Abstract:
The 3T road map proposed by Dougherty and Conway views translational research as a continuous process that moves from basic research through clinical (T1),postclinical (T2),and practice-based research and ultimately to health policies,outcomes,and impacts (T3).It can be used as a fundamental framework for evaluating and measuring translational research.The citation networks between publications may reveal translational interfaces,translational path,and translational lag in a specific research field,which can help researchers understand the critical content and road maps during their translational research,and thus accelerate translational medicine during T1,T2,and T3 phases of translational research.Based on the citation networks,we built a two-dimensional model for measuring the process of translational research.
