Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The 9th World Biomaterials Congress will be held in China in 2012, Chinese researcher about biomaterials has stepped into the international level. As a hotspot, the number of papers, authors and periodicals of biomaterials is increasing rapidly. Little evidence is available from such many studies.
OBJECTIVE: In order to understand the trend of international biomaterials research, the present study selected ten Science Citation Index (SCI)-included journals on biomaterials for analyzing their citations to obtain the classic papers, the core authors and journals, with expect of assisting researchers.
METHODS: A computer-based online search of SCI-included journals regarding the biomaterials, according to the impact factor we selected the related journals and downloaded 406 753 citations. The statistical analysis was performed using Excl and Access.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Based on the statistical analysis, we got 10 classic papers, 10 core authors, and 20 core journals regarding the biomaterials. Researchers should focus on classic papers listed in the present study regarding the biomaterials, concern the research progress of the related core authors, and read the core journals.
