Description
Raju Vaishya and co-authors analyze a decade of publishing in SICOT-J, an open-access orthopaedic journal, in a 2026 scientometric study. The journal launched in 2015 under an international orthopaedic society. The team examined 542 documents indexed in Scopus through mid-2025, tracking topics, citations, funding, and collaboration.
Research articles made up most output, while reviews earned the highest citations per paper. Joint replacement and trauma topics led the field, with hip and knee the most studied sites. Only a small share of papers reported external funding. The authors suggest widening participation from underrepresented regions and improving funding transparency to raise the journal's global reach.
