Various metrics have emerged for assessing scientific impact, most of which are based on complex calculations and, in many cases, are not freely available. Moreover, most of these metrics are not intended for assessing the scientific impact of research groups. Cumulative group metrics are proposed as an efficient and cost-effective strategy for measuring group scientific impact.
The authors collected peer-reviewed output in 2020 from two academic orthopedic surgery departments [University of Michigan (UM) and Mayo Clinic Rochester (MC)] and one medical device research department [Arthrex Inc. (AI)]. The sites evaluated the Cumulative Group Number of Publications (CGNP), Cumulative Journal Impact Factor (CJIF), Cumulative CiteScore (CCS), Cumulative SCImago Journal Rank (CSJR), and Cumulative Source Normalized Impact per Paper (CSNIP) for the three institutions.
In 2020, UM published 159 peer-reviewed studies, MC published 347 peer-reviewed studies, and AI supported 141 publications. The UM publications achieved a CJIF of 513, a CCS of 891, a CSJR of 255, and a CSNIP of 247. The MC publications achieved a CJIF of 956, a CCS of 1568, a CSJR of 485, and a CSNIP of 508. AI-supported publications achieved a CJIF of 314, a CCS of 598, a CSJR of 189, and a CSNIP of 189.
The presented cumulative group metrics are an effective tool to assess the scientific impact of a research group. The cumulative submetrics can further evaluate research groups compared with other departments due to field normalization. Department leadership and funding agencies can utilize these metrics to evaluate research output quantitatively and qualitatively.
已出现多种用于评估科学影响力的指标，其中大多数基于复杂计算，而且在很多情况下并非免费可得。此外，这些指标大多并非用于评估研究团队的科学影响力。累积团队指标被提议作为衡量团队科学影响力的一种高效且具成本效益的策略。
作者收集了2020年两个学术骨科手术科室[密歇根大学（UM）和梅奥诊所罗切斯特分院（MC）]以及一个医疗器械研究部门[Arthrex公司（AI）]的同行评审产出。这些机构评估了三个机构的出版物累积团队数量（CGNP）、期刊累积影响因子（CJIF）、累积CiteScore（CCS）、累积Scimago期刊排名（CSJR）以及每篇论文的累积源标准化影响力（CSNIP）。
2020年，UM发表了159篇同行评审研究，MC发表了347篇同行评审研究，AI支持了141篇出版物。UM的出版物获得的CJIF为513、CCS为891、CSJR为255、CSNIP为247。MC的出版物获得的CJIF为956、CCS为1568、CSJR为485、CSNIP为508。AI支持的出版物获得的CJIF为314、CCS为598、CSJR为189、CSNIP为189。
所呈现的累积团队指标是评估研究团队科学影响力的有效工具。由于领域标准化，累积子指标可进一步与其他科室比较评估研究团队。科室领导和资助机构可利用这些指标对研究产出进行定量和定性评估。
