| Summary: | Objective: Assessing the quality of scientific publications accurately and objectively is critical. This study analyzes the most cited articles on cochlear implants using altmetrics (alternative metrics) and traditional metrics.Materials and Methods: A basic search was conducted in the Web of Science database using the term “cochlear implant.” The analysis included the year of publication, years since publication, number of citations, and average number of citations per year for each publication. Additionally, the impact factor (IF), 5-year IF, Q category of the journals, and altmetric scores (ASs) were evaluated.Results: ASs showed significant correlations with the number of citations, IF, 5-year IF, and publication year. Notably, open-access articles constituted 68% of the total. However, no significant differences were observed between open-access and nonopen-access articles concerning citations (p=0.489) or ASs (p=0.735), respectively.Conclusion: Although altmetrics are currently viewed as complementary to traditional metrics, it exhibits potential for increased importance over time. |
