江苏省老年医学研究状况的文献计量学分析

目的 对江苏省老年医学领域的研究状况及发展方向作初步评析,旨在揭示江苏省老年医学研究的特点及规律. 方法以中国知网、中国学术期刊网络出版总库为数据来源,检索1998-2007年江苏省老年医学基础与临床相关文献.采用文献计量学的方法及SPSS 13.0统计软件Mann-Whitney Test方法,对江苏省老年医学文献量与年代分布、作者的地市分布、文献作者与文献量的规律、文献获基金资助状况以及文献在老年医学领域的学科分布情况进行统计分析. 结果江苏省老年医学10年文献量为4623篇,占全国老年医学文献量的7.72%;江苏省苏南地区文献量高于苏北地区和苏中地区(均P＜0.001);发表1篇文献的作者占作者总数的81.51%;作者单位间合作的文献占总文献的12.24%;10年获基金资助文献数共212篇,后5年与前5年相比差异有统计学意义(P＜0.001).文献共涉及医学的39个学科,其中老年心血管内科的文献量最高,占总数的14.56%. 结论江苏省老年医学进展相对缓慢,各地区及老年医学各学科发展不均衡,核心作者队伍正在形成之中.提示了江苏省应该树立老年医学学科的威信,加强老年医学研究的投入,向大型的、合作的、综合的、跨学科、跨机构的研究方向发展,以点带面,促进全省老年医学的深入发展.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the current situation and development of geriatrics in Jiangsu Province, and to find out the characteristics and trend in development of geriatrics in Jiangsu Province. Methods The literatures in geriatric field of Jiangsu Province from 1998 to 2007 were collected from the database, www. cnki.net. Bibliometric methods and Mann-Whitney Test (performed by SPSS) were used to analyze the distribution of time, area, author, fund and discipline of the literatures. Results The total number of the literatures about geriatrics of Jiangsu Province from 1998 to 2007 was 4623, accounting for 7.72% of the total number of the literatures about geriatrics of China. The number of the literatures in South Jiangsu was the highest, followed by North Jiangsu and Center Jiangsu (P＜0.001). The authors publishing only one article made up 81.51% of the total number of the authors. The literatures with cooperating affiliations made up 12.24% of the total literatures. There were 212 literatures with research sponsorship. The literatures in geriatrics of Jiangsu province covered 39 subjects, and the literatures about cardiovascular diseases accounted for 14.56%. Conclusions Geriatrics in Jiangsu province shows a slow development and an imbalance between different areas and subjects. The core author team does not exist. This suggests that Jiangsu Province should increase the investment, and carry out a large and cooperating researchplan to promote the development of geriatrics in Jiangsu province.
