Continuous evaluation of research performance is an effective tool for financial and human resource allocation to promote knowledge production by academic institutions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the scientific performance of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (IUMS) from April 2010 to April 2011 in the national medical research ranking.
This cross sectional study was carried out through running advanced searches in the national, local and international information databases and other websites. Then the data were analyzed in order to demonstrate IUMS scientific production and research status at a national level.
From April 2010 to April 2011, about 9% of total Iranian medical articles, 6% of total Iranian ISI indexed articles in medical science and 12% of Iranian PubMed indexed articles affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Although Isfahan University of Medical Sciences stood at the third place in the annual national research ranking, but it was first in the scientific growth among Iranian medical universities.
The study indicated that Isfahan University of Medical Sciences witnessed striking improvement in scientific productivity, research performance and national research grade during 2010-2011.
持续评估研究表现是学术机构进行资金和人力资源分配以促进知识产出的有效工具。本研究的目的是评估伊斯法罕医科大学在2010年4月至2011年4月期间在全国医学研究排名中的科研表现。
这项横断面研究通过在国家、本地和国际信息数据库以及其他网站上进行高级搜索来开展。然后对数据进行分析，以展示伊斯法罕医科大学在国家层面的科研产出和研究状况。
在2010年4月至2011年4月期间，伊朗医学文章总数的约9%、伊朗医学领域被ISI索引文章总数的6%以及伊朗被PubMed索引文章中的12%隶属于伊斯法罕医科大学。尽管伊斯法罕医科大学在年度全国研究排名中位列第三，但在伊朗医科大学中其科研增长排名第一。
该研究表明，伊斯法罕医科大学在2010 - 2011年期间科研生产力、研究表现和国家研究排名有显著提升。
