Abstract

Aim

In the present study, we aimed to identify and analyze the characteristics of highly cited articles in dentistry.

Methods

All articles belonging to Web of Science category of “dentistry, oral surgery and medicine” published until 2016 were analyzed. The bibliometric data of the highly cited articles were evaluated. The Y-index was applied to assess authors’ publication potential. Altmetric scores were recorded from Dimensions, a free online database.

Results

There were 3666 highly cited dentistry articles published in dental journals. Half of them were published in seven leading journals in their specialties. The major contributing countries were the USA, Sweden, the UK, and Switzerland. The highly cited articles were written by 3.7 authors on average. Jan Lindhe had the largest number of highly cited articles, whereas David H. Pashley had the highest potential to publish highly cited articles in dentistry.

Conclusions

Highly cited articles were distributed among various dental specialties, and the most productive periods were the late 1990s and the early 2000s. The Y-index gave dimensional details of the prolific authors. The current analysis was based on data extracted from Web of Science. Results could be different if data were extracted from other databases, such as Google Scholar.

高被引牙科文章及其作者:发表和被引特征的评价。

目的在本研究中，我们旨在识别和分析牙科高引用文章的特征。方法对2016年之前发表的所有属于科学网“牙科、口腔外科和医学”类别的文章进行分析。对高引用文章的文献计量学数据进行了评价。Y指数用于评估作者的出版潜力。Altmetric分数是从Dimensions（一个免费的在线数据库）中记录的。结果在牙科期刊上发表了3666篇被高度引用的牙科文章。其中一半发表在各自专业的七家领先期刊上。主要捐助国是美国、瑞典、英国和瑞士。被高度引用的文章平均由3.7位作者撰写。Jan Lindhe的高引用文章数量最多，而David H.Pashley在牙科领域发表高引用文章的潜力最大。结论被大量引用的文章分布在各个牙科专业中，最有成效的时期是20世纪90年代末和21世纪初。Y索引提供了多产作者的维度细节。目前的分析是基于从网络科学中提取的数据。如果从其他数据库（如谷歌学者）中提取数据，结果可能会有所不同。

期刊介绍： Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry (JICD) aims to publish quality, peer reviewed original research and topical reviews on all aspects of investigative and clinical dentistry and craniofacial research, including molecular studies related to oral health and disease. Although international in outlook, the Editor especially encourages papers from the Asia Pacific. The journal also aims to provide clinicians, scientists and students of dentistry with a knowledge transfer platform for rapid publication of reports through an international journal, which will be available free online until 2012. Its scope, therefore, is broad, inclusive and international, but with a particular focus on Asia Pacific. The Editor welcomes manuscripts in the following key thematic areas in oral and maxillofacial sciences: Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, Conservative Dentistry, Dental Biomaterials, Dental Pedagogy, Endodontics and Traumatology, Implant Dentistry, Oral Biosciences, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Microbiology, Orthodontics, Oral Radiology, Oral Rehabilitation, Paedodontics, Periodontology and Periodontal Medicine.
