Bibliometric analyses are an important tool for evaluating health research outputs in terms of their distribution, trends, contributors, focus, and funding sources. The transition from millennium to sustainable development goals has led to a gradual shift in the health policy, and possibly, research priorities of low-income settings in the Empowered Action Group (EAG) states lagging in socioeconomic and health parameters, and also ranking low on innovations and research. In this study, we depict the recent trends, quantity, type, focus, and sources of health-related research in the EAG state of Odisha, India.
Peer-reviewed published original research articles related to human health published between 1 January, 2011 and 31 December, 2020 and where the study population was the residents of Odisha, or the study site was in Odisha, exclusively or partially, were analyzed. The publication characteristics were tabulated, including the title, journal name, open access, date of publication, number of authors, designation of the authors, number of institutes involved, and name of the institute of the first author. The details of the study setting, study site, ethical clearance, and funding source were also analyzed.
The study identified 2,285 articles from database searches and included 666 articles after screening for bibliometric analysis. Most of the manuscripts had between three and six authors (43.5%). Two institutes from the state, the Regional Medical Research Center (ICMR-RMRC) and Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), together contributed to 22.4% of the published manuscripts. Nearly 45.9% of the studies were community-based while 45.3% were hospital-based. While most of the published work was on infectious diseases, the proportion came down with time. An overwhelming majority of the studies were observational and less than 10% were experimental in design.
The analysis shows a substantial increase in the number of publications in this decade. Priority setting of healthcare problems, increased funding, and capacity-building can give a much-necessitated impetus to more quality- and evidence-based research for aiding policy implementation and improvement of the overall health.
文献计量分析是评估卫生研究产出在分布、趋势、贡献者、重点和资金来源等方面的重要工具。从千年发展目标向可持续发展目标的转变导致了卫生政策的逐渐转变，并且在社会经济和卫生参数方面滞后的赋权行动小组（EAG）邦的低收入地区的研究重点可能也发生了变化，这些地区在创新和研究方面的排名也较低。在本研究中，我们描述了印度奥里萨邦这个EAG邦近期卫生相关研究的趋势、数量、类型、重点和来源。
分析了2011年1月1日至2020年12月31日期间发表的与人类健康相关的同行评审原创研究文章，这些研究的研究对象是奥里萨邦居民，或者研究地点全部或部分在奥里萨邦。将出版特征制成表格，包括标题、期刊名称、开放获取情况、出版日期、作者数量、作者职称、涉及的机构数量以及第一作者所在机构的名称。还分析了研究背景、研究地点、伦理批准和资金来源的详细信息。
该研究通过数据库检索识别出2285篇文章，经过筛选后纳入666篇进行文献计量分析。大多数手稿有三到六位作者（43.5%）。该邦的两个机构，即区域医学研究中心（ICMR - RMRC）和卡林加工业技术学院（KIIT），共同贡献了22.4%的已发表手稿。近45.9%的研究基于社区，而45.3%基于医院。虽然大多数已发表的工作是关于传染病的，但这一比例随着时间下降。绝大多数研究是观察性的，设计为实验性的研究不到10%。
分析表明这十年间出版物数量大幅增加。确定医疗保健问题的优先级、增加资金投入和能力建设可以为更多基于质量和证据的研究提供急需的推动力，以帮助政策实施和改善整体健康状况。
