Abstract

Objective: The term ‘citation classics’ is used for highly cited papers in the scientific literature. It was aimed to understand the current landscape of academic surgery and the quality of the scientific contribution of authors belonging to Asia using citation classics. Material and Methods: We searched the WoS core collection database under the category ‘surgery’ to include the 50 most cited articles whose lead author was affiliated to an Asian country during the research period. We noted the following characteristics for each article: total citations, average citations per year, year of publication, publishing journal, institution and country, journal quartile and impact factor, authorship, field of surgical research. Results were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics v26. Results: The number of citations ranged from 447 to 1170 (mean +/- SD is 616.9 +/- 150.16) and citations per year ranged from 10.04 to 98.17 (mean+/- SD is 30.87 +/- 17.27). Most productive decade was 1991-2000 (n= 19 articles). Majority of the articles were published in ‘Annals of Surgery’ (28%). Four authors contributed two or more articles as lead author with ‘Poon RTP’ taking the lead. Japan’s contribution was highest (60%) followed by China and its dependents’ (26%). University of Hong Kong was the leading institution (n= 7). Observational study was the most commonly used design (n=24). Most papers belonged to gastrointestinal surgery (n= 28) and surgical oncology (n= 26). 66% articles originated from a single institution, 22% had inter-institutional collaboration and 12% had national collaboration from countries outside Asia. Conclusion: The study identified the most influential papers in surgery from Asia. This should provoke interest in academic surgery and research collaboration with other nations in Asia and the rest of the world.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: “Alıntı klasikleri” terimi, bilimsel literatürde çok alıntı yapılan makaleler için kullanılmaktadır. Atıf klasiklerini kullanarak akademik cerrahinin mevcut manzarasını ve Asya’ya ait yazarların bilimsel katkılarının kalitesini anlamayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: WoS çekirdek koleksiyon veritabanını “cerrahi” kategorisi altında araştırarak baş yazarı araştırma döneminde bir Asya ülkesine bağlı en çok alıntı yapılan 50 makaleyi dahil ettik. Her makale için şu özellikleri not ettik: toplam alıntılar, yıllık ortalama atıflar, yayın yılı, yayın yapan dergi, kurum ve ülke, dergi çeyreği ve etki faktörü, yazarlık, cerrahi araştırma alanı. Sonuçlar IBM SPSS Statistics v26 kullanılarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: Alıntı sayısı 447 ile 1170 (ortalama +/- SD 616.9 +/- 150.16) ve yıllık atıflar 10.04 ile 98.17 (ortalama +/- SS 30.87 +/- 17.27) arasında değişmiştir. En verimli on yıl 1991-2000 yıllarıydı (n= 19 makale). Makalelerin çoğu “Annals of Surgery”de yayınlandı (%28). Dört yazar, baş yazar olarak iki veya daha fazla makaleye katkıda bulundu ve “Poon RTP” başı çekti. Japonya’nın katkısı en yüksek (%60) oldu ve onu Çin ve bakmakla yükümlü olduğu kişiler (%26) izledi. Hong Kong Üniversitesi lider kurumdu (n= 7). Gözlemsel çalışma en yaygın kullanılan tasarımdı (n= 24). Makalelerin çoğu gastrointestinal cerrahiye (n= 28) ve cerrahi onkolojiye (n= 26) aitti. Makalelerin %66’sı tek bir kurumdan geliyor, %22’si kurumlar arası işbirliğine ve %12’si Asya dışındaki ülkelerden ulusal işbirliğine sahipti. Sonuç: Çalışma, Asya’dan cerrahide en etkili makaleleri belirledi. Bu, akademik cerrahiye ve Asya’daki ve dünyanın geri kalanındaki diğer ülkelerle araştırma işbirliğine olan ilgiyi uyandırmalıdır.
