To assess the publication volume of Canadian ophthalmology departments over a 5-year period, 2005-2009.
Systematic review of the literature.
MEDLINE was searched for papers published from 2005 to 2009 where the designated affiliation corresponded to a Canadian ophthalmology department. The papers were sorted by year, university, and study design. A total impact score (the impact factor of the journal multiplied by the number of papers published in that journal per year) was also calculated for each university.
In the 5-year period there was an increasing trend in the total number of published ophthalmology papers. The University of Toronto had the highest number of published papers (224), followed by the University of British Columbia (143) and McGill University (120). The Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology published the most papers, followed by Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science. The most frequent study design category was basic science research and a total of 11 different randomized controlled trials were retrieved.
The publication volume of Canadian ophthalmology researchers increased significantly from 2005 to 2009 with larger institutions accounting for the majority of published papers. Like researchers in other countries, Canadian ophthalmology researchers preferred to publish in domestic journals.
评估加拿大眼科系 5 年来（2005-2009 年）的文献发表量。
文献系统性回顾。
检索 MEDLINE 自 2005 年至 2009 年发表的论文，其指定隶属关系对应于加拿大的一个眼科系。论文按年份、大学和研究设计进行分类。还为每所大学计算了总影响评分（期刊的影响因子乘以每年在该期刊上发表的论文数量）。
在 5 年期间，发表的眼科论文总数呈上升趋势。多伦多大学发表的论文最多（224 篇），其次是不列颠哥伦比亚大学（143 篇）和麦吉尔大学（120 篇）。《加拿大眼科杂志》发表的论文最多，其次是《眼科研究与视觉科学》。最常见的研究设计类别是基础科学研究，共检索到 11 项不同的随机对照试验。
2005 年至 2009 年，加拿大眼科研究人员的文献发表量显著增加，较大的机构占发表论文的大部分。与其他国家的研究人员一样，加拿大的眼科研究人员更愿意在国内期刊上发表论文。
