Abstract

This study examined the hypothesis that the network of citation in biomechanics journals would change over the last decade and specifically the centrality of the journal Sports Biomechanics. Top 20 cited biomechanics journals identified using the 'Journal Citation Relationships' feature from Journal Citation Reports were extracted for 12 'seed' biomechanics journals in 2011, 2016, and 2021. From 2011 till 2021 the total number of top cited biomechanics journals in Journal Citation Reports decreased (17%) from 90 to 74, while the citations to these journals nearly increased 5-fold (8,051 to 39,574). Top Journal Citation Reports cited biomechanics journals changed over time, indicating variability in the centrality of many journals in the biomechanics citation network based on this prestigious database. Over time there were decreasing citation of medical journals, as well as increasing citation of open access mega journals and the journal Sports Biomechanics. Citation network analysis provides insight into the changing structure of knowledge creation in biomechanics, with recent trends towards applied research particularly on wearable sensors published in mega journals.

生物力学引文网络中的质心变化。

本研究探讨了生物力学期刊引文网络在过去十年中会发生变化的假设，特别是《运动生物力学》期刊的中心地位。利用《期刊引证报告》中的 "期刊引证关系 "功能，提取了 12 种 "种子 "生物力学期刊在 2011 年、2016 年和 2021 年的前 20 种被引生物力学期刊。从 2011 年到 2021 年，《期刊引文报告》中被引用次数最高的生物力学期刊总数从 90 种减少到 74 种（17%），而这些期刊的被引用次数却增加了近 5 倍（从 8,051 次增加到 39,574 次）。期刊引文报告》中被引用次数最多的生物力学期刊随着时间的推移而变化，这表明基于这一著名数据库的生物力学引文网络中许多期刊的中心地位存在变化。随着时间的推移，医学期刊的引用率在下降，而开放存取的大型期刊和《运动生物力学》期刊的引用率却在上升。通过引文网络分析，我们可以深入了解生物力学知识创造结构的变化，以及最近在大型期刊上发表的应用研究，特别是有关可穿戴传感器的应用研究的趋势。

期刊介绍： Sports Biomechanics is the Thomson Reuters listed scientific journal of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS). The journal sets out to generate knowledge to improve human performance and reduce the incidence of injury, and to communicate this knowledge to scientists, coaches, clinicians, teachers, and participants. The target performance realms include not only the conventional areas of sports and exercise, but also fundamental motor skills and other highly specialized human movements such as dance (both sport and artistic). Sports Biomechanics is unique in its emphasis on a broad biomechanical spectrum of human performance including, but not limited to, technique, skill acquisition, training, strength and conditioning, exercise, coaching, teaching, equipment, modeling and simulation, measurement, and injury prevention and rehabilitation. As well as maintaining scientific rigour, there is a strong editorial emphasis on ''reader friendliness''. By emphasising the practical implications and applications of research, the journal seeks to benefit practitioners directly. Sports Biomechanics publishes papers in four sections: Original Research, Reviews, Teaching, and Methods and Theoretical Perspectives.
