To reveal the features of fund sponsored articles and the status of scientific research by analyzing fund sponsored articles from 5 ophthalmologic journals in Chinese.
Five ophthalmologic journals (Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology, Chinese Journal of Ocular Trauma and Occupational Eye Disease with Ophthalmic Surgery, Chinese Ophthalmic Research, Chinese Journal of Practical Ophthalmology, Chinese Journal Ocular Fundus Disease) published in Chinese in 2005 were selected for this study. The amount, the distribution of region, the number of co-authors, the research direction, the number of funds obtained by each paper and the distribution of subjects in various research fields of fund sponsored articles were calculated by quantitative analysis methods.
Among 1745 articles published in 2005, 222 were supported by various funds (12.72%). Articles sponsored by national, province/ministry and other sources accounted for 4.70%, 4.81% and 3.21% of all articles, respectively. The highest numbers of co-authors was 5.21. The top region of authors was located in Guangdong Province, which published 71 over 222 papers (31.98%). One hundred and forty nine papers (67.12%) were sponsored by single fund. The subject of fund sponsored articles were mainly in the field of retina (22.97%, 51/222), cornea (17.12%, 38/222) and lens (11.26%, 25/222).
The quantity and the level of fund sponsored articles had been improved greatly in ophthalmology journals. However, this is still inferior to other bio-scientific journals. The whole academic level of ophthalmology journals should be further promoted.
通过分析5种中文眼科期刊中受基金资助的文章,揭示其特征及科研状况。
选取2005年出版的5种中文眼科期刊(《中华眼科杂志》《眼外伤职业眼病杂志(附眼科手术)》《眼科研究》《实用眼科杂志》《眼底病杂志》)。采用定量分析方法计算受资助文章的数量、地区分布、合著者数量、研究方向、每篇文章获得的基金数量以及基金资助文章各研究领域的主题分布。
2005年发表的1745篇文章中,222篇获得各类基金资助(12.72%)。其中国家、省/部级及其他来源资助的文章分别占全部文章的4.70%、4.81%和3.21%。合著者数量最多为5.21人。作者所在地区最多的是广东省,在222篇文章中发表了71篇(31.98%)。149篇文章(67.12%)由单一基金资助。基金资助文章的主题主要集中在视网膜领域(22.97%,51/222)、角膜领域(17.12%,38/222)和晶状体领域(11.26%,25/222)。
眼科期刊中受基金资助文章的数量和水平有了很大提高。然而,仍低于其他生物科学期刊。眼科期刊的整体学术水平有待进一步提升。
