Evidence-based restructuring of health and social care.
Full text linkIn this Perspective, Aziz Sheikh discusses research to evaluate health policy changes in the provision of care, commenting on a study by James Lopez Bernal and colleagues that examined specialist-dominated hospital care versus community-based care in the United Kingdom
The need for standardized reporting of research findings in the field of quality of care
No full textThe fields of healthcare quality and patient safety are not immune to the concerns being expressed across several disciplines about the lack of transparency and reproducibility of research. The use of reporting guidelines is not a panacea, but it can help in promoting more consistent and complete reporting of research findings. This year, we will strongly be encouraging authors of submissions to IJQHC to, where it exists, complete an accompanying checklist of the relevant reporting guideline, and from 2022 we plan to insist on this for all relevant research articles.Fil: Garcia Elorrio, Ezequiel.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
