我们根据论文和专利的产出量，对研究者进行了排名。SciBX是一种周刊，它扫描了50个精选的期刊，以寻找转化医学领域感兴趣的论文。2013年，SciBX强调突出了~200篇研究论文，而这些论文的通讯作者目前所属的研究机构给他们分配了专利；IP Checkups专利分析公司则对这些专利的数量进行了统计。表1和表2分别是最顶尖的资深研究者和青年研究者的排名，这两份排名倾向于支持那些长时间就职于其目前所属机构的研究者们。图1显示了2013年在SciBX中强调突出的论文所在的重点研究领域。在这些被重点突出的论文中，肿瘤领域的论文占主导地位，所占比重约为30%；而其他令人感兴趣的研究领域包括纤维变性与微生物组学。

Top 20 translational researchers in 2013

Abstract  We present a ranking of researchers based on paper and patent output. Patent analytics firm IP Checkups counted patents assigned to faculty members at their current affiliations who were corresponding authors on the ~200 research papers highlighted in 2013 in SciBX, a weekly publication that scans 50 select journals for articles of translational interest. The rankings, of the top senior (Table 1) and junior faculty (Table 2), are biased to favor researchers who have been at their current affiliation for an extended period. Figure 1 shows the area of research focus for papers highlighted in SciBX in 2013. Cancer dominated at nearly 30% of the highlighted papers; other areas of interest included fibrosis and the microbiome.
