Most human nicotine and smoking research is published in lower-impact journals, not high-impact ones. This study identifies key journals for smoking cessation and tobacco use disorder research.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Medical Informatics
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Smoking is a leading cause of mortality in developed nations, responsible for 20% of all deaths.
  • Understanding the publication landscape of smoking and nicotine research is crucial for public health.
  • Identifying high-impact journals covering this topic aids researchers and policymakers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify academic journals specializing in human nicotine and smoking research.
  • To assess the extent to which "high-impact" journals cover smoking-related topics.
  • To analyze the impact factors of journals publishing nicotine/smoking research.

Main Methods:

  • Searched MEDLINE and PSYCLIT databases for English-language articles (1988-1992) on nicotine, smoking, smoking cessation, and tobacco use disorder.

  • Analyzed 58 journals with at least 20 nicotine/smoking articles over the five-year period.
  • Calculated impact factors (IF) for these journals, representing citations per article.

    • Main Results:

    • Journals with the highest proportion of nicotine/smoking articles (9-39%) and significant IFs included Addiction, American Journal of Public Health, Cancer Causes and Control, Health Psychology, and Preventive Medicine (IF range: 1.3-2.6).
    • Among high-impact journals (IF > 3), only a few published substantial amounts of smoking research: American Journal of Epidemiology, American Review of Respiratory Disease, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and Journal of the American Medical Association (3-5% of articles).
    • The Journal of the American Medical Association published the largest volume of nicotine/smoking articles (32 per year) among high-impact journals.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite smoking's significant mortality impact, high-impact journals provide inadequate coverage of this topic.
    • The majority of smoking research is published in journals with lower impact factors.
    • This distribution suggests a need for greater attention to smoking research in leading scientific publications.
