact factor for the ten journals in which the 50 manuscripts were published was 5.1. The citation rate correlated with the number of citations (R=0.56, p<0.001), the year of publication (R=0.60, p<0.001) and the LoE (R=-0.37, p=0.022), but not with the citation rate (p=0.15). The year of publication correlated with the LoE as well (R=-0.43, p=0.008). Also, the quality of studies (in terms of mCMS) correlated with the impact factor of journals (R=0.35, p 0.03) and with the LoE (R=-0.48, p=0.003). Only 20 out of 39 primary studies (51%) had a prospective and comparative design, while 19 studies (48%) were classified as of poor quality (< 50 points using the mCMS). Conclusion: Most-cited articles in the field of Achilles tendon injuries have generally been published on high-impact journals. Although the impact factor positively correlates with the quality of studies, their methodology is poor in almost half of cases. The average Level of Evidence provided by studies and their citation rate are both significantly increasing over time. Citation-based indicators do not represent robust measures of quality in studies dealing with Achilles tendon pathologies.

Evaluation of impact factors of articles in scientific open access journals in Türkiye

In this study, the phonographic view of the acceleration of scientific publishing in Türkiye has been revealed with TÜBİTAK/DergiPark data and the values of the measurements of the impact factors of scientific journals have been sampled with the SOBIAD Index data. SOBIAD Index dataset was used in the study. Using the "full count" research method, the data were analyzed by providing access to the entire mass, which is the research population, based on purpose-oriented descriptive analysis. In the calculation of the impact factors of the articles in the SOBIAD index, multiple parameters such as the total number of citations of the articles in the journal, citation comparison (percentage) and area-weighted citation impact, new metric joint values and the similarity criteria in the content evaluation were determined. In the study, the measurement and evaluation standards of international impact factor measuring institutions (WOS-SSCI, Google Scholar, Eigenfactor Metrix and Elsevier/Scopus Index) were also used. According to the results of the research, while the average value of the impact factors of scientific journals in Türkiye is 0.19, this is seen as 6,19 in WOS-SSCI. With the research, the examination of the impact factors of scientific journals and articles in Türkiye was presented as an original review through the SOBIAD index sample. In order to increase the quality and impact factor of journal/article in academic publishing in Türkiye, qualified growth is required rather than quantitative growth.
