“…It is interesting to note that 76 articles are common to the two lists involved in this study, a number higher than that found for another medical discipline in a similar study, 61/100 [ 46 ]. Comparison of the 24 that were not on both lists reveals noteworthy differences in the years of publication ( Table 6 ): a median of 2004 for the top-cited group, 2009 being the most recent year, and a median of 2014 for the top RCRs, 18 of them in the period 2011–2019.…”

“…Although the application of the RCR system is relatively new, and direct comparisons among fields are still developing, the expectations for RCR in bibliometric analysis are great and growing, given its documented usefulness [ 38 ]. The RCR was originally designed to assess the scientific impact of NIH-funded research; but it was soon adopted for bibliometric analyses beyond this intended purpose, for instance, to measure the research productivity of scientists or clinicians [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ], to evaluate the characteristics of clinical trials [ 45 ], or to evaluate the most influential articles [ 46 ].…”

Root Canal Disinfection Articles with the Highest Relative Citation Ratios. A Bibliometric Analysis from 1990 to 2019

et al. 2021

The relative citation rate (RCR) is a normalized article-level metric useful to assess the impact of research articles. The objective of this bibliometric study is to identify and analyze, in root canal disinfection, the 100 articles having the highest RCRs in the period 1990–2019, then compare them with the top 100 articles most cited. A cross-sectional study was performed, and the search strategy ((Disinfection AND root canal) AND ((“1990/01/01”[Date-Publication]: “2019/12/31”[Date-Publication]))) relied on PubMed (n = 4294 documents), and article data were downloaded from the iCite database. The 100 articles with the highest RCRs and the top 100 cited were selected and evaluated in bibliometric terms. Among the 100 articles with the highest RCRs, there were no differences in the three decades for RCRs values, but there were in citations, being 2000–2009 the most cited. The USA was the predominant country (n = 30), followed by Brazil (n = 14). The most frequent study designs were reviews (n = 27) and in vitro (n = 25) and ex vivo (n = 24) studies. All subfields were well represented, although they varied over time. In 2010–2019, regenerative procedures and irrigation/disinfection techniques were predominant. Considering the RCR’s top 100 articles, 76 were common with the 100 most cited articles. Using the RCR metric allowed us to identify influential articles in root canal disinfection, a research field with topics of significance that fluctuate over time. Compared to citations, RCR reduces the time from publication to detection of its importance for the readership and could be a valid alternative to citation counts.

“…These types of analyses provide a critical evaluation of available literature and serve as a measure of academic production by researchers. There have been bibliometric studies in other specialties identifying important contributions to their specific fields, including anesthesia, 5 critical care medicine, 6,7 obstetrics and gynecology, 8,9 orthopedic surgery, 10,11 radiology, 12,13 plastic surgery, 14,15 general surgery, 16,17 and dermatology. 18,19 These articles focus on citation counts as a possible way of measuring the influence and importance—“impact” in the parlance of bibliometric analysis—of specific articles on their fields of study.…”

Publications in Pediatric Epilepsy: Using Bibliometrics to Determine Readings in the Field

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bibliometrics and citation analysis are popular forms of analyzing medical literature based on article impact as determined by the number of citations an article has received from other publications. Many bibliometric studies published within the past 10 years have assembled lists of highly cited papers, top 100 papers, or citation classics of specialties, subspecialties, and specific morbidities. For pediatric epilepsy, there is only 1 study that bibliometrically examines articles in this subspecialty. Although bibliometrics generally examines trends in the literature, we used bibliometrics as a methodology for determining a core set of pediatric epilepsy articles with the highest impact (ie, citation count) that could be used as an introductory reading list for residents, fellows, and early career epileptologists. Therefore, we searched Web of Science to identify the 100 top-cited pediatric epilepsy articles and develop 10 topic areas into which we sorted each article. These recommended articles could be used as essential readings for pediatric epilepsy.

“…Researchers across different disciplines have applied various methods to generate these lists of influential papers. Some lists are entirely bibliometric analyses of citations, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] some are built on expert consensus, 10,11 and others combine these two approaches. [12][13][14] As these publications become increasingly available in other fields, we aimed to fill this gap in laryngology.…”

Twenty‐One for 2021: The Most Influential Papers in Laryngology Since 2000

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objectives/Hypothesis: To identify the most influential publications in laryngology since 2000. Study Design: Modified Delphi process. Methods: Samples of laryngologists drawn from editors of leading journals, organization officers, and thought leaders were invited to participate in a modified Delphi identification of influential laryngology papers. Influential was defined as follows: yielding meaningful practice changes, catalyzing further work as a foundation for an important topic, altering traditional views, or demonstrating durability over time. Quality and validity were not among the selection criteria. Each participant nominated 5 to 10 papers in Round 1. These nominations, augmented with papers from bibliometric analysis, were narrowed further in Round 2 as participants identified their top 20. The 40 papers with the most Round 2 votes were discussed by video conference and then subjected to Round 3 voting, with each participant again selecting their top 20 most influential papers. Final results were collated by the number of Round 3 votes.Results: Sixteen of 18 invited laryngologists participated overall (all 16 in Rounds 1 and 3; 14 in Round 2). Twenty-one papers were identified as most influential. One paper appeared on all 16 Round 3 lists; three papers with eight (50%) votes each were lasted to make the list. Eleven of these 21 focused on voice; three each related to cancer, airway, and swallowing; and one encompassed all of these clinical areas.Conclusions: This list of 21 influential laryngology papers serves to focus further research, provides perspective on recent advances within the field, and is an educational resource for trainees and practicing physicians.
