ABSTRACT
Objective:To provide reference for the construction and development of medical colleges and universities by comparing the scientific research competitiveness of four newly-established medical universities in Shanghai, Shaanxi, Zhejiang and Fujian of China.Methods:Four young state-owned medical universities, founded successively from 2015 in Shanghai, Shaanxi, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, were selected as the research samples. Both CNKI and WoS databases were used to conduct comparative bibliometric analysis of high-quality literature published in core Chinese and foreign journals during 2016 to 2020 from such perspectives as number of papers, discipline distribution, source titles and funding, etc.Results:All four universities have displayed an increasing trend of publishing literature in core Chinese and foreign journals, but there are relatively fewer literature published in top international journals. The university from Shaanxi leads the other three with most indexes, and the two universities from Shanghai and Zhejiang stand close, while the one from Fujian lags behind, indicating a gap of scientific research competitiveness among the four.Conclusion:The reasons for the existing gap are potentially related to different college foundation and history, orientation and objectives, as well as the strength of scientific research team. Newly-built medical universities should keep deepening the comprehensive reform of medical education and strengthening comprehensive power of scientific research competitiveness.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate and analyze the differences of PhD student scientific research ability, employment and development among types of postgraduate students that admitted by various of doctoral admissions under the perspective of medical students to assess and optimize the existing applications-audit system (AAS).Methods:A self-compiled questionnaire was used to investigate the opinions of medical students at different grades and types on the AAS related issues. Excel and SPSS were used to perform frequency statistics, chi-square test and independent sample t-test. Results:The PhD enrolled from AAS tended to complete the paper-publication at first and second year (38.71%, 12/31; 35.48%, 11/31), while unified enrollment (UE) tended to complete in the second year (33.33%, 10/30) and seven-year degree (SYD) in the third year (40.54%, 15/37) ( P=0.021). In terms of the value of the materials required in the application stage to the doctoral research, 74.19%(23/31) of AAS students and 48.65%(18/37) of SYD students believed that scientific research results were the most helpful to the doctoral research process, while UE believed that English helped the most (26.67%, 8/30), with significant differences among groups ( P=0.002). In terms of fair recognition of enrollment in the application system, 71.53% (304/425) of graduate students believed that AAS for doctoral enrollment was fair. The institution ( P=0.001) and type of master's degree ( P=0.001) significantly affected graduate students' recognition of the fairness of AAS. Conclusion:The degree and speed of dissertation completion of the AAS PhD are prior, reflecting the advantages of AAS in the cultivation of medical doctors' scientific academic ability and achievements. The AAS plays a significant role in enhancing the reserve of high-level scientific researchers in China, and has a high recognition and influence in medical students. In the future, the application examination system will be optimized to create the most suitable way for doctoral enrollment in China.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the current situation of major projects undertaken by medical colleges and universities in China, and the medical research competitiveness and its changing trend.Methods:Based on the data of National Key R & D Program, the research competitiveness and trend of medical subject in ten medical colleges and universities with strong competitiveness in medical scientific research during 2016-2020 were analyzed by range ratio, coefficient of variation and competitiveness index.Results:Ten medical colleges and universities have undertaken 459 projects of National Key R & D Program, and have been funded 5 788 million yuan of central financial funds. From 2016 to 2020, the coefficient of variation of National Key R & D Program on major medical colleges and universities increased from 56.25% to 62.91%. The change trend of competitiveness index shows that the medical research competitiveness in universities with strong initial competitiveness has increased, while the weaker ones decreased.Conclusions:Projects of National Key R & D Program undertaken by medical colleges and universities have a large volume and high support intensity. National Key R & D Program on the whole presents the Matthew effect, and the competitiveness of medical scientific research has been differentiated. There is an obvious trend of interdisciplinary integration between medical discipline and other disciplines in the process of undertaking projects of National Key R & D Program.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the current status of research competitiveness of medical subjects in China.Methods Analyzing the fund of Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) in 2017 and using the Range ratio and Theil Index to describe the dispersion and source of difference.Regional research competitiveness of Chinese medical subjects is measured by the attraction and accumulation capacity of NSFC.Results The research competitiveness of medical subjects in East China and South China are stronger,and those in the Northwest are weaker.The distribution of medical funds mainly originated from the interior (88.88％),among which the East China and North China are the two regions with the largest contribution rate.In terms of provinces,Shanghai and Beijing have a much higher concentration of medical funds than other provinces.Condusions The Research competitiveness in inter-regional medical subjects in China is quite different,and the differences mainly stem from the competition of internal provinces;the degree of advantages of medical subjects in regions is different,and there are medical research centers in ever regions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the scientific development direction in medical institutions under the new health care reform,and provide a reference for promotion of scientific innovation and development of medical institutions in Beijing.Methods Through analyzing the fund of Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) in 2016,scientific competitive power of medical institutions in Beijing was explored from the aspect of project type,subject classification and talent training.Results The NSFC by medical institutions in Beijing mainly focused on medical science department (92.68％),of which corresponding subjects were mainly oncology,neural and mental disease and traditional Chinese medicine.The project approved rates of tertiary hospitals subordinate to country and Beijing were 43.46％ and 29.22％,respectively.Only a few dispersing talent projects were obtained.Conclusions Funds and approved rate of NSFC increased.Medical institutions in Beijing had relatively strong scientific competitive power in the fundamental researches of major and difficult diseases,and traditional Chinese medicine.Fundamental researches,talent training,research team building and international cooperation should be improved in the further.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a scientific evaluation index system for medical service scientific research competitiveness for government assessment.Methods The evaluation indexes and their weights were determined after two rounds Delphi consultation.Results Construct a hierachical index system composed of three groups,namely investment,output and effects,including three first class index,13 second ones and 50 third ones after two rounds Delphi consultation.Conclusions The index system has reasonable structure and comprehensive contents,reflecting the core idea of scientific research competitiveness evaluation.
ABSTRACT
Objective We try to find the current situation of Hangzhou health research.Methods Using established evaluation index system to evaluate 8 medical service.Results Scientific research development level of 8 medical service is unbalanced,but input-output is balance.Conclusions According to the appraisal results,we suggest reduce the gap among the scientific level of medical service,train high-level personnel,strengthen the construction of key discipline and specialties,create the atmosphere of project application,and establish scientific research incentive system.
