Quantifying Work02:30

Quantifying Work

19.1K
As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.

Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

11.2K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Measures of Intelligence01:29

Measures of Intelligence

6.5K
Psychologists measure intelligence by using standardized tests that produce a score known as the intelligence quotient or IQ. To understand IQ tests, it's important to recognize the key principles behind their construction: validity, reliability, and standardization.
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. An intelligence test should accurately assess intelligence rather than another characteristic, like anxiety. Criterion validity is one way to evaluate this;...

Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

11.9K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Systematic Sampling Method01:17

Systematic Sampling Method

10.0K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
Systematic sampling is one of the simplest methods...

Methods of Documentation II: POMR01:26

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

917
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Area of Science:

  • Health Sciences
  • Research Management
  • Organizational Development

Background:

  • Conventional evaluation of research activity relies on limited metrics like funding and bibliometrics.
  • This narrow focus restricts comprehensive assessment of research capacity and hinders program enhancement.
  • A need exists for a more holistic approach to measuring research productivity in institutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of literature on measuring research productivity in research institutions.
  • To develop a standardized tool, the Productivity And Capacity Evaluation in Research (PACER) Tool, for assessing research capacity and productivity.
  • To provide a multifaceted instrument for benchmarking, monitoring, and strategic decision-making in research departments.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was performed across multiple databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, ERIC, CINAHL, Google Scholar) using keywords 'research capacity' and 'research productivity'.
  • A scoping review identified 726 relevant articles, with 20 studies included for data extraction after full-text assessment.
  • A Delphi panel of researchers and leaders refined 42 identified metrics into the final PACER Tool.

Main Results:

  • The review identified 42 objective, organization-scaled, and domain-applicable research capacity/productivity metrics across 7 categories: bibliometrics, impact, ongoing research, collaboration, funding, personnel, and education/academics.
  • The final PACER Tool incorporates 31 of these metrics, offering a standardized and multifaceted approach to evaluation.
  • The PACER Tool enables benchmarking, capacity monitoring, and strategic insights for resource allocation.

Conclusions:

  • The PACER Tool offers a comprehensive and standardized method for evaluating research capacity and productivity beyond traditional metrics.
  • This tool supports research departments in strategic planning, resource allocation, and performance monitoring.
  • Implementing the PACER Tool can lead to more effective enhancement and expansion of research programs.
