“…Bibliometric analysis of the total number of orthopaedic articles over the last 10 years has consistently shown that the USA, UK, Germany, Japan and Korea have ranked amongst the countries with the highest publications . Country specific bibliometric analysis of orthopaedic publication rates have only been performed by Ireland and Turkey . These authors focused on the institution, individual authors, and distribution of these publications among journals.…”

The results of this study demonstrate that the minority (23%) of the publications originating from Australia in the 15 highest-ranking orthopaedic journals were principally authored by either an Australian trained surgeon or a trainee surgeon. A total of 59% of the publications focused on the hip and knee. Sydney was the leading region, followed by Adelaide and Melbourne. These three regions published 76% of all manuscripts identified during the 5-year study period.

“…Although the benefits of OA publishing have been suggested in relation to providing orthopaedic information and research within low-income countries [11], concerns and perceptions about its effect on the quality of research have yet to be explored. In light of a number of orthopaedic publications that have examined and reported on research quality as well as bibliometrics [12][13][14], it is surprising that such an intense debate within the medical research community [15] has yet to result in an evaluation of OA publishing in orthopaedics.…”

Background Open access (OA) publications have changed the paradigm of dissemination of scientific research. Their benefits to low-income countries underline their value; however, critics question exorbitant publication fees as well as their effect on the peer review process and research quality. Purpose This study reports on the prevalence of OA publishing in orthopaedic research and compares benchmark citation indices as well as evidence quality derived from OA journals with conventional subscription based orthopaedic journals. Methods All 63 orthopaedic journals listed in ISI's Web of Knowledge Journal Citation Report (JCR) were examined. Bibliometric data attributed to each journal for the year 2012 was acquired from the JCR. Studies that fulfilled the criteria of level I evidence were identified for each journal within PubMed. Individual journal websites were reviewed to identify their open access policy. A total of 38 (60.3 %) journals did not offer any form of OA publishing; however, 20 (31.7 %) hybrid journals were identified which offered authors the choice to publish their work as OA if a publication fee was paid. Only five (8 %) journals published all their articles as OA. There was variability amongst the different publication fees for OA articles. Journals that published OA articles did not differ from subscription based journals on the basis of 2012 impact factor, citation number, self citation proportion or the volume of level I evidence published (p>0.05).Conclusions OA journals are present in orthopaedic research, though in small numbers. Over a third of orthopaedic journals catalogued in the ISI Web of Knowledge JCR® are hybrid journals that provide authors with the opportunity to publish their articles as OA after a publication fee is paid. This study suggests equivalent importance and quality of articles between OA and subscription based orthopaedic journals based on bibliometric data and the volume of level I evidence produced. Orthopaedic researchers must recognize the potential benefits of OA publishing and its emerging presence within the field. Further examination and consensus is required in orthopaedic research to generate an OA system that is robustly regulated and maintains research quality.

“…[9][10][11] Only Ireland and Turkey have specifically investigated their country's individual contribution to orthopaedic literature with a focus on the institution, individual authors and distribution of publications among journals. 12,13 However, the total number of publications may not account for economic discrepancies and population size. 11 In addition, the availability of funding would certainly result in higher publication output by countries with a larger population size and more powerful economies in particular when considering the economic realities of low income and developing countries.…”

IntroductionResearch is a major component of innovation and can contribute to health improvements through a knowledge-toaction-process. 1 In general, the total number of publications by a country is one of the indicators of research output and productivity and is an important aspect of clinical excellence.2-4 While the developing world contains more than 75%of the world's population and has the largest burden of musculoskeletal disease, less than 10% of publications originate from these countries. 1 Aluede et al. investigated the representation of developing countries in four high impact orthopaedic journals over a three-year period, and determined that less than 0.4% of all articles (n=15) were published by authors from Sub-Saharan Africa, with only six publications originating from South Africa. 5 Abstract Background:The purpose of this study was to investigate the number of publications and impact of South African surgeons in the 15 highest impact orthopaedic journals over a five-year period
