“…Some of our findings are similar to those reported in other scientific topics, particularly that the United States dominates world scientific production. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] As in other citation analyses, several shortcomings need to be addressed in the current study. First, the exclusive use of pleural effusion as the search parameter may have resulted in the overlooking of some articles which employed other key terms (eg, empyema, pleurodesis, thoracentesis, etc).…”

Background: Research in pleural diseases has traditionally been neglected but is now growing. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze scientific research trends on pleural effusions over the last decades. Method: We conducted a bibliometric analysis of the Scopus database from its inception to March 2016, searching for original articles and reviews on ''pleural effusion'' (key word). Journal, year of publication, number of citations, authors and their affiliations, and the Hirsch (H)-index for some of these variables were recorded and analyzed. Results: A total of 15 982 documents were retrieved, of which half have been published in the last 18 years and a quarter during the last 8 years. Chest ranked first regarding the number of documents on pleural effusions (both absolute number and yearly rate) and their scientific relevance (H-index of 76). The United States had contributed the most to pleural research productivity (23%). American pulmonologists Dr Richard Light and Dr Steven Sahn exhibited the highest number of papers (206 and 156, respectively) and author H-indexes (44 and 38, respectively). Conclusion: There is growing research activity in the field of pleural effusions, which has gained relevance and visibility in clinical respiratory journals. The United States is the leader in quantity and quality of research productivity in pleural medicine.

“…Although it is unwise to assess the quality of a study based only on its citation rating, the frequency of citing has significant implications for authors, journals, institutions and even countries, as it is one of the markers of the impact of an individual scholarly work within the scientific community [1]. Therefore, various techniques have been used to identify the most frequently cited articles in both medical and surgical specialties, including traumatic brain injury [2], neurosurgery [3], orthopedics [4], cardiac surgery [5], urology [6], cardiovascular disease [7], hypertension [8], and lung disease [9]. …”

BackgroundTo identify and characterize the most frequently cited articles that have been published on aortic dissection.MethodsA list of the 100 most frequently cited publications (T100) about aortic dissection was generated by performing a searching of the Science Citation Index--Expanded using “aortic dissection” as the search term. Basic information about the articles was recorded, including number of citations, journal title, journal impact factor, time since publication, first author’s country, topic/subspecialty of the research, and publication type.ResultsWe finally included 180 articles on aortic dissection, from which we identified the 100 most frequently cited articles (T100). The most frequently cited article received 1079 citations, while the least frequently cited article received 68 (mean140.5 citations per article). The T100 originated from 19 countries, with more than half of them originating from the USA (n = 97). The T100 articles were published from 1955 to 2013, with 79% published during the period 1990–2009. In addition, there were 40 different journals with Circulation having the most citations (n = 38). Regarding the article type, there were 21 basic and 140 clinical research articles, one meta-analysis, and 18 review articles. Reviews had the highest mean number of citations (mean 235.5 citations per article).ConclusionsOur study provides a historical perspective on the progress of dissection research, and helps to identify the quality of the work, the discoveries made, and the trends steering the studies.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12872-016-0426-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…3 Moreover, Callaham et al concluded that the strongest predictor for the number of obtained citations in a paper is the journal impact factor, meaning that the publishing journal could be considered important in the evaluation of the quality of a publication. 4 Several papers have reported analyses of the most-cited publications in a number of fields of health sciences, [5][6][7][8][9] including dentistry, where different specialties have also been separately addressed. [10][11][12] The aim of the present study was to identify, after interrogating two distinct electronic databases, the 100 most-cited articles in the field of periodontology and to provide a descriptive analysis of the results.…”

There is a lack of evidence of the correlation between age of publication and number of citations. The concordance between the two databases that were reviewed was relatively significant, even though the rankings of the most-cited articles are dependent on the number of journals covered by one database. The actual value of the number of citations to measure the quality of one article should be carefully evaluated.
