目标：目前出版了400多份报告指南，但作者使用这些指南准确、透明地报告研究的频率尚不清楚。本研究考察了报告指南的引用数量和影响其引用影响的特征。研究设计与设置：检索Web of Science数据库，查询所有最低引用年限为5年的报告指南的引用计数。建立总被引影响、平均被引影响以及影响2年和5年被引率的因素。结果：检索到1995 - 2013年的296篇报告指南。年平均引用次数为32.4次（95%置信区间为22.3-42.4次）。与报告指南2年和5年引用绩效相关的因素包括：报告指南的开放获取、出版期刊的领域（普通与专业医学期刊）、出版期刊的影响因子、同时在多个期刊上发表、男性第一作者。结论：各报告指南的被引率随期刊影响因子、开放获取出版物、出版期刊领域、同时发表出版物和男性第一作者而变化。引文中的差距突出了提高可见性和鼓励作者使用报告指南的机会。(c) 2020 Elsevier Inc.版权所有。
Objectives: Over 400 reporting guidelines are currently published, but the frequency of their use by authors to accurately and transparently report research remains unclear. This study examined citation counts of reporting guidelines and characteristics contributing to their citation impact.Study Design and Setting: Web of Science database was searched for citation counts of all reporting guidelines with a minimum citation age of 5 years. The total citation impact, mean citation impact and the factors contributing to 2and 5-year citation rate were established.Results: The search identified 296 articles of reporting guidelines from 1995 to 2013. The mean citations per year was 32.4 (95% confidence interval, 22.3-42.4 citations). The factors associated with 2and 5-year citation performance of reporting guidelines included the following: open access to the reporting guideline, field of the publishing journal (general vs. specialized medical journal), impact factor of the publishing journal, simultaneous publication in multiple journals, and a male first author.Conclusion: The citation rate across reporting guidelines varied with journal impact factor, open access publication, field of the publishing journal, simultaneous publications, and a male first author. Gaps in citations highlight opportunities to increase visibility and encourage author use of reporting guidelines. (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
