Background The Senior Department of Ophthalmology includes eight medical centers of ophthalmology. In this study, we evaluate the basic Scientific research Capacity of the Senior Department of Ophthalmology in bibliometrics, so as to provide references for future scientific research development directions and scientific research decisions.
Objective To carry out literature statistics and analysis on the papers published by the Senior Department of Ophthalmology of Chinese PLA General Hospital from 2015 to 2019, so as to provide reference for the development and management of scientific research in the future.
Methods The scientific papers published by the staff of the Department of Ophthalmology as the first author/corresponding author in CNKI, Wanfang and Web of Science databases from 2015 to 2019 were classified according to SCI, Chinese Medicine Association series, core periodicals of Chinese science and technology and non-core periodicals, and the impact factors (IF), research directions and project funding were measured, and bibliometric, descriptive and comparative methods were applied.
Results From 2015 to 2019, the Senior Department of Ophthalmology published 474 Chinese and SCI papers when searched by first author or corresponding author, with 130, 122,110, 61 and 51 papers in each year. Totally 157 SCI papers were published within 5 years, and the IF of a single article ranged from 0.166 to 5.546, with an average of 2.31. The research type was mainly basic research, focusing on fundus diseases, neuro-ophthalmology and corneal diseases. Funded resources were reported 352 times, mainly from "National Natural Science Foundation of China", "National 973 Program" and "National 863 Program".
Conclusion The number of papers published by the Senior Department of Ophthalmology is relatively stable from 2015 to 2017, while that in 2018 and 2019 reduce significantly. The published papers are funded by multi-channel fund projects. The number of high-quality papers needs to be improved, and there is still a certain gap between the paper output ability and the key research institutes in the same field.
