Abstract

Purpose: Prompted by the clinical concern that limited healthcare resources allocation affects physicians' research productivity, this study examines the association between bibliometric indices of ophthalmologic research and national economic indicators in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries.

Methods: The Scimago Journal and Country rank source was searched for research productivity data in ophthalmology among OECD countries between 1996 and 2019. Bibliometric indices included: documents number, number and percent of citable documents, citations number, citations per document, and H-index. The updated economic indicators of each country (gross domestic product [GDP] per capita, health spending as percent of GDP (health expenditure), gross domestic expenditure on research, and development as percent of GDP [GERD]) were collected from the World Bank and the OECD websites. Correlation between economic and bibliometric metrics and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed.

Results: Among 267,444 documents analyzed, correlation analysis found a strong correlation between health expenditure and H index (r = 0.711, p < 0.001); a moderate correlation between health expenditure and documents number (r = 0.589, p < 0.001), number of citable document (r = 0.593, p < 0.001) and citations number (r = 0.673, p < 0.001); and a moderate correlation between GERD and H index (r = 0.564, p < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis controlling for economic factors, population and language showed the independent association of these parameters with bibliometric indices.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates a positive correlation between bibliometric indicators of ophthalmology research and economic factors, particularly health expenditure, among the OECD countries. Our results suggest an advantage of domestic investment in health to expand academic productivity in the field of ophthalmology.

经合组织国家眼科学术生产力及其与国家经济指标的相关性：文献计量分析。

目的：由于临床上担心有限的医疗资源分配会影响医生的研究生产力，本研究探讨了经济合作与发展组织（OECD）国家眼科研究文献计量指数与国家经济指标之间的关联：方法：在 Scimago 期刊和国家排名中搜索 1996 年至 2019 年 OECD 国家的眼科研究生产率数据。文献计量指数包括：文献数量、可引用文献数量和百分比、被引次数、每篇文献被引次数和H指数。各国的最新经济指标（人均国内生产总值[GDP]、卫生支出占GDP的百分比（卫生支出）、国内研究与发展总支出占GDP的百分比[GERD]）从世界银行和经合组织网站收集。对经济指标和文献计量指标之间的相关性进行了分析，并进行了多元线性回归分析：在分析的 267 444 篇文献中，相关性分析发现卫生支出与 H 指数之间存在很强的相关性（r = 0.711，p r = 0.589，p r = 0.593，p r = 0.673，p r = 0.564，p 结论：这项研究表明，文献计量学指标与卫生支出之间存在正相关：本研究表明，在经合组织国家中，眼科研究的文献计量指标与经济因素（尤其是医疗支出）之间存在正相关关系。我们的研究结果表明，国内卫生投资有利于提高眼科学领域的学术生产力。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
