Abstract
Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of the Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society (JIPS) toward enhancing global prosthodontic research visibility through a comprehensive evaluation of publication trends, citation dynamics, thematic distribution, and international authorship patterns over 21 years. A cross-sectional study was undertaken evaluating all articles published in JIPS from January 2005 to December 2025. Data were retrieved from the journal's official archives. The key variables assessed included annual publication volume, study design, thematic domains, citation metrics, geographic distribution of authorship, and journal impact indicators. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and temporal trend evaluation. A total of 1238 articles were published during the study period. Original articles accounted for the largest number of publications (54.4%), followed by case reports/series (22%) and review articles (15%). The early publication trends (2005-2015) were focused on research related to complete denture and fixed partial denture, whereas the recent research (2016-2025) showed a substantial inclination toward implantology, digital prosthodontics, and biomaterial innovations. International authorship contributions increased progressively over the study period, particularly from America, Asia, Africa, and some European countries, reflecting the journal's expanding global reach. Citation performance improved substantially following key indexations in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The journal demonstrated a steady growth in the impact metrics, including impact factor, SCImago Journal Rank, and quartile rankings. National specialty journals like JIPS play a pivotal role in enhancing global research visibility by promoting region-specific research dissemination, improving accessibility through indexations, and aligning with contemporary and emerging scientific advancements in prosthodontics.
摘要：本研究旨在通过对21年来出版趋势、引文动态、专题分布和国际作者模式的综合评估，评估《印度修复学会杂志》（jps）在提高全球修复研究能见度方面的贡献。对2005年1月至2025年12月在JIPS上发表的所有文章进行了一项横断面研究。数据是从该杂志的官方档案中检索的。评估的关键变量包括年度出版物数量、研究设计、主题领域、引用指标、作者地理分布和期刊影响指标。数据分析采用描述性统计和时间趋势评价。研究期间共发表1238篇论文。发表数量最多的是原创文章（54.4%），其次是病例报告/系列（22%）和综述文章（15%）。早期出版趋势（2005-2015）集中在全口义齿和固定局部义齿相关的研究，而最近的研究（2016-2025）显示出种植学，数字修复学和生物材料创新的实质性倾向。在研究期间，国际作者的贡献逐渐增加，特别是来自美洲、亚洲、非洲和一些欧洲国家的作者，反映了该杂志不断扩大的全球影响力。在PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science中进行关键索引后，引文性能得到了显著提高。该期刊在影响指标上表现出稳定的增长，包括影响因子、SCImago期刊排名和四分位数排名。像JIPS这样的国家专业期刊通过促进特定区域的研究传播，通过索引提高可及性，并与当代和新兴的修复学科学进展保持一致，在提高全球研究知名度方面发挥着关键作用。
