“…In summary, what we found with regard to reporting quality in the Chinese studies is consistent with a recent systematic review of the quality of Chinese RCTs 142 and a review of reporting quality in leading Chinese medical journals, 126 both undertaken by the Chinese Cochrane Centre. There are initiatives to improve trial conduct and reporting in China, and such initiatives are already having an effect elsewhere, although reporting is still not all that it should be.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeThe Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' . The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research...

“…WoS offers a significant advantage for literature reviews in some particular fields [5,6], especially for efforts to understand overall trends [7,8]. Previous studies have evaluated Chinese neurosurgical publications, but they only focused on local Chinese journals [9] or carried out only superficial research on Chinese neurosurgical publications [10]. The aim of this study was to comprehensively analyze neurosurgical publications in China using the WoS database.…”

Background: Neurosurgery in China has made great progress. The aim of this study was to analyze neurosurgical publications by Chinese authors using the Web of Science database as a way to illustrate the current state of neurosurgery in China. Methods: We searched the Web of Science core database for articles containing "neurosurg*" with or without an author address in "China" to obtain the set of neurosurgical publications in China and worldwide. We then extracted data from the search results to obtain information such as document type, countries/territories, organizations, publication year, title and research area. Then, we analyzed the search results of articles (document type) to generate a citation report. We identified publications by Chinese neurosurgeons that were cited more than 100 times. Results: A total of 165,365 neurosurgical publications were identified. Among them, 10,770 were published by Chinese neurosurgeons. Chinese neurosurgical publications have increased year by year, accounting for 2 % of neurosurgical publications before 2010 and rising to 13 % from 2010 to the present. The most frequent journals for Chinese neurosurgeons differ from the most frequent journals worldwide. We identified 34 Chinese organizations that published more than 100 publications. We also identified 19 studies written by Chinese neurosurgeons that were cited more than 100 times. Basic research represents a large proportion of Chinese publications in this area, while clinical research remains a weak area. Cooperative studies were overrepresented among Chinese studies. Conclusion: While China's publication output in the area of neurosurgery has made great progress, significant room for improvement remains. The next step is to strengthen Chinese neurosurgical clinical studies and improve the publishing environment for Chinese neurosurgeons.
