“…This brings up the hypothesis that citations are not a sole indicator for quality [ 61 ]. The older an article is the longer it can gather citations, which could question the significance of older articles in the current literature [ 62 ]. The status on basic research and risk factors in the field of fragility fractures is not represented in this study due to the focus on clinical management in the selection process.…”

Background and Objectives: The population is aging and fragility fractures are a research topic of steadily growing importance. Therefore, a systematic bibliometric review was performed to identify the 50 most cited articles in the field of fragility fractures analyzing their qualities and characteristics. Materials and Methods: From the Core Collection database in the Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge, the most influential original articles with reference to fragility fractures were identified in February 2021 using a multistep approach. Year of publication, total number of citations, average number of citations per year since year of publication, affiliation of first and senior author, geographic origin of study population, keywords, and level of evidence were of interest. Results: Articles were published in 26 different journals between 1997 and 2020. The number of total citations per article ranged from 12 to 129 citations. In the majority of publications, orthopedic surgeons and traumatologists (66%) accounted for the first authorship, articles mostly originated from Europe (58%) and the keyword mostly used was “hip fracture”. In total, 38% of the articles were therapeutic studies level III followed by prognostic studies level I. Only two therapeutic studies with level I could be identified. Conclusions: This bibliometric review shows the growing interest in fragility fractures and raises awareness that more high quality and interdisciplinary studies are needed.

“…Overall, 10 countries contributed to the 100 articles, and the most productive country was the United States, which was consistent to other bibliometric studies in the field of spine surgery. 33,34 The reasons for this could be closely related to the country's investment in scientific research and the efforts of researchers. In contrast, Asian countries make a relatively small contribution to the 100 most-cited articles, which indicated that there is still a large gap of scientific studies between Asian countries and Western developed countries.…”

Study Design: A bibliometric review of the literature. Objective: Our objective was to identify and analyze the 100 most-cited publications in the field of endoscopic spine surgery (ESS). Methods: In order to determine the top cited 100 articles, a 3-step approach was employed. First, the 100 most-cited ESS studies were identified using the key phrase “endoscopic spine surgery.” Then, 8 keywords were identified from the 100 studies of step 1 were used to conduct a second round searching in all databases of the Web of Science. Finally, when the results of the first and second steps were overlapped, duplicated studies were removed. The 100 top-cited articles were used for further analysis. Results: The citation number of the top 100 most-cited articles ranged from 44 to 236 with a mean value of 84.4. The most productive periods were from 2001 to 2010. The majority of publications came from Spine and Neurosurgery, where Spine holds the largest number of 35 articles, followed by Neurosurgery with 13 articles. Overall, 10 countries contributed to the 100 articles, with the most productive country being the United States, followed by Germany and Korea. Conclusion: This bibliometric study is meant to produce a list of intellectual milestones in the field of ESS. This article’s identification of the most influential articles in the field of ESS gives us a unique and comprehensive insight into the development of ESS in the past several decades.

“…The CNS-TB research landscape has expanded rapidly over the years [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] . While analyses of publications related to spinal tuberculosis [9] , [10] , [12] , infectious meningitis [13] , and bacterial CNS infections in south-east asia [11] have been reported, a comprehensive map detailing the current intellectual and social structure of CNS-TB does not currently exist. Such a map would significantly benefit the field by identifying key research constituents, collaboration patterns, and geographical discrepancies.…”
