Bibliometric analysis and evaluation of the <i>Journal of Prosthodontic Research</i> from 2009 to 2021

Abstract

on a quarterly basis, and the first issue was published in January 2009. Demonstrating the trends and impact of a journal in its field is essential [1]. One approach to this is the "bibliometric analysis," through which the core research areas, authors, countries, journals, and their relationships can be identified by covering of all the publications related to a given topic, field, or journal [2,3]. In a bibliometric analysis, a citation analysis shows how frequently other authors cite a publication [4]. A bibliometric study provides tools to assess scientific production. Several bibliometric studies have been published in the field of dentistry [5][6][7][8][9][10][11], including prosthodontics [12][13][14][15], although most focused on the most cited articles. No bibliometric analysis of the research output of JPR has been conducted to date. Therefore, the present bibliometric study aimed to dissect the published documents, research areas, citation index, contributing authors, countries, and organizations as well as the references and sources cited by JPR since its inception.

<i>JPR</i> step forwards to new stage in 2023

“…While prosthodontics-related bioscience words, such as bone, osteoclasts, and cyclic pressure, were largely visualized, finish line, 3D, PLA, and FDM, which are associated with digital dentistry, also frequently appeared. As emphasized in a bibliographic analysis [2] and the last editorial by Senior Scientific Editor Prof. Kaku [3], digital dentistry is one of the most heavily reported topics in JPR. Digital dentistry encompasses any digital or computer-based technology, including computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), three-dimensional (3D) printing, imaging, and artificial intelligence (AI).…”

Bibliometric analysis of research publications in three major orthodontic journals during 2012–2021

“…[1,2] Considered an effective approach for information retrieval and stratification, numerous bibliometric studies have been conducted in the various fields of medicine and dentistry specialties, including endodontics, periodontology, pediatric dentistry, implantology, prosthodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Several bibliometric studies have been conducted to gauge the performance and impact of orthodontic research in recent years. Most of these bibliometric studies have focused on the most-cited articles [12][13][14][15] or specific parameters [16,17] or have not included the most recent studies; [18,19] thus, the overall orthodontic research profile of studies published in the past decade has not yet been comprehensively investigated.…”

Beyond diversity in prosthodontic research

“…It has been almost three years since the outbreak of COVID-19, and we are starting to see a ray of hope in the grim situation. The Journal of Prosthodontic Research (JPR) has also been steadily growing as a leading journal in prosthodontics [1][2][3]. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you for your efforts and cooperation.…”
