Contribution Resources And Its Related Issues Analysis Of Progress In Obstetrics And Gynecology

ObjectiveManuscripts contributed to progress in Obstetrics and Gynecology were collected.To explore the present situation of journal articles.From the angle of literature citation,to evaluate the academic level and academic influence.To analyze the characteristics of highly cited papers,provide reference datas for the development of good articles.MethodsManuscripts contributed to Progress in Obstetrics and Gynecology were selected from Jan.1,2012 to Dec.31,2015.The first authors datas of general information (degree,title), unit information,research contents (Gynaecology,Obstetrics,Reproductive and other) and funding situation were collected.According to the analysis of column arrangement,contribution resources and writers backgrounds,some deficiencies in journal of progress in Obstetrics and Gynecology will be explored.To evaluate the quality of published papers,the academic level and academic influence of Progress in Obstetrics and Gynecology using Chinese Periodical Full Text Database,China Citation Database,Scientific and Technological Periodical Quotation.Based on the price law,to determine the highly cited papers.The cited papers were divided into two groups according to the cited frequency.The fund,title,core authors,research content and column type,unit and the cooperation of the authors were compared between two group.The influence factors were analzed using single factor analysis and multifactor analysis.ResultsThe total number of manuscript was on the rise,but the manuscript employed rate gradually decreased.Articles published were mainly composed of Gynecology (55.73%), Obstetrics (26.91%), Reproductive (11.46%),Others (5.90%).40 authors published a number of 3 or more papers.15 institutions published more than 10 papers during four years.The maximum number of papers in East China were 470 articels.The number of papers in Southwest and Northeast China was less,only 52 articels.In 410 fund papers,the number of papers funded by National Natural Science Fundatiion of China was 188,accounting for 45.85%.The cited frequency and average frequency were on the rise as the published time,while download frequency trends was not obvious change.After paper published, downloads grew rapidly,while cited reference peak appeared in the published after 4-5 years.The download rate was 100%,download frequency for 15-751 times.Download frequency>500 times was 15,400～500 times 10,300～400 article 27,200～300 times 300,100～200 times 200,50～100 times 100,<50 times 91.The papers of download frequency≥400 times were all cited.The total download frequency was 83364 times,signal paper download frequency was 128.85 times.459 articles was cited,total cited frequency for 1474 times,signal paper cited 3.21 times.Not cited articles was 188,69 download frequency<50 times,73 download frequency of 50～100 times,46 download frequency of more than 100 times.The highly cited papers was 138,total cited frequency of 665 times.Number of highly cited papers accounted for 21.33% of the total number of published papers,but cited frequency accounted for 45.12%.The number of authors for 2-7,the cooperation degree was 3.97,the cooperation rate was 98.55%.Correlation detection results showed that the download frequency was positively related to the citation rates (Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.231,P=0.231)The average download frequency and citation rates of the papers supported by the national natural fund were higher than the General fund papers.The core authors was higher than non-core author.High-yield paper institutions were higher than general agency.There were statistically significant difference in funded situation,the author degree and title,core authors,research and the column type between cited frequency<4 times and≥4 times (P<0.05).There were no statistically significant difference in author unit (University or Hospital) and author collaboration (P>0.05).Multi-factor analysis results showed that the core author,senior professional titles,national natural fund,education were the independent advantages to improve the reference frequency.ConclusionProgress in Obstetrics and Gynecology reserves held steady basic contributions.Master graduate student authors level is higher,mainly for postgraduate student,and intermediate title on-the-job personnel.The journal grasp the research hotspot and frontier of Obstetrics and Gynaecology,while reference frequency is low, the paper reference peak latency.In order to further enlarge the academic influence of journal,should develop high quality articles,set up the core authors,shorten the publishing period,quicken preference for publication,improve reference frequency,shorten the paper cited peak time.
