Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the academic impact of the American College of Radiology thoracic and cardiac Appropriateness Criteria (ACR-AC) guideline publications through citation analysis.

Methods

The Scopus database was used to collect publication year, version number, and number and identity of citing publications for thoracic and cardiac imaging ACR-AC guideline publications. For each citing article, the journal name and impact factor, publication year, countries of all authors, and language(s) of publication were collected. An article h-index was computed for each ACR-AC guideline.

Results

31 thoracic and cardiac ACR-AC guideline publications received 758 citations from 379 journals, with authors representing 62 countries. The median citation count was 15 (range = 1–97) and the median article h-index was 5 (range = 1–19). The most frequent country of authorship of articles citing an ACR-AC guideline publication was the United States, but 66.7 % of authors were from other countries. The median impact factor for the citing journals was 3.0 (range = 0.0–521.6). A majority of the total citations were from “Non-Radiology Journals” (n = 422/758 [55.7 %]) which comprised a majority of all journals represented (n = 295/379 [77.8 %]).

Conclusions

Citation characteristics of ACR-AC guideline publications suggest broad multidisciplinary and global academic influence.

美国放射学会适宜性标准的学术影响：对胸外科和心脏成像指南的引用分析

目的通过引文分析，评价美国放射学会胸心适宜性标准（ACR-AC）指南出版物的学术影响。方法采用Scopus数据库收集胸、心影像学ACR-AC指南出版物的出版年份、版本号、引用出版物的数量和身份。每篇被引用文章的期刊名称和影响因子、出版年份、所有作者的国家和出版语言均被收集。计算每个ACR-AC指南的文章h指数。结果31篇心胸ACR-AC指南被379种期刊引用758次，作者来自62个国家。引用数中位数为15（范围为1 ~ 97），h-index中位数为5（范围为1 ~ 19）。引用ACR-AC指南出版物的文章作者最多的国家是美国，但66.7%的作者来自其他国家。被引期刊的影响因子中位数为3.0（范围为0.0 ~ 521.6）。大部分引用来自“非放射学期刊”（n = 422/758[55.7%]），占所有期刊的大多数（n = 295/379[77.8%]）。结论ACR-AC指南出版物的引用特点表明其具有广泛的多学科和全球学术影响力。
