Share of Articles in the “Dental Implants” Section among the Total Number of Articles in the Journal Focused on All Aspects of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and 5-Year Impact Factor 1.943: A 3-Year Longitudinal Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Purpose: To analyze the share of articles (total number and percent) in the “Dental Implants” section and the total number of articles during a 3-year period of publishing in the journal which had the highest total number of dental implant articles in the 1966-2016 period among other journals focused on all aspects of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Materials and Methods: Our study included the calculations in the consecutive 36 issues (from January 2017 to December 2019) of the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (JOMS): 1) the total number of articles and 2) the number of articles in the “Dental Implant” section.

Results: Articles focused on pre-implant and implant surgery continue to stay in the focus of interest of the leading OMS journal reaching 5.43% (2.02 papers per 1 issue) of its total amount of publications. The mean total number of articles per 1 issue during a 3-year period became 37.33 papers. Despite the fact that the total number of articles in 2018 increased to 452, the number in 2017 and 2019 was mirrored and totaled 446 articles.

Conclusions: The articles focused on implantology continue to stay in the focus of interest of the leading OMS journal. The very high total number of articles (446) per year in 2017 and 2018 can indicate a very strong journal’s reputation among authors and submission levels. Also, as the mean of total number of articles per 1 issue is 37.33, it gives a possibility to increase the publishing frequency in two times (biweekly journal) what can lead to the multiple advantages for the authors, readers, and editorial office.

Introduction

Choosing of peer-reviewed journal for the publication is usually a challenge for the oral and maxillofacial surgeons, PhD students, residents, interns, and trainees of the fellowship programs. An academic system in different countries usually requires from authors to submit their papers to the journals covered by Scopus or publications with impact factor. For specialists who are involved into oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) with often performance of dental implants surgeries and persons in OMS educational programs the focus of attention usually falls to the journals with a scope on all aspects of OMS. Moreover, they want to publish their dental implants studies not only in the journals covered by Scopus and with impact factor, but simultaneously belonging to the OMS community and their specialty.

According to the study of Yeung and Leung (2018) the highest number of publications dedicated to dental implants among journals focused on all aspects of OMS was in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (JOMS) and reached the number of 378 articles (i.e., for 2.6% of total articles [related with dental implants] count) from 1966 to 2016 period. The authors used the Web of Science Core Collection database and search for the topic of “dent* implant*.”

The purpose of our study was to analyze the share of articles (total number and percent) in the “Dental Implants” section and the total number of articles during a 3-year period of publishing in the journal which had the highest total number of dental implant articles in a 1966-2016 period among other journals focused on all aspects of oral and maxillofacial surgery. The goal of analysis was to understand the publishing tendency in the “Dental Implants” section due to the next criteria: 1) reduction/growth of total number of published articles for three consecutive years (2017, 2018, and 2019), 2) percentage change of articles’ number in the “Dental Implants” section.

Materials and Methods

Despite the fact that two publications which are focused on all aspects of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (JOMS) (2018 impact factor = 1.781) and International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (IJOMS) (2018 impact factor = 1.961), are included to the 10 journals with the highest number of dental implant publications, and despite the fact that the 2018 and 5-year impact factor of IJOMS is higher than that of JOMS the last one was chosen as object of the study due to the fact that it contains 35.98% higher total number of dental implant articles (Table 1) in a 1966-2016 period. Thus, taking into account the statistics of Yeung and Leung, as of march 2018, the JOMS can be considered the leading publication by the number of dental implant articles among journals focused on all aspects of maxillofacial and oral surgery.

Our study included the calculations in the consecutive 36 issues (from January 2017 to December 2019) of the JOMS: 1) the total number of articles and 2) the number of articles in the “Dental Implant” section. Total number of articles included the articles of the next sections: “Editorials,” “Letters to the Editor,” “Perspectives,” “75th Anniversary Contribution,” “Special Contribution,” “Other,” “Clinical Focus,” “Dentoalveolar Surgery,” “Anesthesia/TMJ Disorders/Facial Pain,” “Dental Implants,” “Pathology,” “Craniomaxillofacial Trauma,” “Craniomaxillofacial Deformities/Sleep Disorders/Cosmetic Surgery,” “Surgical Oncology and Reconstruction.” From the study were excluded the Supplement issues of the 2017 (February 2017 Supplement, August 2017 Supplement, October 2017 Supplement), 2018 (October 2018 Supplement), and 2019 (September 2019 Supplement). “Erratums,” “Reviewer Acknowledgements,” “News and Announcements” were also excluded from a total number of articles.

Results

Table 2 represents all collected data which belong to the inclusions criteria and demonstrated total number of articles in every issue, in “Dental Implants” section, and its percentage from total number of articles per issue. Also, every article’s title published in the “Dental Implants” Section of JOMS is presented.

Summarizing the statistics: The highest number of articles (5 papers) in the “Dental Implants” section was noted only one time during a 3-year study period in a July issue of 2017. The lowest number of articles in the “Dental Implants” section was 1 article per 1 issue. The mean number of articles in the “Dental Implants” section became 2.02 papers per 1 issue.

The highest total number of articles per 1 issue was also in 2017 July’s issue and counts 50 papers. The lowest total number of articles per 1 issue was 27 papers and this number of papers was noted in two issues (November 2017 and November 2019). The mean of total number of articles per 1 issue during 3-year period became 37.33 papers.

Generally, despite the total number of articles in 2018 (Table 3) increased a little bit to 452 papers, the number in 2017 and 2019 was mirrored and totaled 446 articles what can symbolize the stability of high reputation of the journal.

After 2017, when the share of articles in the “Dental Implants” section was 6.27 percent (28 articles) in 2018 and 2019 its percentage decreased to 4.86% (22 articles) and 5.15% (23 articles). That can symbolize, taking into account that total number of articles a year in 2018 increased to 452 papers and in 2019 returned to the number 446, that editorial board received lower number of submitted articles to the “Dental Implants” section and replenish the stable volume of the journal by publishing the expanding number of articles in other sections. Or it was a conscious decision of the editorial board to narrow the journal’s scope related with pre-implant surgery and implantation with a strategic purpose to shift focus towards other OMS sections.

Conclusions

In summary, the articles focused on implantology continue to stay in the focus of interest of the leading OMS journal (2018 impact factor 1.781) reaching 5.43 percent (2.02 papers per 1 issue) of its total amount of publications. The very high total number of articles (446) per year 2017 and 2018 can indicate a very strong journal’s reputation among authors and submission levels. Also, as the mean of total number of articles per 1 issue is 37.33 papers, the increasing of publishing frequency in two times (biweekly journal) can lead to the multiple advantages for the authors, readers, and editorial office.
