摘要

目的:引文偏斜是指期刊中文章引文分布不均的一种现象。本研究旨在确定耳鼻咽喉头颈外科(OHNS)期刊是否存在引文偏斜现象,并阐明期刊影响因子(JIF)是否是单篇文章引用率的准确指标:方法:使用《期刊引文报告》确定 OHNS 领域的期刊。在提取 2018 年和 2019 年发表的所有主要研究文章和综述文章在 2020 年的引用次数后,进行了详细的引用分析,以确定引用分布情况。本研究的主要成果是确定OHNS文献中是否存在引文倾斜,以及JIF是否能准确预测单篇文章的引文率:结果:确定了 31 种 OHNS 期刊。在 OHNS 文献中普遍存在引用偏差,65% 的出版物的引用率低于 JIF。此外,48%的出版物获得了零或一次引用。综述文章的平均引用次数和中位数分别为 3.66 次和 2 次,高于初级研究文章的平均引用次数和中位数(分别为 1 次和 2.35 次)(P < .001)。引用率与 JIF 之间存在统计学意义上的相关性(r = 0.394,P = 0.028):目前的研究结果表明,OHNS 期刊的引用率偏低,这与其他外科亚专科的研究结果一致。大多数出版物的引用率没有达到 JIF 的水平。因此,JIF 不应用来衡量单篇文章的质量。耳鼻喉科医生应通过使用其他指标来评估研究质量,如评估合理的科学方法和文章的相关性。

Does the journal impact factor predict individual article citation rate in otolaryngology journals?

ObjectiveCitation skew is a phenomenon that refers to the unequal citation distribution of articles in a journal. The objective of this study was to establish whether citation skew exists in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS) journals and to elucidate whether journal impact factor (JIF) was an accurate indicator of citation rate of individual articles.MethodsJournals in the field of OHNS were identified using Journal Citation Reports. After extraction of the number of citations in 2020 for all primary research articles and review articles published in 2018 and 2019, a detailed citation analysis was performed to determine citation distribution. The main outcome of this study was to establish whether citation skew exists within OHNS literature and whether JIF was an accurate prediction of individual article citation rate.ResultsThirty-one OHNS journals were identified. Citation skew was prevalent across OHNS literature with 65% of publications achieving citation rates below the JIF. Furthermore, 48% of publications gathered either zero or one citation. The mean and median citations for review articles, 3.66 and 2, respectively, were higher than the mean and median number of citations for primary research articles, 1 and 2.35, respectively (P < .001). A statistically significant correlation was found between citation rate and JIF (r = 0.394, P = 0.028).ConclusionsThe current results demonstrate a citation skew among OHNS journals, which is in keeping with findings from other surgical subspecialties. The majority of publications did not achieve citation rates equal to the JIF. Thus, the JIF should not be used to measure the quality of individual articles. Otolaryngologists should assess the quality of research through the use of other metrics, such as the evaluation of sound scientific methodology, and the relevance of the articles.

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
