“…An average impact factor of 1.7, although not meeting the impact of top medical research, is very respectable and is higher than that of the British Dental Journal as a whole. 14,[21][22][23] The fact that SGH-funded research is cited, on average, nearly twice every year after publication suggests that the evidence produced is not only of interest and relevance to general practitioners, but is also worthy of the attention of the dental scientific community as a whole. SGH-funded research raises the scien tific quality of the BDA's journal and at the same time offers evidence which can be utilised at the dentist-patient inter face in primary care.…”

“…We chose the general medical journals (GMJs), paediatric medical journals (PMJs), and specialist medical journals (SMJs) that had the highest impact factors in their category, as a high impact factor is a good predictor of impact in the field of paediatrics and of high study quality. [19] Information on the journals, including impact factors, was obtained from the Institute for Scientific Information's Journal Citation Reports® for 2005 (http://www.isiwebofknowledge.com/). We required an impact factor of 7.0 or higher for GMJs and SMJs.…”

Fewer infants than older patients in paediatric randomised controlled trials

et al. 2010

Financial disclosure or conflict of interest for all authors: NoneWord count: 3428 2/25 ABSTRACT To determine whether the youngest age groups are less likely to be included in paediatric randomised controlled trials (PRCTs) than older children, we conducted a PubMed search using the keyword "randomised controlled trial" and the limit "all child: 0 -18 years". We retrieved 417 articles published in 2006 in 34 leading journals classified as general medical journals, paediatric medical journals, or specialist medical journals. We arbitrarily selected 144 articles, at random. For each study, we evaluated population age characteristics (central tendency, range, and dispersion), study design, sample size and topic. Of the 144 studies, only 82 were first reports of paediatric randomised controlled trials (PRCTs). Among the other studies, many were done in adults. Of the 82 PRCTs, only 11% included newborns and 26% infants; 59% included children and 39% adolescents. Using the same search strategy to retrieve PRCTs in the same journals in the last four months of 2009 retrieved 66 PRCTs, of which 17% included newborns, 24% infants, 61% children and 55% adolescents. The three health conditions most often reported were respiratory diseases, infectious diseases, and mental and behavioural disorders. In 34 leading journals, PRCTs were significantly less likely to include newborns and infants than older paediatric patients. Given the huge impact of PRCTs on paediatric health, additional efforts are needed to promote studies in newborns and infants, as well as studies of the impact of recent European and American regulations designed to encourage paediatric drug trials.

“…Besides, the number of citations directly determines the impact factor of the journals which is generally used in the evaluation of the quality and importance of the journal.

The most prevailing citation database is Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E).…”

Objective: Citation is the name given for a scientific publication in order to be used as a reference by another publication. In this study, we reviewed the most frequently cited publications in urology from Turkey. Although the number of citations is not completely definitive on its own, it shows the importance and effect of the publication. Besides the number of citations directly determines the impact factor of the journals and this factor is generally used in the evaluation of the quality and importance of the journal. Material and methods:On March 7-14, 2016, 51 studies with highest number of citations from Turkey are determined from Science Citation Index Expanded database index and the journals in which studies are published, the authors of the publications, their cities and departments, study types, publication date of the studies and the number of citations are recorded. Results:The most frequently encountered subjects in the publications that are mostly cited from Turkey are urolithiasis (23.5%), infertility (15.6%), benign prostatic hyperplasia (11.7%), sexual dysfunction (11.7%) and bladder carcinoma/urothelial carcinoma (9.8%). Distribution of 51 publications is as follows: 18 case series, 11 randomized study, 7 non-randomized study, 6 study, 3 review, 3 cross-sectional studies and 3 survey studies. Of all the studies, 68.6% are from Ankara, İstanbul and İzmir and 72.5% of them have originated from the university hospitals. Conclusion:It is important to show the most cited Turkish publications in order to show the contribution in the world literature regarding to urology. The most cited publications in Turkey belong to urolithiasis and andrology areas. When the citation analysis publications in urology and different areas both in Turkey and in the world, it is observed that the number of our qualified publications is at acceptable levels.

Association of Journal Quality Indicators With Methodological Quality of Clinical Research Articles

Abstract: High citation rates, impact factors, and circulation rates, and low manuscript acceptance rates and indexing on Brandon/Hill Library List appear to be predictive of higher methodological quality scores for journal articles.
