“…Studies published to date have noted a significant correlation between self-citation rate and IF and that specialist orthopaedic journals had a higher self citation rate than general orthopaedic journals [11,12]. [14]. This study aimed to investigate the trends in IF of orthopaedic journals over time and draw comparisons with other surgical specialties.…”

“…In addition to determining the most frequently cited articles, this analysis is also used to rank journals in terms of impact. Multiple medical fields have used a rank list to determine the impact of articles and journals within its specialty, such as otolaryngology [1,2], emergency medicine [3,4], dermatology [5][6][7], general surgery [8], trauma surgery [9], plastic surgery [10], physical medicine and rehabilitation [11], urology [12], ophthalmology [13], obstetrics and gynecology [14], critical care [15,16], anesthesiology [17], neurosurgery [18], orthopedics [19][20][21], pediatric orthopedics [22], and orthopedic trauma [23]. However, to date, no analysis has been made for those in spine care.…”

Purpose Spine-related research has evolved dramatically during the last century. Significant contributions have been made by thousands of authors. A citation rank list has historically been used within a particular field to measure the importance of an article. The purpose of this article is to report on the 100 most cited articles in the field of spine. Methods Science Citation Index Expanded was searched for citations in 27 different journals (as of 30 November 2010) chosen based on the relevance for all cited spine publications. The top 100 most cited articles were identified. Important information such as journal, date, country of origin, author, subspecialty, and level of evidence (for clinical research) were compiled. Results The top 100 publications ranged from 1,695 to 240 citations. Fifty-three articles were of the lumbar, 17 were of the thoracolumbar, and 15 of the cervical spine. Eighty-one of the articles were clinical and 19 were basic science in nature. Level of evidence varied for the clinical papers, however, was most commonly level IV (34 of 81 articles). Notably, the 1990-1999 decade was the most productive period with 43 of the top 100 articles published during this time.Conclusions Identification of the most cited articles within the field of spine recognizes some of the most important contributions in the peer-reviewed literature. Current investigators may utilize the aspects of their work to guide and direct future spine-related research.

“…There are numerous sources of potential bias in the rankings, some inherent in the system and some not: selfcitation (articles from the same journal), citation density (the number of references listed), quality of citations, poor comparability between different specializations, mainly use of English language in publications, type of manuscripts, ease of access, and journals not listed in the SCI database are major disadvantages of the IF [1,5,14,16,19,20,25,26,31,35,40,43,47,49]. Based on the IF, a citation from an important journal such as Nature is worth no more than a citation from journals in the lowest tiers of publishing [3,45].…”
