Significados de orthopaedic journals en inglés

Only journals that were considered primarily orthopaedic journals were included.

Conclusions: Overall, the mean IF for peer-reviewed orthopaedic journals has increased in the past years, as has the number of journals.

All manuscripts published in 6 major orthopaedic journals between 2013-2017 reporting at least one clinical outcome measure were collected.

In this study, we assessed the trends for IF among orthopaedic journals and compared these trends to those of medicine and general surgery journals.

The mean IF of both general and specialized orthopaedic journals increased from 2010 to 2016, but the difference was nonsignificant.
