背景在中国，骨科领域在过去的12年里经历了显著的增长。然而，中国大陆、香港和台湾的骨科研究现状尚不清楚。在这项研究中，我们调查的特点和趋势，骨科出版物从这三个regions.MethodsBetween 2003年和2014年，所有的文章发表在63骨科期刊来源于中国大陆，香港和台湾，通过科学引文索引扩展（SCIE）数据库确定。根据文章数量、研究设计、影响因子（IF）、引文、最多产作者和机构，对来自三个地区的已发表骨科文章进行了系统分析。此外，我们评估了骨科出版物的全球趋势，并排名前10位的国家在12年内发表的文章总数和每年发表的文章数量。ResultsA总数为123，317篇文章发表在63骨科期刊2003年和2014年之间。在研究期间，全球每年发表的骨科文章数量呈增加趋势。从2003年到2014年，三个地区的骨科出版物总数，特别是中国大陆的骨科出版物数量显著增加。来自中国大陆的骨科论文年数量从2003年的6篇增加到2014年的813篇，香港从2003年的32篇增加到2014年的71篇，台湾从2003年的68篇增加到2014年的168篇。在累积IF和总引用文献方面，中国大陆排名第一，其次是台湾和香港。然而，来自台湾的出版物每篇文章的平均引用次数最高，来自香港的出版物的平均IF最高。在前10位最多产的作者和机构中，4位作者和4个机构来自台湾，3位作者和4个机构来自中国大陆，3位作者和2个机构来自香港。考虑到人口的相对规模，应该强调的是，中国大陆要达到香港和台湾的学术表现还有很长的路要走。
BackgroundIn China, the field of orthopedics has experienced significant growth over the past 12 years. However, the recent status of research on orthopedics among individuals in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan is unknown. In this study, we investigated characteristics and trends of orthopedics publications from these three regions.MethodsBetween 2003 and 2014, all articles published in 63 orthopedics journals originating from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan were identified via Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) database. A survey was conducted to systematically analyze the published orthopedics articles from the three regions according to the numbers of articles, study design, impact factors (IFs), citations, most prolific authors, and institutions. Additionally, we evaluated global trends in orthopedics publications, and ranked top 10 countries in terms of the total number of published articles over 12 years and the number of published articles per year.ResultsA total number of 123,317 articles were published in the 63 orthopedics journals between 2003 and 2014. The worldwide number of annually published orthopedics articles tended to increase during the study period. The total number of orthopedics publications from the three regions, especially in mainland China, increased markedly from 2003 to 2014. The annual number of orthopedics articles from mainland China increased from 6 in 2003 to 813 in 2014, Hong Kong increased from 32 in 2003 to 71 in 2014, and Taiwan increased from 68 in 2003 to 168 in 2014. For accumulated IFs and total citations of articles, mainland China ranked the first place, followed by Taiwan and Hong Kong. However, publications from Taiwan had the highest average citations per article, and publications from Hong Kong had the highest average IFs. Among the top 10 most prolific authors and institutions, 4 authors and 4 institutions were from Taiwan, 3 authors and 4 institutions were from mainland China, and 3 authors and 2 institutions were from Hong Kong.ConclusionsThe quantity of articles published in international orthopedics journals from mainland China presented a remarkable upward trend during the past 12 years. Given the relative size of the populations, it should be emphasized that mainland China still has a long way to go to achieve the academic performance of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
