Abstract

Background

The general practice of journal editors publishing original articles in their own journals has been examined in several reviews. No such study has been reported for plastic surgery journals. This study analyzes editorial publication practice in plastic surgery journals over an 8-year period.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of twelve PubMed indexed journals, including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS), Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open (PRS-GO), Annals of Plastic Surgery, Aesthetic Surgery Journal, Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery (JPRAS), Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive, & Aesthetic Surgery Open (JPRAS-Open), The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, Archives of Plastic Surgery, the Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery, Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, Microsurgery, and Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery. We reviewed all articles between 2014 and 2021 to identify articles published by the journal's editor. Editorials and articles appearing in supplements were excluded from this analysis.

Results

The proportion of editor authorship ranged from 0% to 5.88%. We found that editors of PRS and Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery had a significantly greater authorship proportion than the other journals reviewed.

Conclusion

This study found that almost all the studied journals had original articles published by their respective editors. Two journals: PRS and the Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery had higher rates of editor article publication compared to the other journals.

在整形外科杂志上发表社论

期刊编辑在自己的期刊上发表原创文章的普遍做法已经在几篇综述中进行了研究。在整形外科杂志上还没有这样的研究报道。本研究分析了整形外科期刊8年来的编辑出版实践。方法回顾性分析PubMed检索的12种期刊，包括《Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery》（PRS）、《Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open》（PRS- go）、《Annals of Plastic Surgery》、《Aesthetic Surgery Journal》、《Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive &》；美容外科（JPRAS）， Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive, &；《美容外科开放》、《颅面外科杂志》、《整形外科档案》、《整形外科和手外科杂志》、《印度整形外科杂志》、《显微外科》和《重建显微外科杂志》。我们审查了2014年至2021年之间的所有文章，以确定该期刊编辑发表的文章。增刊中的社论和文章被排除在本分析之外。结果编辑原作者比例为0% ~ 5.88%。我们发现PRS和Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery的编辑拥有显著高于其他期刊的作者比例。本研究发现，几乎所有被研究的期刊都有各自编辑发表的原创文章。与其他期刊相比，PRS和Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery这两个期刊的编辑文章发表率更高。
