Best one hundred papers of International Orthopaedics: a bibliometric analysis

Authors: Andreas F. Mavrogenis, Panayiotis D. Megaloikonomos, Georgios N. Panagopoulos, Cyril Mauffrey, Andrew Quaile, Marius M. Scarlat

Published in: International Orthopaedics | Issue 4/2017

Abstract

Introduction

International Orthopaedics was founded in 1977. Within the 40 volumes and 247 issues since its launch, 5462 scientific articles have been published. This article identifies, analyses and categorises the best cited articles published by the journal to date.

Methods

We searched Elsevier Scopus database for citations of all papers published in International Orthopaedics since its foundation. Source title was selected, and the journal’s title was introduced in the search engine. The identified articles were sorted based on their total number of received citations, forming a descending list from 1 to 100. Total citations and self-citations of all co-authors were recorded. Year of publication, number of co-authors, number of pages, country and institution of origin and study type were identified.

Results

The best 100 papers and their citations correspond approximately to 2% of all the journal’s publications. Total citations ranged from 62 to 272; 26 papers had >100 citations, of which self-citations accounted for <4%. Mean authorship number per paper was four and mean page number 6.5. United States, Japan and Germany ranked the top three countries of origin. The most common study type was case series, and most common topics were adult reconstruction, sports medicine and trauma.

Conclusions

This article identifies topics, authors and institutions that contributed with their high-quality work in the journal’s development over time. International Orthopaedics remains faithful to its authors and readers by publishing topical, well-written articles in excellent English.
