Abstract:Which journals cite work published in anaesthetic journals is of potential interest to authors, editors and publishers. We analysed citations made in 2017–2018 for articles, reviews, editorials and letters published by 12 anaesthetic journals in 2016, using the Web of Science™ citation index platform. We analysed 12,544 citations made for 3518 items. Citations were most often made by specialist anaesthesia journals and critical care journals, and occurred most commonly in articles, followed by reviews, editorials and letters. The median (IQR range]) number of citations made per item was 3.3 (2.6–4.1 1.6–5.1]). The median (IQR range]) number of journals that cited the 12 source journals was 302 (236–449 139–671]). The median (IQR range]) proportion of citations made by the same journal that published the items (i.e. ‘self-citations’) was 15% (11–17% 5–32%]). There were 1305/1932 (68%) citations made by North American journals for items published in North American journals and 1712/2063 (83%) citations made by European journals for items published in European journals, p < 0.0001. Our analysis may inform authors, editors and publishers where to submit work, what editorial policy to pursue and what journal strategy to follow, respectively.
