Abstract
ObjectiveTo analyze projects completed at the end of 2017 and funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) in the field of skin and its appendages, in order to provide references for preparing concluding reports and making discipline development strategies in the future.
MethodsThe concluding reports of projects completed at the end of 2017 and funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China in the field of skin and its appendages were collected from the Internet-based Science Information System. The achievements were analyzed, including journal articles, patents, talent training and monographs.
ResultsA total of 91 projects were completed at the end of 2017 in the field of skin and its appendages, and the total cost of funds was 43.51 million RMB Yuan. A total of 452 journal articles were published, including 324 articles in the Science Citation Index (SCI) -indexed journals and 42 in the A Guide to the Core Journal of China-indexed journals. Additionally, 0.74 SCI journal article and 0.10 Chinese core journal article could be produced per 100 000 RMB Yuan. The average impact factor of journals publishing these SCI articles was 3.972, and in average, 100 000 RMB Yuan yielded 1 article in the journal with an impact factor of 2.92. Of the 324 published articles, 46 and 102 were published in journals ranked within the first (Q1) and second (Q2) quartile, respectively, by Chinese Academy of Sciences. In all the SCI articles, 14 were published in journals with impact factor of > 10. There were 4 institutions with more than 5 completed projects, and a total of 129 (39.84%) SCI articles were published. Published SCI articles in the field of immune skin diseases accounted for the highest proportion (148/324, 45.68%) . A total of 152 talents were trained.
ConclusionsThe support of NSFC in basic researches in the field of skin and its appendages has led to substantial achievements. More attention should be paid to the writing of concluding reports. Innovation consciousness should be raised, and project leaders should make more original and leading achievements in the future.
