Background

Plastic surgery has evolved rapidly in recent years. We performed a bibliometric analysis of plastic surgery publications from 2010 to 2020 to evaluate global developments in plastic surgery and the Chinese contribution to this field.

We also determined the most popular journals for research from the 8 top-ranking countries in terms of contributed articles, including China.

Results

From 2010 to 2020, 55,554 articles were published in the 35 selected
