摘要

Background

The Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery (JMOS), indexed in PubMed since 2009, has become an important platform for disseminating oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) research. However, a comprehensive bibliometric evaluation integrating citation, collaboration, thematic, and altmetric indicators remains limited. This study aimed to assess publication trends, citation impact, thematic evolution, authorship patterns, institutional productivity, international collaboration, and altmetric attention in JMOS from 2009 to 18th February 2025.

Methods

Publications were retrieved from Scopus and PubMed and standardized for authors, affiliations, and keywords. Bibliometric indicators included publication output, citation metrics, authorship trends, institutional contributions, and collaboration networks. Keyword co-occurrence analysis (restricted to original research and review articles) identified thematic clusters. Visualization was performed using VOSviewer and Bibliometrix. Altmetric indicators, including Mendeley readership and social media mentions, were analysed where available.

Results

A total of 2,755 publications were analysed. Output peaked in 2015 (n = 264) and increased again after 2022. Citation impact was highest for 2011–2015 publications, with mean citations peaking at 16.7. Four thematic clusters were identified: oncology, implantology, trauma, and temporomandibular/orthognathic surgery, with increasing emphasis on regenerative approaches in recent years. A total of 6,723 authors contributed, with rising multi-authorship. Indian institutions dominated, though global contributions increased after 2015. India was the central collaboration hub, with strongest ties to the USA and UK. Altmetric attention was highest for COVID-19 and mucormycosis studies, with higher Mendeley readership observed among frequently cited publications; however, this observation is descriptive.

Conclusion

JMOS has evolved from a nationally focused outlet into an increasingly international platform for OMFS research. While India remains the dominant contributor, rising global participation and collaborations have broadened the journal’s reach. Emphasis on high-level evidence, cross border partnerships, and systematic use of altmetrics can further enhance its global visibility and academic impact.
