Abstract:
Aim: We evaluated the characteristics of the top 50 most cited articles on cardiac tumors using bibliometric analysis. Method: Independent reviewers queried the Web of Science database for articles within the past 50 years. Results: Most articles were published between 1991 and 2016, 18% (9/50) of the first authors were women, 52% (26/50) of the articles were focused on cardiac imaging in addition to other aspects of cardiac tumors and only 61.5% (16/26) of these were focused purely on cardiac imaging. A journal's impact factor and the number of citations of an article were positively correlated, r(48) = 0.24, p = 0.048. Conclusion: This study presents insight into the top 50 most cited articles on cardiac tumors and provides guidance for future research.
