Abstract
Background: Bibliometric analyses are a proficient method for understanding the dynamics of publications. Unstable thoracolumbar injuries are a prevalent topic in neurosurgery and orthopedic research.
Methodology: Web of Science was searched for the 100 most-cited articles on unstable thoracolumbar injuries. A number of citations, article title, first author's name, year and journal of publication and its impact factor (IF), specialty, affiliation, country of the first author, and type of the article were retrieved.
Results: The articles were published in 32 different journals from 1977 to 2020. Spine (38 articles in the top 100 and 3694 citations) was the journal with the greatest number of articles and citations, and the highest number of primary research papers (31 articles, accounting for 2915 citations). The United States was the country with the most articles (45) and citations (4541). The University of California (5 articles, 6 primary research, and 781 citations) was the institution with the highest number of citations, articles, and primary research articles. Orthopedic was the specialty with the most significant number of publications and the most cited (77 articles and 7197 citations). The first author with the greatest number of publications and primary research articles was R. F. McLain (4 articles, being 3 primary research, and 646 citations), while the most cited was A. R. Vaccaro (3 articles and 695 citations). Eighty publications were primary and 20 were secondary research.
Conclusions: The unstable thoracolumbar research field is prominent in North America and has been more frequently published in orthopedic journals, after 1995.
背景:文献计量学分析是了解出版物动态的一种熟练方法。不稳定胸腰椎损伤是神经外科和骨科研究的热门话题。方法:在Web of Science检索了100篇被引用最多的关于不稳定胸腰椎损伤的文章。检索到一些引文、文章标题、第一作者姓名、出版年份和期刊及其影响因子(IF)、专业、所属单位、第一作者所在国家和文章类型。结果:1977 ~ 2020年在32种不同期刊上发表论文。《脊柱》(38篇论文进入前100强,3694次被引)是论文数量和被引次数最多的期刊,主要研究论文数量最多(31篇,2915次被引)。美国是发表文章最多(45篇)和被引用次数最多(4541次)的国家。加州大学(5篇论文,6篇主要研究和781次引用)是引用、论文和主要研究论文数量最多的机构。骨科是发表论文数量最多、被引次数最多的专业(77篇、7197次)。发表论文和主要研究论文数量最多的第一作者是R. F. McLain(4篇文章,3篇主要研究,646次引用),而被引用次数最多的是A. R. Vaccaro(3篇文章,695次引用)。80份出版物为初级研究,20份为二级研究。结论:1995年以后,不稳定胸腰椎在北美的研究领域较为突出,在骨科期刊上的发表频率较高。
