The Integrated Evaluation about the Academic Impact of Chinese Researchers in Clinical Medical Science Based on Citation Analysis

摘要

Objective: To provide reference for researcher evaluation, comprehensive assessment for academic impact of researchers in clinical medical science has been done by multiple citation indicators. Methods: A factor analysis model for composite academic impact scores has been constructed for 10 Clinical PhD supervisors from Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Fu Wai Hospital with 7 indicators. And a correlation analysis for the performance of domestic and international academic impact has been done. Results: Two main factors Fl and F2 are extracted from the 7 indicators. The number of publications, total citations, h index and g index are larger load in the F1 main factor, cumulative impact factor is also the larger factor loading for the international academic influence, the average citations number and A index are the larger load on the main factors F2. Comprehensive evaluation scores of domestic academic impact and international academic impact showed moderate correlation. Conclusion: Citation analysis indicators can be classified into two types of factors, one is "total" and the other is "average", with the establishment of integrated academic impact assessment model. The clinical researchers with higher "average" indicator tend to have higher academic impact scores. The domestic academic impact and international academic influence should be assessed separately.
