The forty-year journey of Zoological Research: advancing with the times.

Since its establishment in 1980, Zoological Research ( ZR) has walked with many scientists during their academic careers (Yao & Zhang, 2015; Yao et al., 2019). During this joyful holiday season and hopeful new year, we are incredibly pleased to share our wonderful news with all authors, readers, editorial board members, and peer reviewers of ZR. Due to its growing academic influence over the last several years, ZR has attained its highest impact factor to date, reaching 2.638 by the end of 2019 (Q1, 12th/169 SCI journals). Furthermore, its current CiteScore has reached 4.3 (as of December 2020), a nearly 60% increase since 2019. Meanwhile, both the publishing capacity and efficiency of ZR have continued to expand. We are immensely proud of each of our efforts in promoting ZR. Of note, your enduring support and faith have helped drive the sustained growth and advancement of ZR, which continues to evolve as a prominent journal in the zoological field.

CONCLUSION: This study led to the single greatest change of cornea transplant going from Penetrating Keratoplasty to Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty.

Impact factor of major dermatology journals and the increasing influence of dermatology in the house of medicine.

BACKGROUND: Journal impact factor (JIF) is a bibliometric proxy of relative journal importance. Mean dermatology JIF has nearly doubled since 1997. The reasons behind the increase have not been previously explored. OBJECTIVE: To assess factors contributing to rising dermatology JIF. METHODS: This bibliometric study utilized publicly-available citation and JIF data from the Thomson-Reuters InCites Journal Citation Reports "Dermatology and Venereology" category, from 1997-2017. RESULTS: From 1997-2017, aggregate dermatology JIF increased by 70%, associated with a 64% increase in JIF numerator (total journal citations) and a 3% decrease in JIF denominator (total journal articles and reviews). In the four highest-JIF journals (JAAD, JAMA Dermatology/Archives of Dermatology, JID, and BJD), there was an increase in citations coming from non-dermatology specialty journals, including oncology, rheumatology, and multidisciplinary sciences. Journal impact factor was positively correlated with five JIF alternatives. Immediacy Index, a reflection of how fast dermatology journals are cited, increased four-fold (P<0.001). LIMITATIONS: Impact factor numerator/denominator data were not available before 1999. CONCLUSIONS: The nearly two-fold rise in dermatology JIF from 1997-2017 was associated with increased citations, an increasing proportion of which came from non-dermatology journals. This may reflect growing influence of dermatology research within both dermatology and other fields of medicine.

Measuring researchers' potential scholarly impact with structural variations: Four types of researchers in information science (1979-2018).

We propose a method to measure the potential scholarly impact of researchers based on network structural variations they introduced to the underlying author co-citation network of their field. We applied the method to the information science field based on 91,978 papers published between 1979 and 2018 from the Web of Science. We divided the entire period into eight consecutive intervals and measured structural variation change rates (ΔM) of individual authors in corresponding author co-citation networks. Four types of researchers are identified in terms of temporal dynamics of their potential scholarly impact-1) Increasing, 2) Decreasing, 3) Sustained, and 4) Transient. The study contributes to the understanding of how researchers' scholarly impact might evolve in a broad context of the corresponding research community. Specifically, this study illustrated a crucial role played by structural variation metrics in measuring and explaining the potential scholarly impact of a researcher. This method based on the structural variation analysis offers a theoretical framework and a practical platform to analyze the potential scholarly impact of researchers and their specific contributions.

Twenty-six years anniversary (1992-2018) of Food Research International: An overview of research trends.

Food Research International, the peer-reviewed international journal launched in 1992, celebrated its 26 years anniversary in 2018. Therefore, we presented an overview on the trending profile of Food Research International and its scientific achievements from 1992 to 2018 by identifying its trends in impact factor, h-index, journal rank, most cited articles, institutes, and countries. The data were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus®. Several scientific achievements were observed in publications (a total of 6,751), impact factor (0.63-3.57), and citations (a total of 1,78,770) over the 26-year period. The most cited documents were related to the interdisciplinary research within food science and technology and contributed to strengthen the progress of science within the field. In 2007, a systematic review published in Food Research International explored the understanding of microencapsulation and their applications, which captured the scientific attention on microencapsulation in global research community. The journal published in vitro antioxidant assays that highly contributed to the process and analytical applications in food processing industries. Food Research International reported a good citing (cites given) and cited (cites received) relationship with the leading journals within the field. Brazil (301) was the most productive country with the highest contributions to the journal. Overall, these findings highlighted the evolution, quality, and productivity of the journal and provided an opportunity for early-career researchers to conduct more innovative studies in food science and publish in Food Research International.

Historical Roots of Modern Plastic Surgery: A Cited Reference Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Highly cited publications are referred to as citation classics and can signify important contributions to a discipline. Although citation classics in plastic surgery have been identified, none were published before 1960. Citation classics in earlier periods may contain the historical roots or intellectual origins of the field. We set out to identify such scholarly works and analyze their characteristics. METHODS: A novel technique of citation analysis, referred to as reference publication year spectroscopy, was used to analyze the literature. The spectrogram revealed distinct peaks before 1960, which corresponded to 20 citation classics. These 20 references were then analyzed with respect to historical context, topic of interest, anatomical region, originality, and if authors were named for their findings (eponyms). RESULTS: Twenty distinct citation classics (published from 1851 to 1959) were identified, accounting for 430 literature citations. Salmon's "Arteres de la Peau" was the most cited reference, followed by Gillies' "Principles of Plastic Surgery" and Neuber's "Fat Grafting." The theme of angiosomes was highly represented. Most citation classics dealt with reconstruction of acquired defects (37%) and primarily focused on the head and neck regions (45%). Thirty-five percent of clinical studies were noted for their originality, and 5 studies earned their authors' eponymous distinctions. CONCLUSION: The roots of modern plastic surgery began in the late 19th century with early efforts to describe cutaneous vasculature. Historical studies that either establish principles or lead to an advancement in our reconstructive methods have the best chance of achieving classical status.

The top 100: A review of the most cited articles in Surgery. / Los top 100. Revisión de los artículos más citados en cirugía.

INTRODUCTION: We performed a study of the top 100 most cited articles in the five general surgery journals with the highest impact according to Journal Citation Report. METHODS: We selected the five journals with the highest impact in 2015: Annals of Surgery, British Journal of Surgery, JAMA Surgery, Surgery, and Journal of the American College of Surgeons. In January 2017, using the Web of Science application, we performed a search of all articles published by these journals and identified the 100 most cited articles (top 100). We evaluated the number of citations, year of publication, type of article, country and hospital of the article, area of interest and number of authors. RESULTS: The median number of citations per top 100 paper was 490. Twenty percent of the top 100 papers have been published since 2000. Overall, 70% are original papers, 8% randomized control trials, 11% reviews, 1% meta-analyses and 11% other subtypes. There are 13% proceedings papers. Sixty-one percent are from the US. The most frequently discussed topic is hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery (33%). CONCLUSIONS: The top 100 most cited articles tend to be original articles describing studies carried out in the US, reporting significant surgical breakthroughs. Hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery is the most common subject area. Annals of Surgery had twice as many citations as the other journals studied. The archetypal article of the Top15 most cited is an original paper published in the twentieth century, with an average of 2000 citations.
