Objective:To analyze the characteristics and citations of articles in Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine from 2014 to 2017, and discuss the academic level and quality of the journal. Methods:All the literatures published in Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine from 2014 to 2017 were retrieved through the Chinese Medical Citation index, and the citation frequency data in China′s core journals of science and technology from 2014 to 2018 was obtained through Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China. The citation status of articles published in Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine was statistically analyzed by the scientometric method. The main indicators included the citation rate of articles published in each year, the citation frequency of all articles, the citation status of individual papers and authors, the regional and high-yield institution distribution of cited authors, and the main citation journals. Results:From 2014 to 2017, a total of 929 articles were published in 19 columns of Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine,and the number of each year was 253 (27.23%), 231 (24.87%), 224 (24.11%) and 221 (23.79%), respectively. The total number of published pages was 3 564, and the average number of articles was 3.45 pages. A total of 28 key topics have been published. The total citation was 3 861 times, with 4.16 times per paper. Among them, 161 papers were not cited，accounting for 17.33%. The maximum citation frequency of a single paper was 49 times. There were good citations in the columns of original article and methodology introduction. There was no correlation between fund project support and paper citation. But the cited rate (93.67%) and cited frequency of special issue ［ M ( P25, P75)=3 (1, 6)］ were higher compared with the cited rate (80.42%; χ 2=16.08, P<0.001) and cited frequency ［ M ( P25, P75)=2 (1, 6); Z=2.56, P=0.010] of free-lance articles. A total of 15 authors were cited more than 25 times, and 15 articles were cited more than 20 times. There were 213 institutions involved in the 768 cited papers, among which 12 institutions were cited more than 50 times. The authors of the cited papers were distributed in 28 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government). From 2014 to 2018, a total of 281 journals cited the papers published in our journal, of which 12 journals cited more than 50 times. Conclusion:The quality of the literature in Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine is high and the journal has a strong influence in the field of preventive medicine and public health in China. The editorial department should adjust the column setting timely, strengthen the planning of key topic selection and the solicitation and publicity of excellent papers, reduce the number of papers cited by zero, and further improve the influence of the magazine.

With the acceleration of the population aging in China, the health problems and the demands of health services such as health check-up for rural residents should attract the attention of the whole society. The group standard entitled Health check-up guide for rural residents (T/CHAA 005-2019), was written by experienced researchers from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and other professional institutes coordinated by Chinese Health Association. The standard aims to establish a service model that takes health information collection as a means, health risk assessment, health risk intervention and information services as the core, improving the health of rural residents as the target.

Objective:To systematically understand the reform progress of disease prevention and control system in China.Methods:The literature regarding the reform of China′s disease prevention and control system was searched by using the keywords including disease prevention and control, center for disease prevention and control (CDC), disease control, reform, and system from 2003 to 2020 in China CNKI, Wanfang Data knowledge service platform, VIP information and China biomedical literature database. The language is limited to Chinese. A total of 25 studies were included to analyze the information about the organizational structure, functional orientation, financing mechanism and personnel system of China′s disease prevention and control system.Results:The 25 studies described the specific changes and reform suggestions of China′s disease prevention and control system, including key policies (7 studies), organizational structure transformation (4 studies), institutional function transformation (7 studies), financing mechanism transformation (5 studies), personnel system reform (2 studies), and performance-based salary system reform (4 studies). Meanwhile, the reform suggestions were concluded at the top-level design system reform (two aspects), organization structure (three aspects), functioning (four aspects), and personnel guarantee mechanism (three aspects).Conclusions:This study indicates that there is a lack of empirical evidence regarding specific reform effects and content analysis at the micro level of disease prevention and control system in China. Future study should strengthen the rigorousness of study design and focus on the quantitative impacts of reform implementation in China.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop a comprehensive instrument for evaluating and ranking clinical practice guidelines, named Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings tool (STAR), and test its reliability, validity, and usability. METHODS: This study set up a multidisciplinary working group including guideline methodologists, statisticians, journal editors, clinicians, and other experts. Scoping review, Delphi methods, and hierarchical analysis were used to develop the STAR tool. We evaluated the instrument's intrinsic and interrater reliability, content and criterion validity, and usability. RESULTS: STAR contained 39 items grouped into 11 domains. The mean intrinsic reliability of the domains, indicated by Cronbach's α coefficient, was 0.588 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.414, 0.762). Interrater reliability as assessed with Cohen's kappa coefficient was 0.774 (95% CI: 0.740, 0.807) for methodological evaluators and 0.618 (95% CI: 0.587, 0.648) for clinical evaluators. The overall content validity index was 0.905. Pearson's r correlation for criterion validity was 0.885 (95% CI: 0.804, 0.932). The mean usability score of the items was 4.6 and the median time spent to evaluate each guideline was 20 min. CONCLUSION The instrument performed well in terms of reliability, validity, and efficiency, and can be used for comprehensively evaluating and ranking guidelines.
