The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) National Resource Center for Health Information Technology (NRC) created the Health IT Bibliography that contains peer-reviewed articles in eleven different health informatics categories. To create the bibliography, informatics experts identified what they considered the seminal articles in each category.
Using the same eleven categories, an expert searcher (librarian) compiled a list of the "best" health informatics articles using information seeking and retrieval tools. The two sets of articles were then compared using high citation counts as a measure of value.
The expert searcher set (8,230) contained more than 3 times the citations to chosen articles compared to the content expert set (2,382). Of 60 articles, 27% of those articles (n = 16) were included in both sets. The frequently cited journals were similar for both sets, and one-third of the same authors were cited in both sets.
While citation counts and the timeliness of the articles differed in the two sets, the same authors and same journals were frequently present in both sets.
A best practice for locating high-quality articles may be collaboration between expert searchers and content experts.
医疗保健研究与质量局（AHRQ）的国家卫生信息技术资源中心（NRC）创建了健康信息技术文献目录，其中包含11个不同健康信息学类别的同行评审文章。为了创建该文献目录，信息学专家确定了他们认为每个类别中的开创性文章。
使用相同的11个类别，一位专家检索者（图书管理员）使用信息搜索和检索工具编制了一份“最佳”健康信息学文章列表。然后，以高引用次数作为价值衡量标准，对这两组文章进行比较。
与内容专家组（2382次）相比，专家检索者组（8230次）对所选文章的引用次数多出3倍以上。在60篇文章中，27%（n = 16）的文章同时包含在两组中。两组中经常被引用的期刊相似，两组中都有三分之一的相同作者被引用。
虽然两组文章的引用次数和时效性有所不同，但两组中经常出现相同的作者和期刊。
寻找高质量文章的最佳做法可能是专家检索者和内容专家之间的合作。
