Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Bibliometrics
  • Academic Medical Centers

Background:

  • Identifying research-active specialists at academic medical centers is crucial for collaboration and understanding institutional strengths.
  • Traditional methods may not fully capture the scope of a researcher's activity or impact.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of bibliometric analysis in identifying research-active health informatics specialists at two academic medical centers.
  • To compare bibliometric methods with web portal searches of board-certified specialists.

Main Methods:

  • Researchers were identified using publicly accessible websites at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and the University of Maryland-Baltimore.
  • Data collected included publication frequency, citation frequency, grant funding, and patents.
  • Bibliometric analysis was compared against a web portal search of board-certified specialists for informatics and sleep medicine.

Main Results:

  • Different research patterns emerged based on data type; one center focused on bioinformatics and cardiology, the other on nursing and radiology.
  • Bibliometric analysis revealed distinct institutional research profiles across various data sets.
  • The bibliometric approach demonstrated superior recall and precision compared to the specialist directory search.

Conclusions:

  • Bibliometric analysis is a valuable tool for identifying research-active specialists and understanding institutional research focus.
  • This method offers a more comprehensive and precise approach than directory-based searches for evaluating research activity.
  • The findings highlight the utility of bibliometrics in academic medical center research profiling.
