Bibliometrics and citation analysis are popular forms of analyzing medical literature based on article impact as determined by the number of citations an article has received from other publications. Many bibliometric studies published within the past 10 years have assembled lists of highly cited papers, top 100 papers, or citation classics of specialties, subspecialties, and specific morbidities. For pediatric epilepsy, there is only 1 study that bibliometrically examines articles in this subspecialty. Although bibliometrics generally examines trends in the literature, we used bibliometrics as a methodology for determining a core set of pediatric epilepsy articles with the highest impact (ie, citation count) that could be used as an introductory reading list for residents, fellows, and early career epileptologists. Therefore, we searched Web of Science to identify the 100 top-cited pediatric epilepsy articles and develop 10 topic areas into which we sorted each article. These recommended articles could be used as essential readings for pediatric epilepsy.

文献计量学和引文分析是基于文章影响力分析医学文献的流行形式，文章影响力取决于文章从其他出版物中获得的引用次数。过去 10 年内发表的许多文献计量研究汇集了高被引论文、前 100 篇论文或专业、亚专业和特定发病率的引文经典列表。对于小儿癫痫，只有 1 项研究对该亚专业的文章进行了文献计量检查。尽管文献计量学通常检查文献中的趋势，但我们使用文献计量学作为一种方法来确定一组影响最大（即引用计数）的儿科癫痫核心文章，这些文章可用作居民、研究员和早期儿童的介绍性阅读清单。职业癫痫学家。所以，我们搜索了 Web of Science 以确定 100 篇被引用次数最多的儿科癫痫文章，并开发了 10 个主题领域，我们对每篇文章进行了分类。这些推荐的文章可以作为小儿癫痫的必备读物。
