Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the characteristics of bone and joint injuries-related articles published in Chinese Journal of Trauma (hereinafter referred to as the "Journal") from 1985 to 2024. Methods:Using the VIP Chinese Journal Database and Wanfang Database as data sources, all the articles on bone and joint injuries published in the Journal from 1985 to 2024 were retrieved. Analysis covered publication volume, citation frequency, research hotspot distribution, institutional affiliations, author characteristics, and funding support over the 40-year period.Results:During the 40 years since the Journal′s establishment, a total of 3 696 articles on bone and joint injuries have been published, with a total of 34 568 citations and an average of 9.35 citations per article. In the first decade following its foundation (1985-1994), the Journal mainly focused on research hotspots such as internal fixation of fractures (20.59%, 77/374), fracture classification (14.71%, 55/374), and surgical instruments (12.57%, 47/374); In the second decade (1995-2004), the Journal mainly focused on open fractures (11.56%, 101/874), osteoarthritis (9.73%, 85/874), and biomechanics (9.50%, 83/874) and other research hotspots; Osteoporosis (25.84%, 362/1 401), minimally invasive surgery (17.63%, 247/1 401), and rehabilitation (13.63%, 191/1 401) prevailed in the third decade (2005-2014), while tissue engineering (18.62%, 195/1 047), 3D printing (16.43%, 172/1 047), and intelligent technology (13.18%, 138/1 047) emerged as focal points in the fourth decade (2015-2024). Most publications involved 1-5 institutions, though 21 articles had>10 collaborating institutions. The maximum number of collaborating institutions reached 52, all observed in consensus and guideline documents. The average number of collaborating authors per article ranged from 3 to 7, primarily from renowned medical universities and major Grade A tertiary hospitals. Funding support rates increased progressively over the years: 0.80% (1985-1994), 13.04% (1995-2004), 22.13% (2005-2014), and 53.01% (2015-2024).Conclusion:Over the 40-year period, the Journal′s bone and joint injuries-related articles have exhibited substantial growth in publication volume, shift alongside disciplinary advances, technological innovations, and clinical needs in research hotspots, changes of geographical distribution from concentration to broader expansion in institutional collaborations, significant academic influence in core authors, and consistent upward trend in funding support rates.
