“…However, a significant number of essentially surgical articles was published by Clinics, which may reflect adequate dynamics of the flow of articles and the progressive increase of the factor of impact and internationalization of this publication, which could thus compete with journals specialized in Orthopedics and Traumatology. As regards the research design, we can find a balance among several designs with an expressive number of intervention studies, with clinical trials corresponding to more than 25% of the whole in an apparent progression in relation to previous studies 40,41 What draws our attention in the current period is the absence of case reports, which demonstrates qualitative progression in both publications. As a conclusion we can observe that the number of publications on studies of the musculoskeletal system exhibits progressive presence in general journals, which continues to show the existence of room for growth for specialized publications.…”
