Study on optimization of the scientific research influence indicator system for tertiary hospitals in China / 中华医学科研管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To optimize the indicator system of the scientific research influence of the tertiary hospitals in China for future use.Methods 200 tertiary hospitals was randomly selected in China and the indicator data were collected.Statistics methodologies including coefficient of variation,coefficient of correlation and principal component analysis were adopted to screen the indictors.Results 3 indicators including the number of researchers,the number of drug clinical trial institution and the cited frequency of the Chinese papers were removed in the new indicator system.There was high correlation between the modified indicator system and the primary one.Conclusions The optimized indictor system in our study is scientific and simple.It can be used for evaluating the scientific research influence of the tertiary hospitals in China.
