The present paper is to evaluate the scientific research level and development trends of biomedical engineering in China using metrology analysis on Chinese biomedical engineering scientific literatures. Pubmed is used to search the biomedical engineering publications in recent 5 years which are indexed by Science Citation Index, and the number and cited times of these publications and the impact factor of the journals are analyzed. The results show that comparing with the world, although the number of the publication in China has increased in recent 5 years, there is still much room for improvement. Among Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan, Chinese mainland maintains the obvious advantage in this subject, but Hongkong has the highest average cited number. Shanghai and Beijing have better research ability than other areas in Chinese mainland.
Efficient disciplinary management in hospitals plays an important role in improving the level of medical services, promoting talent development, elevating research levels, and enhancing the overall strength of hospitals. At present, large comprehensive hospitals are facing increasingly complex challenges and problems in disciplinary construction and management. Bibliometrics, as a tool for literature analysis and evaluation, can assist hospitals in carrying out disciplinary management. This article explores the application and value of bibliometrics in hospital disciplinary management from the perspectives of disciplinary planning, optimizing resource allocation, evaluating disciplinary level, and exploring hot topics and development trends in disciplinary fields, and hopes to provide reference and ideas for peers.
