Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of medical research, the significance of journal metrics as indicators of academic prestige and dissemination effectiveness remains paramount. This study aims to compare the journal metrics of top‐ranked orthopedic, medical and surgical journals to understand their academic influence and reach within the scientific community. This cross‐sectional comparative study analyzed the Impact Factor, Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) and H‐index of journals ranked in the top tier of their respective fields. Data was collected from recognized databases and journal web sites, focusing on metrics published in the most recent full calendar year. Statistical analysis, including F‐tests and t‐tests, was conducted to determine significant differences between the metrics across disciplines. The findings revealed that surgical journals generally exhibited higher Impact Factors and SJRs compared to orthopedic and medical journals. Surgical journals had an average Impact Factor of 3.5, compared to 3.2 for orthopedic and 2.8 for medical journals. Similarly, the average SJR was highest for surgical journals at 2.0, followed by orthopedic journals at 1.8 and medical journals at 1.6. The Hindex also reflected a higher citation and impact continuity in surgical journals (H‐index of 95) compared to orthopedic (90) and medical (85) journals. Statistical analysis confirmed the significance of these differences across all metrics. The study underscores the variable academic impact and reach of journals across different medical disciplines, with surgical journals leading in most metrics. This variability highlights the importance of considering specific journal metrics when selecting a publication venue to optimize visibility and influence within the field.
