Abstract:
Objective To analyze current status of scientific paper publication in a prefecture-level tertiary hospital over the period from 2018 to 2023 to provide a theoretical basis for the hospital to strengthen scientific research management.Methods A database was established using Excel 2013.Statistical analyses were performed using SAS 9.4 to describe and analyze the volume of publications,their distribution across journals,and the relevant professional disciplines.Chi-square test was utilized for inter-group comparisons,while multiple logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the impact of variables such as au-thor gender,age,educational attainment,and professional title on the likelihood of publishing in high-quality journals.Results Between 2018 and 2023,the hospital staff published a total of 1 019 papers,averaging 170 papers annually.Among these,441 were classified as high-quality papers,which included 144 indexed in SCI,with an average journal impact factor of 4.49 and an average citation count of 6.84 per paper.The Surgery and Anesthesia Center,Oncology Center,and Clinical Medical Research Center,among other key professional disciplines,published the most high-quality journal papers,accounting for 22.68％,while 41 general disciplines accounted for only 46.94％.Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that authors with as-sociate senior professional titles(OR=2.013,95％CI=1.456～2.782),full senior professional titles(OR=2.003,95％CI=1.002～4.004),master's degrees(OR=5.039,95％CI=2.046～12.406),and doctoral degrees(OR=28.242,95％CI=8.201～97.257)had a higher proportion of publications in high-quality journals.An active group of authors initially formed with-in the hospital.Conclusion The proportion of high-quality journal publications from the hospital has shown a consistent annual increase,largely attributed to the contributions of highly educated authors.Nevertheless,the overall volume of publications re-mains relatively low,with disparities evident across various professional disciplines and a low conversion rate of scientific and technological achievements.Furthermore,the quality of SCI papers needs improvement.Continued policy support and institution-al safeguards are required to promote discipline development and talent cultivation,thereby facilitating the sustainable develop-ment of scientific research in the hospital.
