Abstract:

Article reports findings from a citation analysis of the top 100 most frequently cited neurorehabilitation papers to describe the research trends in the field. A search of papers indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection database yielded 52,581 papers. A candidate pool of the 200 most-cited papers published between 2005 and 2016 was reviewed by the authors. The papers in the top 100 deemed to be irrelevant were discarded and replaced by the most highly-cited articles in the second tier deemed to be clinically relevant. The type of article (e.g., review or evaluation, treatment study), clinical diagnosis of focus (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, stroke), and symptom type (e.g., aphasia, cognitive impairment) were determined by consensus between the clinician authors Results indicated the most frequently cited neurorehablitation papers appeared in the journals Stroke, Movement Disorders, and Neurology. Papers tended to focus on treatments, especially for stroke. Authorship trends suggest that top cited papers result from group endeavors, with 90 percent of the papers involving a collaboration among 3 or more authors.
