“…It has widely been used to trace the scientific outputs in different fields, such as microbiome-gut-brain axis (MGBA) field ( 9 ), osteoarthritis ( 10 ), aflatoxin ( 9 ), oncolytic virus ( 11 ), and chronic hepatitis B treatment-related research ( 12 ), the zika ( 13 ), respiratory syncytial virus ( 14 ), the West Nile virus ( 15 ), and methanol poisoning ( 16 ). Chu et al did a bibliometrics study to identify the 100 most cited papers in head and neck cancer ( 17 ). The global research trends in the West Nile virus ( 15 ) and methanol poisoning ( 16 ) were studied using bibliometrics methods.…”

“…The citation number does not necessarily signify the scientific worth of a publication; however, it does reflect its influence on the progress of the given clinical/research discipline and quantity of the researchers affiliated with that specific specialty. Hence, publications regarding stem cells (927-14,575) [ 72 ], cardiology (331-3484) [ 73 ], head and neck oncology (628-3205) [ 74 ], and respirology (615-2918) [ 75 ] are more often cited than publications within dentistry (326-2050) [ 44 ], despite all these areas having equal scientific significance.…”

Background. Many articles on bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been published. Bibliometric analysis is helpful to determine the most influential studies in a specific field. This bibliometric analysis is aimed at identifying and analyzing the top 50 most-cited articles on the dental applications of BMPs. Methods. An electronic search was conducted using the Web of Science (WoS) “All Databases” without any restriction of language, study design, or publication year. Of 1341 publications, the top 50 were included based on their citation count. After downloading the full texts, their bibliometric data including publication title, authorship, citation count, current citation index 2019, citation density, year of publication, country and institution of origin, journal of publication, type of BMP, study design, evidence level of publication, and keywords were extracted and analyzed. Results. The citation counts for the top 50 publications ranged from 81 to 557 (median 113.5). The most prolific year was 1997 ( n = 7 ). Wikesjö UM ( n = 12 ) and Wozney JM ( n = 11 ) were the major contributors in this study. Most of the articles were generated primarily from the USA ( n = 24 ), with Loma Linda University Medical Center, USA being the most prolific institution ( n = 5 ). Majority of the articles were published in the Clinical Oral Implants Research and Journal of Periodontology, with nine publications each. Most of the publications were animal studies ( n = 30 ) and focused on BMP-2 ( n = 39 ). Most of the articles were within evidence level V ( n = 36 ). The most frequently used keyword in the top articles was “bone regeneration” ( n = 23 ). Conclusion. The present study presents insights into the past and recent trends in the applications of BMPs in dentistry. A statistically significant association was observed between citation count, citation density, and age of publication.

“…This prospective approach is frequently used, for example, to determine the most "successful" articles and authors in the various medical fields. Annually, various articles about "The 100 most cited manuscripts/articles" in specific medical field are published [77][78][79][80]. The data for these analyses can be easily obtained via bibliometric databases, such as Web of Science and Medline (PubMed), making this approach a quick and easy way to identify publications that are highly perceived by the scientific community.…”

Background The German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) initiated large research programs to foster high quality clinical research in the academic area. These investigator initiated trials (IITs) cover important areas of medical research and often go beyond the scope of industry sponsored trials (ISTs). The purpose of this project was to understand to what extent results of randomized controlled IITs and ISTs have an impact on medical practice, measured by their availability for decisions in healthcare and their implementation in clinical practice. We aimed to determine study characteristics influencing a trial’s impact such as type of sponsor and place of conduct. In this article, we describe the rationale and design of this project and present the characteristics of the trials included in our study cohort. Methods The research impact of the following sub-cohorts was compared: German IITs (funded by DFG and BMBF or by other German non-commercial organizations), international IITs (without German contribution), German ISTs, and international ISTs. Trials included were drawn from the DFG−/BMBF-Websites, the German Clinical Trials Register, and from ClinicalTrials.gov. Research impact was measured as follows: 1) proportion of published trials, 2) time to publication, 3) proportion of publications appropriately indexed in biomedical databases, 4) proportion of openly accessible publications, 5) broadness of publication’s target group, 6) citation of publications by systematic reviews or meta-analyses, and 7) appearance of publications or citing systematic reviews or meta-analyses in clinical practice guidelines. We also aimed to identify study characteristics associated with the impact of trials. Results We included 691 trials: 120 German IITs, 200 International IITs, 171 German ISTs and 200 International ISTs. The median number of participants was 150, 30% were international trials and 70% national trials, 48% drug-trials and 52% non-drug trials. Overall, 72% of the trials had one pre-defined primary endpoint, 28% two or more (max. 36). Conclusions The results of this project deepen our understanding of the impact of biomedical research on clinical practice and healthcare policy, add important insights for the efficient allocation of scarce research resources and may facilitate providing accountability to the different stakeholders involved.
