ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Introduction: Scientometrics is the field concerned with measuring and analyzing academic literature, using specific metrics and data from bibliometric databases. Hematology is a broad area of science and medicine, from which several landmark scientific discoveries have emerged. Objective: The aim of this report is to provide a snapshot of the landscape of hematology research in Brazil, based on a comprehensive analysis of published studies in hematology whose authors were affiliated to Brazilian institutions from 1980 to 2020. Method: Articles, reviews and letters to the editor with at least one author affiliated to a Brazilian institution were retrieved from Incytes/Web of Science or Scopus databases. Importantly, only papers classified in the subject area "Hematology" by the embedded algorithms of each database were included. Results: Considering all published papers, Brazil is in the 22nd position, contributing with around 1.1% of papers in this period. A clear and sustained increase in publication output can be observed from the early 1990's to the present moment. Publicly-funded higher education institutions were the main contributors to the development and consolidation of the hematology scientific community, which has grown in diversity, with an increasing number of contributions from private institutions. In regard to funding, public agencies have been and remain by large as the most important funder of research in hematology in Brazil. Conclusion: We suggest that continuous monitoring of the temporal trends of some of the data compiled in our report could potentially contribute to a clearer picture of the development of hematology research in Brazil.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND@#Research is the act of inquiry to know and is one of the pivotal points and fundamental goals of a university. It is an important part of an academic job and is believed to be the next most valued part of their duty after teaching@*OBJECTIVES@#This study aims to determine the research productivity of Nigerian academics in medicine and allied health sciences disciplines in Nigeria. @*METHODOLOGY@#177 participants completed a 41- items questionnaire that elicits information on sociodemographic, the institution, the program, and research productivity (research papers, conferences attendance and presentation, and book chapters) using a multistage cluster random sampling of Nigerian Universities.@*RESULTS@#Majority of the included participants were male (70.06%), married (79.14%), and below the senior teaching cadre (38.99%). Majority of the academicians do not have any training overseas (67.06%) and have indicated time as a constraint to research productivity (67.06%). Three papers in the past two years is an indication that Nigerian academics in the medical and allied health sciences, on average, may not be deemed to be highly productive. Professors (16.58+27.14) and those in higher ranks (Readers: 11.84+11.22 and senior lectures 12.58+13.53) have published more papers than their counterparts in the junior cadre (lecturer I and II: 4.87+6.58 and 2.69+3.87). Academics in the present study has a median research grant of zero in the past two years. A simple majority of the participants (55.29%) agree on mandating of PhD for promotion and career advancement of academics. There is no difference in the number of papers published (6.04+10.52 and 7.62+13.21) or conferences attended (7.42+19.14 and 4.04 +4.02) between academics in private and public Universities@*CONCLUSION@#Apparently low and dismal productivity by these academics in medicine and allied health sciences affirm the need for capacity building on an ongoing basis.
ABSTRACT
El enigma mas grande de un investigador después de haber llevado a cabo un trabajo de investigación es conocer el alcance que sus aportes hacen al conocimiento. Una de las premisas que validan una buena idea de investigación es que ésta llene un vacío, resuelva un tema o aporte información precisa y relevante en la construcción un problema científico específico, sin embargo, se requiere de un indicador que nos permita estimar si hemos alcanzado o no el objetivo final de una investigación. Se han desarrollado métodos para realizar la estimación que tanto nos preocupa hoy a los investigadores, hasta hace unos años el método mas popular fue el Factor de Impacto, propuesto por Eugene Garfield en la revista Sicence (1), sin embargo, con el propósito de realizar un abordaje integral y holístico de la evaluación de la producción científica y enfocándose en la relevancia e impacto de ésta a largo plazo se propuso un nuevo método de estimación el índice H. La nueva propuesta se aleja del abordaje tradicional basado en la medición del rendimiento en investigación mediante el conteo de citaciones de revistas, teniendo en cuenta que los trabajos publicados por un autor pueden no estar citados en una revista con un factor de impacto alto, tomar la posición de la revista como sustento de la calidad individual puede llevar, definitivamente a sesgos, por otro lado, las revistas científicas que centran su publicación en artículos de revisión podrían tener mayor factor de impacto y una mejor posición que otra sin representar necesariamente una mayor calidad de la información, ya que la probabilidad de tener una mayor citación de éste tipo de publicaciones es mayor que la que se observa con la divulgación de una investigación original. El Índice H propuesto por Jorge E. Hirsch en 2005, integra en un valor único la productividad científica dada por el número de artículos publicados y su impacto; este último, determinado por el número de citas recibidas (2). Si bien el Índice H fue concebido inicialmente por su autor para medir el rendimiento obtenido al final de la carrera profesional del científico, también se puede usar para medir el impacto de las propias revistas especializadas donde estos autores publicaron los resultados de sus investigaciones (3). Las mediciones pueden realizarse para distintas ventanas de tiempo: anual, quincenal, mensual, etc.Una de las ventajas que ofrece el Índice H es que por basarse en el número total de citas, y no solamente en las cifras acumuladas durante un periodo de dos años (como el factor de impacto) ni en la calidad de la revista donde se encuentran las citas, puede obtenerse rápidamente a partir de la mayoría de las bases de datos existentes en la actualidad. Dado que este sistema de medición no sobreestima a unos pocos artículos publicados por una revista, pero que pueden llegar a ser muy citados, ni subestima a muchos artículos publicados por una revista, los cuales pueden llegar a ser poco citados, muchos investigadores consideran que su aplicación constituye una alternativa para tomar una buena decisión a la hora de publicar sus trabajos. En conclusión el índice H es el nuevo estimador del impacto de las publicaciones científicas y bajo este indicador se regirá la medición del alcance de la producción científica de la Otorrinolaringología en Colombia y el mundo. Nuestra revista no es ajena a estos cambios por lo que la generación de meta-datos de los artículos y otras estrategias que hemos adoptado para mejorar la visibilidad y calidad en la referenciación de las publicaciones de la ACORL nos llevarán con el tiempo a alcanzar las estimaciones ideales de relevancia de las publicaciones científicas. El mensaje final es recordar que el objetivo de los trabajos de investigación debe ir mas allá de lograr una publicación, debemos aportar al conocimiento con los productos que genere la indagación de un tema a través del método científico, tratando de alcanzar calidad, relevancia, impacto y visibilidad de nuestra producción científica.

@#Objective: Epilepsy is understudied in Southeast Asian (SEA) countries. This systematic review aimed to determine the number of epilepsy publications performed in SEA and identify factors associated with research output in this region. Methods: Existing academic journal article searches were performed using PubMed, Scopus, Medline and Web of Science till 1st March 2018. Openness is determined by the use of English in medical school and overseas epilepsy fellowship. Results: A total of 702 epilepsy articles have been published in the last 50 years in the SEA region, with an exponential increase of publications after the year 1997, with the cumulative number doubled every 5 years. Only half (54%) were published in the journals with impact factor (IF) ≥1. Majority of the publications (48.2%) employed cross sectional design, followed by animal or laboratory studies (21.1%), with few randomized controlled trials and systematic review/meta-analysis studies (1.7% and 2.3%, respectively). Half (52.9%) of the publications were clinical studies. The number of papers with IF≥1 correlated positively with openness to international standard (R=0.720, p<0.05), and knowledge-based economy (p=0.01). Conclusion: Epilepsy research output in SEA is low in quantity and quality. The output is mainly related to the type of economy (knowledge-based or non-knowledge-based) and openness to international ideas and standard.

ABSTRACT
A comprehensive review was conducted to evaluate characteristics of the innovative research fund in a military hospital during past five years.We created a special index system according to the features of this innovative research fund:short supporting period,less amount of funding,and strict limit to the pre-study with the combination of common Research Performance Indicators.We use this index system to evaluate all finished projects and scored their performance.Other factors,such as research area,age of researchers,and job title,were also combined to analyze the relationship between funded research performance and fund characteristics.We found that all projects with higher performance score in past 5 years were conducted by young researchers,while this meets our original intention that using this fund to support junior scientists.In addition,we also found that the process of project assessment was fire and scientific,and funding for key research disciplines provided high level research outcomes.
ABSTRACT
After the indexes of article count, fraction count, weighted fraction count, and domestic and interna-tional collaboration ratio were calculated using the 2014 nature index of life science issued by British Nature Pub-lishing Group as the data source, the 2014 scientific research outputs in life science of some domestic colleges and universities were analyzed with certain suggestions put forward for reducing the gap in scientific research strength between China and USA.
ABSTRACT
To inspire the research passion and improve the research capacity,we formulated the appraisal plan on research output of departments every five years.There are other annual awards for scientific research output.Then we can timely know the scientific progress of every department and the scientific research output has been improved.Some ideas of the plan should be reserved,such as,determination of assessment period,encouragement of collaboration,operational approaches,adjustable goals etc.The assessment criteria are supposed to be adjusted based on the classification of research capacity.
