Orthodontic research outputs provide useful insight into clinical and research priorities, which can help inform future research efforts and resource outputs. In recent years, the need for more patient-reported outcomes in orthodontic research has been highlighted.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To identify the most common reported research subjects in orthodontics between 2013\u201323; (2) identify the main outcomes and types of study design associated with this research, including study design related to patient-reported outcomes; and (3) identify trends in this research activity based upon these findings.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A literature search was performed in a single electronic database (Scopus) to return all indexed publications with relevance to orthodontics published from 2013 to 2023. The 50 most-cited publications per year were then identified. Publication characteristics were extracted using a data collection sheet. Descriptive statistics including frequency distributions were calculated.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 14\u00a0397 publications were identified. Publications on orthodontic bonding made up 7.02% of all output, followed by materials (5.88%) and tooth movement (5.42%). Subsequent analysis of the most-cited publications per year revealed the most frequently published subjects were aligners (12.5%), orthodontic tooth movement (9.45%), and digital workflow (9.09%), and the most common study designs were in vitro (19.09%) and retrospective observational studies (15.45%). The most common outcome type was morphological features of malocclusion (26.9%). Conversely, patient-focused measures were only reported in 12.7% of studies.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Orthodontic research outputs are dynamic but do show consistent research interest in certain subjects. There is a predilection for the reporting of clinician-focused outcomes; whilst these have some value, more efforts should be focused on conducting rigorous and robust studies that include patient-reported outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ejo\/cjae042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,20]],"date-time":"2024-08-20T09:56:27Z","timestamp":1724147787000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Longitudinal bibliometric investigation of published orthodontic research 2013\u201323: are we investigating patient-reported outcomes?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Catherine","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics Faculty of Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences , Guy\u2019s Hospital, King\u2019s College London, London SE1 9RT , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jadbinder","family":"Seehra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics Faculty of Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences , Guy\u2019s Hospital, King\u2019s College London, London SE1 9RT , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2857-0315","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martyn T","family":"Cobourne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics Faculty of Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences , Guy\u2019s Hospital, King\u2019s College London, London SE1 9RT , United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024082009280649300_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"575","DOI":"10.1007\/s11192-010-0202-z","article-title":"The rate of growth in scientific publication and the decline in coverage provided by Science Citation Index","volume":"84","author":"Larsen","year":"2010","journal-title":"Scientometrics"},{"key":"2024082009280649300_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"462","DOI":"10.1111\/ocr.12396","article-title":"Trending topics in orthodontics research during the last three decades: a longitudinal bibliometric study on the top-cited articles","volume":"23","author":"Adobes Martin","year":"2020","journal-title":"Orthod Craniofac Res"},{"key":"2024082009280649300_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e2321175","DOI":"10.1590\/2177-6709.28.1.e2321175.oar","article-title":"International trends of orthodontic publications: a bibliometric observational study of the last decade (2011","volume":"28","author":"Almotairy","year":"2023","journal-title":"Dental Press J Orthod"},{"key":"2024082009280649300_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"245","DOI":"10.1177\/0022034520962751","article-title":"Dental research waste in design, analysis, and reporting: a scoping review","volume":"100","author":"Pandis","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Dent Res"},{"key":"2024082009280649300_CIT0005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"86","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(09)60329-9","article-title":"Avoidable waste in the production and reporting of research evidence","volume":"374","author":"Chalmers","year":"2009","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"2024082009280649300_CIT0006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e072446","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2023-072446","article-title":"Is our public research money well spent?
