摘要
目的：本研究旨在评估美国学术界眼科医生的研究活动与美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）资助状况之间的关系：对文献计量数据进行了回顾性横截面分析。利用美国国立卫生研究院研究组合在线报告工具支出和报告（rePORTER）网站，确定美国接受美国国立卫生研究院资助的眼科部门。然后通过 NIH rePORTER 和机构网站确定了这些机构的附属教师。使用 Scopus 数据库计算 H 指数，并使用 NIH iCite 工具确定相对引用比 (RCR)。h-index 和 w-RCR 量化了研究生产力，而 m-RCR 则衡量了研究影响力：我们确定了来自 66 个院系的 2688 名教师的数据，其中 21% 由美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）资助。根据 h 指数（32.5 对 16.6；p p p h 指数（16.1 对 7.9；p p p 结论：获得美国国立卫生研究院资助的教职员工的研究生产力和影响力明显更高：美国国立卫生研究院的资助与美国学术界眼科医生较高的研究生产率和影响力相关（以 h 指数和 RCR 衡量），这表明美国国立卫生研究院的资助可能是提高眼科医生学术贡献的关键因素。 这些发现强调了继续投资美国国立卫生研究院资金以促进眼科领域内高影响力研究的重要性。
Evaluating Research Activity and NIH-Funding Among Academic Ophthalmologists Using Relative Citation Ratio.
Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between research activity and National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding status of the United States (US) academic ophthalmologists.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of bibliometric data was conducted. The NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools Expenditures and Reports (rePORTER) website was utilized to identify ophthalmology departments in the US that received NIH funding. Affiliated faculty from these institutions were then identified using NIH rePORTER and institutional websites. H-index was calculated using the Scopus database, and the NIH iCite tool was used to determine the Relative Citation Ratio (RCR). The h-index and w-RCR quantified research productivity, while m-RCR measured research impact.
Results: Data on 2688 faculty members from 66 departments we re identified, of which 21% were NIH-funded. Faculty members who received NIH-funding had significantly greater research productivity and impact as measured by h-index (32.5 vs 16.6; p < .001), m-RCR (2.2 vs 1.6; p < .001), and w-RCR (147.2 vs 70.1; p < .001) than their non-funded peers. When stratified by academic rank, NIH-funded faculty still had significantly higher h-index (16.1 vs 7.9; p < .001), m-RCR (2.2 vs 1.4; p < .001), and w-RCR (63.2 vs 61.8; p < .001) than non-funded peers. A similar trend was observed among non-tenured faculty members.
Conclusion: NIH funding is associated with higher research productivity and impact among US academic ophthalmologists as measured by h-index and RCR, which suggests that NIH funding may be a critical factor in enhancing scholarly contributions of ophthalmologists. These findings underscore the importance of continued investment in NIH funding to foster high-impact research within the field of ophthalmology.
