近5年SCI源期刊发表的艾灸文献分析

目的:分析近5年美国《科学引文索引》(Science Citation Index,SCI)收录发表的艾灸文献,从而掌握当前艾灸研究近况,以期为本疗法的后续研究提供参考.方法:电子检索PubMed及Web of Science数据库,两位评价者独立整理检索文献,并对文献分别从数量、文献类型、期刊来源、影响因子(Impact Factor,IF)、国别、发表院校、病种及疗效评价和国内外比较八方面进行分析.结果和结论:共纳入文献53篇.近5年SCI收录艾灸文献逐年递增,多为临床研究或系统评价,但发表杂志IF不高(大多小于5);艾灸治疗病重繁多,疗效尚不确定,疗效机制也尚不明确.期待更多高质量的研究以明确艾灸临床疗效和增加相关文献的SCI发表数量.

Analysis of moxibustion reports published in journals of science citation index in recent 5 years

Objective

To analyze moxibustion reports published in the journals of Science Citation Index (SCI), so as to grasp the current publication development of researches on moxibustion and to provide submission reference to such studies in the future.

Methods

Moxibustion reports were searched on PubMed and ISI web of knowledge, and 2 reviewers extracted data independently for analysis. Studies qualified were analyzed from eight aspects: publishing amount, research type, source journal, impact factor (IF), source country, source academy, indication and effect evaluation, comparison of studies between China and other countries.

Results and Conclusion

Fifty-three associated reports published in journals of SCI were selected. The publishing amount of moxibustion reports increased year by year, and majority of these reports were clinical researches and system reviews. IFs of most journals were less than 5. Diseases involved were various; however, the curative effect of moxibustion was still uncertain worldwide. The mechanism of moxibustion was not fully described, either. Further high-quality and convictive researches were still needed to define the curative effect of moxibustion and to increase the SCI publishing amounts.
