Abstract:

Objective　To analyze the change of the main bibliometrics indexes of Journal of Tissue Engineering and

Reconstructive Surgery in recent 4 years, and to compare with other journals of cosmetic and plastic surgery. Methods　Based

on the statistical data from the Chinese S&T Journal Citation Reports (Core Version), the main bibliometric indicators of Tissue

Engineering and Reconstructive Surgery, including total cites, impact factor, fund paper ratio, other-citing rate and other citing

indexes, were statistically and longitudinal analyzed, and horizontal comparisons were made with 5 cosmetic and plastic surgery

journals with similar publication backgrounds. Results　In the past four years, the total cites and published article numbers in

Tissue Engineering and Reconstructive Surgery increased steadily, while the impact factor, fund paper ratio, and comprehensive

evaluation scores showed a downward trend, and the other-citing rate remained at about 0.9. Compared with other journals of

cosmetic and plastic surgery, the total cites, impact factor and published article numbers of our journal ranked at the bottom, but

the other-citing rate, fund paper ratio, and comprehensive evaluation scores ranked at the top. Conclusion　The short-term

goal and direction of the journal is to organize high-quality papers and enhance the scope of the journal.
