To assess the academic influence of schistosomiasis control and research institutions in China.
The papers (including original articles and reviews) pertaining to schistosomiasis in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) of Web of Science (WOS) during the period from 2002 to 2012 were searched. The number of published papers, h index and citation frequencies of the papers of Chinese institutes and authors were analyzed by a bibliometric method, and the academic influences of the institutes and authors were assessed according to the number of published papers and h index. In addition, the scientific knowledge network map was plotted by using the CiteSpace II software to analyze the inter-institution academic collaboration network.
From 2002 to 2012, totally 610 papers pertaining to schistosomiasis were published by Chinese scholars, accounted for 16.7% of the published papers in global, and the quantity increased year by year. The number of published papers and h index of the National Institute of Parasitic Diseases (NIPD), China Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC) were 114 and 27, respectively, both of which were ranked at the first position among all the Chinese institutes, and in the academic collaboration network, the NIPD played a central and dominate part. Xiao-Nong Zhou with the h index of 17 became the outstanding academic leader in the research field of schistosomiasis control.
Both number of published papers in SCIE and h index of the Chinese institutes for schistosomiasis control are far inferior to the leading institutions in the world. It suggests that when strengthening the research and control of schistosomiasis, we should pay an attention to the output and sharing of the control experience and achievements.
评估中国血吸虫病防治与研究机构的学术影响力。
检索2002年至2012年期间Web of Science(WOS)的科学引文索引扩展版(SCIE)中与血吸虫病相关的论文(包括原创文章和综述)。采用文献计量学方法分析中国机构和作者发表论文的数量、h指数及论文被引频次,根据发表论文数量和h指数评估机构和作者的学术影响力。此外,利用CiteSpace II软件绘制科学知识网络图,分析机构间学术合作网络。
2002年至2012年,中国学者共发表610篇与血吸虫病相关的论文,占全球发表论文总数的16.7%,且数量逐年增加。中国疾病预防控制中心寄生虫病预防控制所(中国疾控中心寄生虫病所)发表论文数量和h指数分别为114篇和27,在所有中国机构中均排名第一,在学术合作网络中,中国疾控中心寄生虫病所发挥着核心和主导作用。h指数为17的周晓农成为血吸虫病防治研究领域杰出的学术带头人。
中国血吸虫病防治机构在SCIE发表论文数量和h指数均远低于世界领先机构。提示在加强血吸虫病防治研究时,应注重防治经验和成果的产出与分享。
