“…Similar results were found in other fields—reviews or systematic review papers are all positively associated with the citation of the publication (Aksnes, ; Biscaro & Giupponi, ; Knottnerus & Knottnerus, ; Lachange, Poirier, & Lariviere, ). Moreover, the growing paper length and number of cited references could be a reflection of the increasing useful information JONM contained that may provide more opportunity for citation in turn (Ball, ; Xie, Gong, Cheng, & Ke, ). Our study also shows that 11(55%) of the top 20 cited papers are just published no more than 10 years, which has confirmed the importance and influence of JONM in recent years, and which has signified the fact that citation success of a paper relies not only on the time of its publication but also on its document features (e.g.…”

Aim This study presents a general bibliometric overview of the developmental status of Journal of Nursing Management from its first issue (1993) to 2018. Background Bibliometric method is proved to be effective in analysing the publication characteristics and influence of a given journal, and it gained considerable interest from the scientific community in recent years. However, to the best of our knowledge, bibliometric approach was not previously used to analyse the publications of Journal of Nursing Management. Methods A total of 1,913 publications of Journal of Nursing Management were retrieved from Scopus database. Bibliometric analysis was used to explore the dynamic trends of publications and to identify most influential authors, institutions, countries and research teams in this journal. This paper also uses the VOS viewer software to graphically map the hot topics of Journal of Nursing Management. Results After a rapid growth from 2006 to 2008, the number of publications of Journal of Nursing Management tends to stabilize with exception of several years in the latest 11 years. The top prolific institutions are mainly from the UK, Canada, Finland and Sweden, and Journal of Nursing Management has attracted increasing attention from researchers around the world. Nursing, nurses, management, leadership and job satisfaction are the most frequently used keywords in Journal of Nursing Management. Conclusion Nursing management, nursing leadership/leaders, nursing human resource management, nursing quality and safety management, nursing communication, and conflict management have always been popular topics in Journal of Nursing Management. Implications for Nursing Management This study informs scholars and managers within nursing management field about structured knowledge of the research status and development of Journal of Nursing Management.

“…The time expressed in months from publication to retraction and from investigation to retraction was calculated based on the collected data. The citation pattern is influenced by many factors, the age of the paper and the citation time windows being the deciding factors [27][28][29]. The weighted citation index (WCI) was defined as the ratio between the number of citations and the citation time window (no.…”

Post retraction citations among manuscripts reporting a radiology-imaging diagnostic method

et al. 2019

Our study aimed to evaluate the trends of post retraction citations of articles reporting a radiology-imaging diagnostic method and to find if a different pattern exists between manuscripts reporting an ultrasound method and those reporting other radiology diagnostic methods. This study reviewed retractions stored in PubMed on the subject of radiologyimaging diagnosis to identify the motivation, time from publication to retraction, and citations before and after retraction. The PubMed database was searched on June 2017 to retrieve the retracted articles, and the Scopus database was screened to identify the post-retraction citations. The full text was screened to see the type of post-retraction citation (positive/negative) and whether the cited article appears or not as retracted. One hundred and two retractions were identified, representing 3.5% of the retracted articles indexed by PubMed, out of which 54 were included in the analysis. Half of the articles were retracted in the first 24 months after publication, and the number of post retraction citations was higher than the number of citations before retraction in 30 out of 54 cases (US methods: 9/20, other diagnostic methods 21/34, P-value = 0.2312). The plagiarism was the most common reason for retraction (31%), followed by repetitive publication (26%), and errors in data/manuscript (24%). In less than 2% of cases, the retracted articles appear as retracted in the text or reference list, while the negative citation is observed in 4.84% among manuscripts reporting an US diagnostic method and 0.32% among manuscripts reporting a diagnostic method other than US (P-value = 0.0004). No significant differences were observed when post retraction weighted citation index (WCI, no. of citations weighted by citation window) was compared to WCI prior retraction (P-value = 0.5972). In light of the reported results, we enumerated some recommendations that could potentially minimize the referral to retracted studies as valid.

“…For example, one may take into account the length of each borderline paper, as the more voluminous have higher potential to be cited and have some additional advantage (e.g. Xie et al, 2019;Hasan & Breunig, 2021). Among top-10 most cited papers in physics, for instance, now there are three with more than 1500 pages each.…”
