1) Spreading the word on sports concussion: citation analysis of summary and agreement, position and consensus statements on sports concussion |
|
Authors:
Sridhar Alla, S John Sullivan, Paul McCrory, et al.
The growing concern over concussion in sports has led to the publication of five major summary and agreement, position and consensus statements since 2000. The dissemination of information from these statements is largely unknown and difficult to quantify, but their impact on the research community can be quantified by analysing the number of citations to these key publications. The purpose of this review is to report the number and pattern of citations to the key published statements on sports concussion.
