ABSTRACT

Introduction: The cites received by a paper is the most common method used to determine its impact in a particular scientific field. Plantar fasciitis is one of the five most common skeletal muscle injuries in runners. With a multi-factor aetiology, this degenerative process of the plantar fascia occurs when it is repetitively exposed to tensile overload. This research aims to analyse the characteristics of the 25 most-cited papers on plantar fasciitis in runners.

Materials and methods: To find the top-cited articles, the Web of Science database was used. Data was analysed regarding the number of citations, year of publication, publishing journal, research area, authorship, institution, country, and bibliographic references.

Results: The 25 most cited articles were published between 1983 and 2009. The 2000s is the most productive decade, paperwise. 84 % of these articles are from the US. They were published in 11 journals. On average, they had 78.5 citations per article. The main research areas in which the papers were developed were Orthopaedics and Sport Science.

Conclusion: The results of this research facilitate the identifi cation of the most relevant research papers contributing to the development of scientifi c knowledge in the aetiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of plantar fasciitis in runners, and help to determine how it has evolved over time. It is also a way of acknowledging authors and institutions with outstanding contributions and leadership in this research area, as well as their most influential authors.
