BACKGROUND
The evaluation of translational health research is important for various reasons such as the research impact assessment, research funding allocation, accountability, and strategic research policy formulation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the research productivity, strength and diversity of research collaboration networks and impact of research supported by a large biomedical research centre in the United Kingdom (UK).
METHODS
Bibliometric analysis of research publications by translational researchers affiliated with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) from April 2012 to March 2017.
RESULTS
Analysis included 2377 translational research publications that were published during the second 5-year funding period of the NIHR Oxford BRC. Author details were available for 99.75% of the publications with DOIs (2359 of 2365 with DOIs), and the number of authors per publication was median 9 (mean = 18.03, SD = 3.63, maximum = 2467 authors). Author lists also contained many consortia, groups, committees, and teams (n = 165 in total), with 1238 additional contributors, where membership was reported. The BRC co-authorship i.e., research collaboration network for these publications involved 20,229 nodes (authors, of which 1606 nodes had Oxford affiliations), and approximately 4.3 million edges (authorship linkages). Articles with a valid DOIs (2365 of 2377, 99.5%) were collectively cited more than 155,000 times and the average Field Citation Ratio was median 6.75 (geometric mean = 7.12) while the average Relative Citation Ratio was median 1.50 (geometric mean = 1.83) for the analysed publications.
CONCLUSIONS
The NIHR Oxford BRC generated substantial translational research publications and facilitated a huge collaborative network of translational researchers working in complex structures and consortia, which shows success across the whole of this BRC funding period. Further research involving continued uptake of unique persistent identifiers and the tracking of other research outputs such as clinical innovations and patents would allow a more detailed understanding of large research enterprises such as NIHR BRCs in the UK.
背景
评估转化健康研究具有重要意义，原因有多种，如研究影响力评估、研究资金分配、问责制以及战略研究政策制定等。本研究旨在评估英国（UK）一家大型生物医学研究中心支持的转化研究人员的研究成果、研究合作网络的实力和多样性及其研究影响力。
方法
对国家健康研究所（NIHR）牛津转化医学研究中心（BRC）从 2012 年 4 月至 2017 年 3 月期间的转化研究出版物进行文献计量分析。
结果
分析包括在 NIHR 牛津 BRC 的第二个 5 年资助期内发表的 2377 篇转化研究论文。99.75%的出版物都有作者详细信息（2359 篇有 DOI 的出版物），且每篇论文的作者数中位数为 9（平均值=18.03，标准差=3.63，最大值=2467 位作者）。作者列表中还包含许多联盟、团体、委员会和团队（共 165 个），其中有 1238 名额外的贡献者，报告了他们的成员身份。BRC 合著者，即这些出版物的研究合作网络，涉及 20229 个节点（作者，其中 1606 个节点具有牛津隶属关系），以及大约 430 万条边（作者联系）。具有有效 DOI 的文章（2365 篇中有 2377 篇，占 99.5%）被引用超过 155000 次，平均领域引文率中位数为 6.75（几何平均值为 7.12），平均相对引文率中位数为 1.50（几何平均值为 1.83）。
结论
NIHR 牛津 BRC 产生了大量的转化研究出版物，并为从事复杂结构和联盟的转化研究人员构建了庞大的合作网络，这表明在整个 BRC 资助期间取得了成功。进一步的研究包括持续采用独特的持久标识符，并跟踪其他研究成果，如临床创新和专利，将有助于更深入地了解英国类似 NIHR BRC 这样的大型研究机构。
