Abstract
BACKGROUND: Citations analysis is one of the most widely used bibliometric tools to evaluate the academic importance of a study in a specific area of knowledge. The objective of this study was to identify the 100 most cited articles on oral cancer and to analyse their principal characteristics. METHODS: We performed a literature search in the Web of Science database using the Science Citation Index Expanded tool to determine the number of citations of all articles on oral cancer identified up to 10 August 2017. The 100 most referenced articles were then selected, and the following information was gathered: ranking based on the number of citations; citation density; citations in Scopus; number and names of the authors; language and year of publication; country and institution of origin; financial support; journal of publication, with its impact factor, category and quartile; type of research; evidence level; and area of study. RESULTS: The number of citations of the 100 articles varied from 1959 to 165, and the number of authors varied from a single author to 23. The oldest article was from 1948, and the most recent was from 2013. All the studies were published in English, the majority (56%) was from the United States, and 80% were published in journals in the first quartile. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of articles were of studies that had received financial support, were published in journals with a high impact factor and were focussed on the aetiology and pathogenesis of oral cancer.
