Abstract

Publication metrics, which measure how frequently a journal or article is cited, offer insights into its impact. With increasing competition in publishing, bibliometrics have evolved to assess a journal's reputation and a researcher's output. This review conducts a descriptive analysis of the top 50 pulmonology journals using bibliometric indicators to understand the evolution of pulmonary research from 2019 to 2023 and examines how these changes may be related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis reveals shifts in journal rankings, with some journals improving and others declining along with changes in research output and citation dynamics. The review provides researchers with perspective into journal performance in pulmonary research, particularly in the context of COVID-19 pandemic's influence on respiratory health.
