“…The 100 most cited articles on oral cancer were published in scientific journals with a high IF, and the majority of which were in the first quartile for their category. Thus, a significant number of studies were concentrated in a limited nucleus of journals, as has been observed in other bibliometric reviews; this phenomenon is known as Bradford's law . Authors are attracted to journals with a higher IF, as studies published in such journals will presumably receive a larger number of citations, thus maintaining the IF of the journals.…”

“…The time factor has a clear influence on citation analysis. Recently published articles are at a disadvantage and could be underrated with regard to their scientific impact as they have had less time to accumulate citations . In contrast, the oldest articles may have a high number of citations independently of their current impact…”

“…Citation analysis is not a perfect measure of the impact of an article in its field, as numerous factors influence the number of times a study is cited, including research quality, importance of the subject matter and the capacity to generate change or stimulate future research. Although the citation index is not a direct measure of quality or importance, it does enable us to quantitatively evaluate the scientific impact of a publication.…”

“…It not only allows the evaluation of research performance, but also helps investigators refine their research blueprint based on the research trends and overall landscape of the research field (Brinjikji et al, 2013; Yeung et al, 2017a). There are already numerous reports that identified the 100 most cited articles, also known as citation classics, in various fields such as imaging (Brinjikji et al, 2013), radiology (Yoon et al, 2013; Pagni et al, 2014), neuroimaging (Kim et al, 2016), neurosurgery (Ponce and Lozano, 2010), and neurosciences (Yeung et al, 2017a). Analyses based on citation counts are primarily supported by an earlier notion that citation counts could be correlated to peer judgments (Bayer and Folger, 1966; Garfield, 1970), which are in turn commonly accepted as a way to rank scientific performance (Garfield, 1979).…”

Background: The insula is one of the most researched brain regions with many highly cited papers. However, unlike the literature of other fields, there is currently no study that has identified the 100 most cited papers within the literature of the insula. The aim of the current study was to fill in the knowledge gap by determining which publications concerning the insula have been cited most often, who contributed to them, and what topics they were dealing with.Methods: The Web of Science online database was searched to identify the 100 most cited publications mentioning the insular cortex in their titles, abstracts or keywords. To systematically exclude irrelevant publications, the search strategy was finalized as: TS = (insula OR insular OR “island of Reil”) NOT TS = (“insular biogeography” OR “insular mammal*” OR “*insular lymphatic*”) NOT WC = (“Geochemistry and Geophysics” OR “Ecology”). The identified publications were sorted in descending order of citation count. The 100 most cited publications concerning the insula of the brain were identified and their bibliometric data was extracted and assessed. The VOSviewer software was used with default parameters to generate a bubble map that analyzes and visualizes the words/phrases used in the titles and abstracts of the publications.Results: There were 67 articles on experiments/lab studies and 33 meta-analyses/reviews but no opinion or methods paper. They had an average of 943.4 citations (or 62.9 citations per year), 93.5 references and 13.4 pages. There were 35 papers published in open access. USA was the major contributing country. The most top-ranked publications were concerning emotion, salience and pain.Conclusion: Two-thirds of the publications concerned the normal brain function/mechanism (n = 67), whereas 20 publications concerned disease/therapeutic intervention and another 13 concerned normal anatomy. For the 67 original articles, 57 used human subjects whereas 10 used animal models. MRI was the commonest modality (n = 37), followed by PET (n = 16). Nine articles investigated by histology, two by multiple modalities and three by other modality.

“…Several journals dedicated to neuroradiology exist; however, neuroradiologic articles are also included in general radiology journals and in radiology subspecialty journals such as those dedicated to pediatric radiology. While there is a growing body of bibliometric analyses in the radiology literature, [4][5][6][7] few studies have focused on neuroradiology topics to date. [8][9][10] We hypothesized that the citation characteristics of a journal are heterogeneous among journal subsections and varying topics.…”
