“…Medical and dental research has grown considerably in recent decades, and editors frequently pair increase in the number of publications with an expansion of the number of authors involved in the study. Geminiani et al (2014) presented several reasons for the growing number of authors per publication: the deepening complexity of the research itself, the expansion of international co-operation, the joy of collaboration, and the development of new technologies and techniques in patient care. The problem of including several names in the list of authors has seen considerable discussion, and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) has proposed stricter and more clearly defined criteria for authorship and contributorship (ICMJE 2016).…”

How do statistics in dental articles differ from those articles published in highly visible medical journals?

Statistical methods play an important role in medical and dental research. Earlier studies have found that the current use of methods and statistical reporting lead to errors in interpreting results. This study aimed to compare statistical methods and reporting between dental articles and reports published in highly visible medical journals. We analyzed 200 papers published in 2010 in five dental journals and 240 papers published between 2007 and 2011 in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and the Lancet. We summarized the characteristics of the informed authors, classified the articles by study design type and reviewed the main strategy in the analysis of the primary research question. We also assessed the frequency with which the articles report various statistical methods. We then examined the differences between the dental and medical articles. The median number of authors in articles in the dental versus those in the Lancet and NEJM articles was 5 versus 12. International co-operation in the dental journals was lower than in the medical journals. The proportion of papers reporting ''significant'' results was 62.5 % in the dental journals and 48.3 % in the Lancet and the NEJM. The percentage frequencies of statistical procedures used in the two sets of articles indicate a broader use of statistical methods in the Lancet and the NEJM, and that both journals were significantly more likely to use advanced statistical methods.

Systematic analysis of integral aspects within sport enables improvement in performance. One key aspect is the management and prevention of injuries. Bibliometrics is a systematic method for evaluating research output. It may be expected that the quantity and quality of sports injury research over time may strongly correlate with the timing of the Olympic games. This study was conducted to determine the effect of the Olympic legacy on academic sports medicine and evidence to prevent injuries of the face and teeth. A literature search within the PubMed database was undertaken to identify the quantity of literature published annually between 1996 and 2015 in the fields of sports injuries and injury prevention. The top 5 journals publishing in each field were then identified and the change in their impact factor (IF) was investigated. It was seen that, since 1996, there has been an overall increase in the quantity of literature published regarding sports injuries and prevention of sports injuries of 209% and 217%, respectively. Publications regarding facial injuries and dental injuries within sport show an increase of 114% and 71%, respectively. There was an increase in IF since 2000 in almost every journal investigated. A strong, positive correlation is seen among journals publishing on the prevention of sports injuries, showing a median IF increase of 2.8198. No statistical significance was found between Olympic years and the number of publications. Hence, there has been a gradual increase in both the quality and quantity of publications regarding sports injuries since 1996. However, there appears to be no immediate added effect of the “Olympic legacy” following each Olympic games on the quantity or quality of publications in these fields.
