ABSTRACT
Introducción y objetivos. La Sociedad Española de Cardiología convoca anualmente becas para financiar proyectos de investigación en el campo de las enfermedades cardiovasculares. Nuestro objetivo es identificar la repercusión de estas inversiones durante el periodo 2000-2006 a partir de los artículos derivados de las becas y publicados en revistas científicas. Métodos. Utilizando los datos de identificación de cada proyecto como términos de búsqueda, se recuperaron todos los artículos derivados de estas becas en las bases de datos del Índice Médico Español, el Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud, el Science Citation Index-Expanded y Scopus. Los artículos se sometieron a un análisis estadístico descriptivo en relación con la tipología de las becas, la evolución anual de su número y de su importe, el sexo y las instituciones de los becados. Resultados. Se concedieron 207 becas con un importe total de 3.270.877 y una dotación media anual de 467.268 . De ellas, 123 (59,42%) aportaron publicaciones derivadas. El promedio de artículos publicados por beca concedida ha sido de 1,12, y de 1,9 si se tiene en cuenta únicamente las becas que dieron lugar a publicaciones. Conclusiones. Durante el periodo 2000-2006, la Sociedad Española de Cardiología/Fundación Española del Corazón destinó casi 500.000 anuales a financiar becas de investigación y así contribuir a luchar contra las enfermedades cardiovasculares. Casi el 60% de las becas han aportado publicaciones derivadas, 231 artículos. El 73% de los artículos se publicaron en revistas extranjeras y el 91,34%, en revistas españolas o extranjeras con factor de impacto en el Journal Citation Report (AU)
Introduction and objectives. The Sociedad Española de Cardiología (Spanish Society of Cardiology) every year awards grants to finance research in the field of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study is to identify the impact of these investments during the period 2000-2006 from the subsequently published articles in scientific journals. Methods. Using the identifying data of each project as search terms, all articles that resulted from these grants were located in the Spanish Índice Médico Español and Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud databases, and in Science Citation Index-Expanded and Scopus. Descriptive statistical analysis of these articles included type of grant, number and amount awarded per year, and the recipient's sex and institutional affiliation. Results. The Sociedad Española de Cardiología awarded 3 270 877 to 207 recipients, an average annual total of 467 268, We identified 231 publications that resulted from 123 (59.42%) of these grants. The average number of articles per grant awarded was 1.12, and 1.9 when taking into account only the awards that led to publication. Conclusions. During the period 2000 to 2006, the Sociedad Española de Cardiología/ Fundación Española del Corazón (Spanish Heart Foundation) provided about 500 000 per year to fund research grants, thereby contributing to the fight against cardiovascular diseases. Almost 60% of grants have led to publications, 73% of which were published in international journals, and 91.34% in national or international journals with an impact factor in the Journal Citation Reports (AU)
