TL;DR
Cardiovascular health research output has increased substantially in the past decade, with a greater share of citations being published from low- and middle-income countries, and thus require targeted research investments to improve cardiovascular health.
Abstract
Cardiovascular health research output has increased substantially in the past decade, with a greater share of citations being published from low- and middle-income countries. However, low- and middle-income countries with the higher burdens of cardiovascular disease continue to have lower research output than high-income countries, and thus require targeted research investments to improve cardiovascular health.

ScientometricsThe rate of growth in scientific publication and the decline in coverage provided by Science Citation Index
965 Citations2010Peder Olesen Larsen, Markus von Ins
It is problematic that SCI has been used and is used as the dominant source for science indicators based on publication and citation numbers, because the declining coverage of the citation databases problematizes the use of this source.
RadiologyBibliometric Indicators: Quality Measurements of Scientific Publication
813 Citations2010Valérie Durieux, Pierre Alain Gevenois
An overview of the currently used bibliometric indicators is provided and the critical elements and characteristics one should be aware of when evaluating the quantity and quality of scientific output are summarized.
JAMAJournal Prestige, Publication Bias, and Other Characteristics Associated With Citation of Published Studies in Peer-Reviewed Journals
645 Citations2002Michael L. Callaham
The impact factor of the original publishing journal was more important than any other variable, suggesting that the journal in which a study is published may be as important as traditional measures of study quality in ensuring dissemination.
The FASEB JournalComparison of SCImago journal rank indicator with journal impact factor
549 Citations2008Matthew E. Falagas, Vasileios Kouranos +2 more
Although further validation is warranted, the novel SJR indicator poses as a serious alternative to the well‐established journal IF, mainly due to its openaccess nature, larger source database, and assessment of the quality of citations.
Scientific ReportsWorld citation and collaboration networks: uncovering the role of geography in science
289 Citations2012Raj Kumar Pan, Kimmo Kaski +1 more
A systematic analysis of citation and collaboration networks between cities and countries, by assigning papers to the geographic locations of their authors’ affiliations shows that the citation flows as well as the collaboration strengths between cities decrease with the distance between them and follow gravity laws.

In most G-7 nations, however, the quality and quantity of cardiological publications lag behind those of the smaller West-European countries, which may be partly due to differences in funding and/or publication in a language other than English.

Research EvaluationThe definition of biomedical research subfields with title keywords and application to the analysis of research outputs
49 Citations1996Grant Lewison
The importance of title keywords is illustrated by analysis of: output of different countries as a fraction of world total for a subfield; quality and research level of journals used by researchers; and the numbers of citations received by their papers.

15 Citations2011Grant Lewison
Three versions of a ‘filter’ used to identify papers on cancer research, as defined by Cancer Research, UK, and interpreted by four experts, have been compared and in some instances, gave differing indicators of their performance (numbers of papers and citations) which could give conflicting messages for science policy.
