The Publishing and Influencing Factors of Medical Papers in Hospitals

Abstract

Objective To promote the level of scientific research management in hospitals and provide a scientific basis for publishing high level papers. Methods Use bibliometric method to analyze the papers published in our hospital from 2010 to 2014; use Logistic model to analyze the related factors that influence publication; use SE-DEA model to analyze input and output efficiency. Results During past five years, our hospital has published 758 papers, most of them published in general journals and focusing on neurology, cardiovascular internal medicine, and clinical laboratory. Most authors were with senior and intermediate professional titles (75.59%) and about 26.65% of the total core journals were published by them. The most important determinants were author’s title and educational level. Authors’ age and working time were also important. Compared with output efficiency from 2010 to 2012, the efficiency from 2013 to 2014 was lower. The input redundancy was higher for authors with high-titled researchers and also higher supported by municipal than by Provincial finance. Conclusions The general quality of our hospital’s medical papers was not high. The scientific research capability of medical staff, especially high-titled staff, was insufficient. The hospital should aim at strengthening its guidance, evaluation, and motivation in terms of technical staff’s research capability. Besides, the staffs, who were responsible for the provincial research projects, could take the role as research leaders to improve scientific research level of medical personnel.
