Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the changes of publication and main evaluation indicators of the Chinese Journal of Antituberculosis from 2014 to 2023, and provide reference for sustainable development of the journal. Methods: Academic papers published in the Chinese Journal of Antituberculosis from 2014 to 2023 were searched through the Wanfang database. Descriptive analysis was used to calculate the number of authors, publishing institutions, citations, as well as the core authors and their institutions for each year of 2014 to 2023, and to illustrate statistics on high cited papers and high publishing institutions in the Chinese Journal of Antituberculosis from 2014 to 2023. Results: From 2014 to 2023, the Chinese Journal of Antituberculosis published a total of 2310 articles, with an average of 5.40 authors per article and an average of 7.78 citations per article. According to statistics of the core authors of this journal, Cheng Jun, Deng Guofang, Jiang Shiwen, Liu Eryong, and Chen Hui were the top five first authors in terms of comprehensive academic level, with comprehensive academic level values of 535.56, 500.89, 487.85, 455.92, and 430.65, respectively; Xiao Heping, Zhao Yanlin, Wu Xueqiong, Qin Shibing, and Zhang Hui were the top five corresponding authors in terms of comprehensive academic level, with comprehensive academic level values of 843.28, 702.64, 534.17, 491.83, and 430.78, respectively. Beijing Chest Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, National Center for Tuberculosis Control and Prevention of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital affiliated to Tongji University were institutions with highest numbers of articles published by Chinese Journal of Antituberculosis during this period, with 350, 155, and 101 articles respectively. Conclusion: The articles in the Chinese Journal of Antituberculosis have been cited at a relatively high level, but there is still room for improvement. Strengthening cooperation with high publishing institutions, attracting more core authors, and establishing extensive connections with experts, scholars, readers, and authors in the field are important ways for journals to achieve sustainable development.
