Background The number of citations that a published article has received reflects the importance of the paper in the particular area of practice. In microsurgery, thus far, which journal articles are cited most frequently is unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the characteristics of the top 50 papers in the field of microsurgery in the plastic surgery literature. Methods The 50 most cited papers published in high impact plastic surgery and microsurgery journals were identified. The articles were ranked in the order of the number of citations received. These 50 classic papers were analyzed for article type, journal distribution, and geographic and institutional origin. Results Six international journals contributed to the top 50 papers in microsurgery. The most cited paper reported on the early use of the vascularized bone graft and was cited 116 times. The top 50 papers originated from just 10 countries with the United States producing the most. The Preston and Northcote Community Hospital, Melbourne published 5 papers and this was the most productive institution in the top 50. Conclusions These papers represent many important milestones in the relatively short history of microsurgery. Furthermore, our citation analysis provides useful information to budding authors as to what makes a paper attain a "classic" status.

본 논문은 정보과학 분야를 중심으로 학술대회 논문에서 참고자료를 인용하는 패턴을 분석하고 피인용된 참고자료의 다양한 특성이 추후 그 자료를 참고한 학술대회 논문의 인용수에 어떤 영향을 끼치는지 분석하였다. 참고자료의 인용패턴에 관한 계량서지학 연구는 학술지 논문을 중심으로 활발히 이루어졌다. 하지만 점점 커지는 중요성에도 학술대회 논문을 대상으로 한 계량서지학 연구는 그 자체가 아직 초기 단계이다. 특히, 학술대회 논문에서 참고자료를 인용한 패턴이나 학술대회 논문의 인용수와 관련이 깊은 피인용 자료의 특성들을 조사하는 연구는 미비하다. 따라서 본 연구는 1,900여편의 정보과학 관련 학술대회 논문을 표본논문으로 삼고 그 표본 논문에서 참고자료가 어떻게 인용되었는지 패턴을 살펴보았다. 또, 참고자료의 다양한 특성들(참고자료의 유형 및 개수, 피인용 당시 참고자료의 인용수, 피인용 당시 참고자료의 나이, 저자의 자기인용 비율)이 표본논문과 추후 얻게 될 인용수와 어떤 연관이 있는지 조사하였다. 그 결과, 피인용 참고자료의 53%가 학술대회 논문이었고, 29%가 학술지 논문이었다. 특히, 참고자료의 14%가 학술지 논문이나 단행본이 아닌 비전형적인 참고자료의 유형이었다. 그리고 참고자료의 60% 이상이 5년 이내에 발표된 자료이고, 최신자료일수록 학술대회 논문, 웹 페이지, 기타자료의 비중이 높았다. 참고자료 중 자기 인용비율은 1.7%로 미비했다. 마지막으로 표본논문의 인용수에 유의미한 영향을 끼치는 참고자료의 특성은 참고자료로 쓰인 학술대회 논문의 수, 기타 자료의 수, 그리고 참고자료의 평균나이였다. 즉, 학술대회 논문과 기타자료를 참고자료로 많이 사용하고 최신의 자료를 많이 참조한 표본논문일수록 많이 인용되었다.

Background The plastic surgery literature is vast, consisting of a plethora of diverse articles written by a myriad of illustrious authors. Despite this considerable archive of published material, it remains nebulous as to which precise papers have had the greatest impact on our specialty. The aim of this study was to identify the most cited papers in the plastic surgery literature and perform a citation analysis paying particular attention to the evidence levels of the clinical studies. Methods We identified the 50 most cited papers published in the 20 highest impact plastic surgery journals through the Web of Science. The articles were ranked in order of number of citations acquired and level of evidence assessed. Results The top 50 cited papers were published in six different journals between the years 1957 and 2007. Forty-two of the papers in the top 50 were considered as level IV or V evidence. No level I or II evidence was present in the top 50 list. The average level of evidence of the top 50 papers was 4.28. Conclusions In the plastic surgery literature, no positive correlation exists between a high number of citations and a high level of evidence. Anatomical reconstructive challenges tend to be the main focus of plastic surgery rather than pathologic diseases and consequently, papers with lower levels of evidence are relatively more valuable in plastic surgery than many other specialties.

Background Citation analysis is a recognized scientometric method of classifying cited articles according to the frequency of which they have been referenced. The total number of citations an article receives is considered to reflect it's significance among it's peers. Methods Until now, a bibliometric analysis has never been performed in the specialty of craniofacial anomalies and craniofacial surgery. This citation analysis generates an extensive list of the 50 most influential papers in this developing field. Journals specializing in craniofacial surgery, maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery, neurosurgery, genetics and pediatrics were searched to demonstrate which articles have cultivated the specialty within the past 55 years. Results The results show an intriguing compilation of papers which outline the fundamental knowledge of craniofacial anomalies and the developments of surgical techniques to manage these patients. Conclusions This citation analysis provides a summation of the current most popular trends in craniofacial literature. These esteemed papers aid to direct our decision making today within this specialty.

본 연구는 기존의 인용횟수를 기반으로 순위매김을 하던 방식과 달리 연도별 인용횟수증가율 (YCGR) 을 기반으로 하는 특정 방법으로 순위매김을 하여 추후의 인용가능성까지 아우르는 새로운 순위매김 방법론을 제안한다. YCGR 기반 순위매김은 논문의 인용횟수만을 적용하지 않고 총 인용문, 왼쪽경사, 출판연도, 피크연도 및 오른쪽경사와 같은 5 가지 개별인용 관련 변수의 평균값을 계산하여 순위를 정한다. 이 연구를 수행하기 위해 Scopus 데이터베이스를 이용하여 1996년에서 2016년까지 Walters와 Wilder가 발표한 문헌정보학 저널을 기반으로 삼아 가장 많이 인용된 논문 50편을 수집하였다. 이 논문들을 앞서 언급한 YCGR 측정요건들에 맞게 설정한 기울기를 측정하여 순위 매김을 하였다. 결과적으로 YCGR 순위는 논문이 추후 인용 받을 가능성의 정도를 반영하는 것으로 보이며 또한 문헌정보학에서 많이 인용된 논문들의 특징과 추세를 살펴볼 수 있는 대안적 기능도 제공했다. 더 많은 경험적 분석이 필요하지만 YCGR에 기반한 순위는 다양한 연구영역의 최다 인용된 논문들 가운데서 주목할 만한 논문을 찾는 데에도 유용하게 쓰여질 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
