Replication Data for: Reporting of academic degrees in high-impact medical journals

We identified the hundred highest impact medical journals based on impact factor reported in the Journal Citation Reports published in 2018. Characteristics of each journal in regard to specialty, impact factor, primary journal focus, continent, and open access policy were obtained. Data were collected on the presence of academic degrees following author names in the title page by assessment of multiple original research articles from each journal. Approximately ten articles published in July 2018 and August 2019 were assessed for each journal. If there was any discrepancy between the print and the online version, the print version was use. There were no discrepancies within journals for the two time periods.

本研究基于2018年发布的《期刊引证报告（Journal Citation Reports，JCR）》公布的影响因子，筛选出影响力排名前百的医学期刊。收集了各期刊在学科类别、影响因子、核心聚焦领域、所属大洲以及开放获取政策方面的特征数据。通过评估每本期刊刊载的多篇原创研究论文，采集了其标题页中作者姓名后是否标注学术学位的相关数据。每本期刊的评估样本约为10篇发表于2018年7月与2019年8月的论文。若印刷版与网络版存在数据差异，则以印刷版为准。两个采样时间周期内，各期刊内部均未出现数据不一致的情况。
