“…This indicates a growing trend of publishing highly influential articles in specialty journals compared with other higher impact factor journals. Other bibliometric analyses also tend to support this notion [Brandt et al 2010; Eshraghi et al 2011; Hennessey et al 2009; Loomes and van Zanten, 2013].…”

“…A total of 12 of the highly cited articles in our investigation were guideline papers, which were all published in diabetes specialty journals. Several analyses have reported that highly influential reports/guidelines are often published in the specialty journals [Brandt et al 2010; Eshraghi et al 2011; Hennessey et al 2009; Loomes and van Zanten, 2013].…”

Introduction:The number of citations an article receives is an important indication of its impact and its contribution to academia. There is a paucity of literature concerning top article citations in diabetes. The main objective of this investigation was to bridge this gap and to provide readers with a practical guide in evaluating diabetes literature. Methods: Scopus Library was searched to determine the citations of all published diabetes articles. A total of 100 articles were included in our investigation under the subject category 'Diabetes, diabetes mellitus, and diabetics'. Two databases were used to extract citations. We did not apply any time restriction in our search. The top 100 cited articles were selected and analyzed by two independent investigators. We extracted immediacy index from ResearchGate. Results:The journal with the highest number of top 100 cited articles was The New England Journal of Medicine with 23, followed by 22 in Diabetes Care. The top article on the list received 17,779 citations. A statistically significant association was found between the journal impact factor and the number of top 100 cited articles (p < 0.005). The United States had the highest number of articles (59). Contrary to bibliometric analyses published in other medical fields, the largest subset of the diabetes articles (n = 54) were published in the 10-year period between 2000 and 2009. Conclusion: Our analysis provides an insight on the citation frequency of top cited articles published in diabetes to help recognize the quality of the works, discoveries and the trends steering the study of diabetes.

“…Top-cited articles on hypertension and tuberculosis, for example, tend to be published in general journals, whereas those on lung transplantation are usually published in specialized journals. [ 14 , 18 , 39 ] These findings suggest the need to develop measures to assess the significance of specific research papers that are more accurate.…”

Aims:To identify and characterize the top-cited articles in the field of islet transplantation.Methods:We used the Science Citation Index Expanded database to identify the most frequently cited articles published after 1900. Articles were evaluated using the following characteristics: citation number, publication year, study design, references, country and institution of origin, authorship, and journal. Keyword analysis and citation networks were used to analyze research trends.Results:The most frequently cited articles received between 146 and 2988 citations; the median was 291. All of the most frequently cited articles were published between 1972 and 2012, and 85 articles were published after 1990. The most popular study design involved basic science (75 articles). The leading countries were the United States (US) and Canada, and the leading institutions were the University of Alberta, Canada, and the University of Minnesota, in the US. Journals specializing in diabetes or transplantation published more than half of the articles (n = 53, 52%), with the journal Diabetes publishing the largest number (n = 30). No association was found between a journal's impact factor and the number of top-cited articles it published. There was no correlation between the number of citations and the number of years since publication, authors, participating institutions, or countries involved. Top-cited articles focused on 2 themes: the use of antirejection immunotherapy or biocompatible encapsulations to prolong graft survival, and assessments of the efficacy of islet transplants, in particular, islet allografts.Conclusions:Our study can help researchers to identify and decipher the characteristics of top-cited articles in the field of islet transplantation. Just as clinically successful allografts are carried out using the Edmonton protocol, autografts and xenografts should be similarly strengthened to solve problems relating to immune rejection and islet sources, respectively.
