《中华医学杂志英文版》与国际顶级医学期刊的载文特征剖析

Analysis of Characteristics of Articles Published in Chinese Medical Journal and Top International Medical Journals

探讨《中华医学杂志英文版》(CMJ)、《新英格兰医学杂志》(NEJM)、《美国医学会杂志》(JAMA)和《柳叶刀》(Lancet)杂志发表的文章类型及研究方向情况,为我国医学期刊结构的优化和国际影响力提升提供参考。采用Clarivate Analytics incites数据库搜集、筛选及分析等方法逐期浏览2017—2019年CMJ与NEJM、JAMA、Lancet发表文章的研究方向及其类型,共计筛选CMJ72期,NEJM、Lancet杂志各156期和JAMA144期。研究发现CMJ与NEJM、JAMA和Lancet杂志相比,其发表的论著明显偏多(占比分别为71.0%、23.5%、17.8%和16.2%),而述评(占比分别为2.0%、4.8%、8.1%和13.0%)、读者来信(占比分别为10.0%、52.2%、26.9%和26.5%)等文章类型明显偏少。同时,总体而言,CMJ所刊发的高被引论文(如肿瘤学、普通内科和心血管系统等)研究内容还是紧跟世界前沿与医学重点研究方向的,但在国际上高引用的涉及胃肠及肝脏病、感染性疾病、呼吸系统疾病等方面的医学研究相对较少,关注度偏低。CMJ作为国内最悠久的综合性医学期刊,今后需要对刊发的文章类型、研究方向与内容做适当筛选和优化,使其学科分布更好地与生物医学发展趋势相适应,以进一步提高杂志的国际化进程和影响力,努力树立我国期刊的国际化品牌旗帜。

The types and research directions of articles published in the Chinese Medical Journal(CMJ),New England Journal of Medicine(NEJM),Journal of the American Medical Association(JAMA),and Lancet are explored to provide reference for optimizing the structure of Chinese medical journals and improving their international influence.All articles published in the CMJ,NEJM,JAMA and Lancet covered in Clarivate Analytics inCites between 2017 and 2019 are analyzed,including CMJ 72 issues,NEJM and Lancet 156 issues,and JAMA 144 issues,respectively.Compared to NEJM,JAMA and Lancet,the percentage of original articles was very high in CMJ(71.0%,23.5%,17.8%and 16.2%,respectively),and the types of articles such as reviews(2.0%,4.8%,8.1%and 13.0%,respectively)and reader letters(10.0%,52.2%,26.9%and 26.5%,respectively)were significantly less.At the same time,the research content of the highly cited papers published in CMJ(such as oncology,general internal medicine and cardiovascular system)is closely following the world's leading edge and key medical research interests,but the internationally highly cited medical research involving gastrointestinal and liver diseases,infectious diseases,respiratory diseases and other aspects is relatively small,with low attention.As the oldest comprehensive medical journal in China,CMJ needs to appropriately screen and optimize the types of articles,research interests,and content published in order to better adapt its disciplinary distribution to the development trend of biomedical science,further improve the internationalization process and influence of the journal,and strive to establish the international brand flag of Chinese journals.
