中国医院作者在PLoS ONE上发文情况分析

Papers published in PLoS One by hospitals in China

目的:探究PLo S ONE在中国特别是医院掀起热潮的深层次原因、所刊载论文质量、正确认识医院SCI论文热等问题。方法:检索中国医院在PLo S ONE上发表的论文,并从发文数量、发文机构和基金资助等方面进行统计分析。结果:2007年至2015年10月PLo S ONE共刊载中国医院论文9 739篇,篇均被引5.29次,发文作者所在医院多为高等院校、科研院所附属医院或教学医院,约87.78%的论文获各类基金资助。结论:学科综合、开放存取、投稿接受比例高和刊发速度快等特点使PLo S ONE备受青睐;中国医院在PLo S ONE发表的论文质量一般,篇均被引次数没有达到我国8.14次的平均水平;医院发表SCI论文,不应作为医院各项工作考评的唯一标准。

Objective To study the reasons why PLoS One has set off an upsurge in China especially in hospitals, the academic level of papers published in PLoS One, and how to correctly judge the SCI-covered papers published by hospitals. Methods Papers published in PLoS One by hospitals in China were retrieved. The number of papers published in PLoS One by hospitals in China, the institutions that published the papers in PLoS One, and the num- ber of fund-supported papers were analyzed. Results A total of 9739 papers were published in PLoS One by hospitals in China from 2007 to October 2015, with an average cited frequency of 5.29. The majority of authors who published the papers were from affiliated hospitals of scientific research institutions and teaching hospitals of colleges and uni- versities. Of the 9739 papers, 87.78% were supported by funds from different foundations. Conclusion Nothing is strike about the academic level of papers published in PLoS One by hospitals in China with their average cited fre- quency lower than that （8.14） in our country. The SCI-covered papers published by hospitals should not be con- sidered as the only criterion in assessing the performances of staff in hospitals.
