based on 2 of the authors’ curation of an online, comprehensive bibliography of OR management articles and corresponding referenced course materials. METHODS: We studied all 2938 publications having Scopus’ SciVal topic T.6319 (OR management) more than 28 years from 1996 through May 2023, including 8608 distinct authors. RESULTS: Half (50%) of the publications were absent from PubMed, and the percentage absent has been increasing progressively (Kendall’s τ = 0.71; P < .0001). Fewer than half were published in journals including anesthesiology as the sole classification (20%) or as one of the classifications (27%). The anesthesiology journals have been publishing a progressively decreasing fraction (τ = −0.61; P < .0001). Among the 11 authors each contributing at least 1% of the OR management science publications, 9 were anesthesiologists and the other 2 had anesthesiologists as coauthors on all these publications. Only 3% of authors had at least 10 OR management publications from earlier years. There were 75% of authors with no such earlier publications and 85% with 0 or 1. There was a progressive increase in the number of authors publishing OR management annually and with at most 1 such earlier publication (τ = 0.90; P < .0001). Only 20% of publications had any author with at least 10 earlier OR management publications, 48% had every author with no such earlier publications, and 60% had all authors with 0 or 1. CONCLUSIONS: Although most of the authors with the greatest production of OR management science were anesthesiologists, the percentage of publications in anesthesiology journals has been decreasing progressively. Anesthesiologists cannot rely solely on anesthesiology journals to keep up with the field. For most publications, every author had few or no earlier publications on the topic. Clinicians and managers relying on OR management science will continue to need to apply more information when judging whether published results can reliably be applied to their facilities....

麻醉学期刊和麻醉医师对手术室管理科学贡献的文献计量分析

基于两位作者整理的 OR 管理文章和相应参考课程材料的在线综合参考书目。方法：我们研究了从 1996 年到 2023 年 5 月超过 28 年的所有 2938 篇 Scopus SciVal 主题 T.6319（OR 管理）出版物，其中包括 8608 名不同作者。结果：一半 (50%) 的出版物没有出现在 PubMed 中，并且缺席的比例一直在逐渐增加（Kendall 的 τ = 0.71；P < .0001）。不到一半的文章发表在将麻醉学作为唯一分类（20%）或作为分类之一（27%）的期刊上。麻醉学期刊一直在发表逐渐递减的分数 (τ = −0.61; P < .0001)。在贡献至少 1% 手术室管理科学出版物的 11 名作者中，9 名是麻醉科医生，另外 2 名麻醉科医生是所有这些出版物的合著者。只有 3% 的作者早年发表过至少 10 篇手术室管理出版物。有 75% 的作者没有此类早期出版物，85% 的作者有 0 或 1 篇出版物。每年出版 OR 管理的作者数量逐渐增加，并且最多有 1 篇此类早期出版物（τ = 0.90；P < .0001 ）。只有 20% 的出版物中的任何作者至少发表过 10 篇早期 OR 管理出版物，48% 的作者中每位作者都没有这样的早期出版物，60% 中的所有作者都发表过 0 或 1 篇文章。结论：尽管大多数作者的产量最高手术室管理科学中的麻醉医师占总人数的比例，在麻醉学期刊上发表论文的比例一直在逐渐下降。麻醉科医生不能仅仅依靠麻醉学期刊来跟上该领域的发展。对于大多数出版物来说，每个作者都很少或根本没有关于该主题的早期出版物。在判断已发表的结果是否可以可靠地应用于其设施时，依赖手术室管理科学的临床医生和管理人员将继续需要应用更多信息......
