Bibliometrics approach to evaluating the research impact of CTSAs: A pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To enhance the performance evaluation of Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs, we examined the utility of advanced bibliometric measures that go beyond simple publication counts to demonstrate the impact of translational research output.

Methods

The sampled data included North Carolina Translational and Clinical Science Institute (NC TraCS)-supported publications produced between September 2008 and March 2017. We adopted advanced bibliometric measures and a state-of-the-art bibliometric network analysis tool to assess research productivity, citation impact, the scope of research collaboration, and the clusters of research topics.

Results

Totally, 754 NC TraCS-supported publications generated over 24,000 citation counts by April 2017 with a
