The group Applied Research in Respiratory Diseases from IDIBAPS participates in 1 of the 50 most influential works of the last 10 years with Spanish participation
The international guideline entitled: Infectious Diseases Society of America/American Thoracic Society consensus guidelines on the management of community-acquired pneumonia in adults with 1032 citations is among the 50 most cited articles of the last 10 years with Spanish participation. Prof. Antoni Torres is the national expert of this clinical guideline published in Clinical Infectious Diseases (2007 Mar 1;44 Suppl 2:S27-72.) and in which the following international experts have participated: Mandell LA, Wunderink RG, Anzueto A, Bartlett JG, Campbell GD, Dean NC, Dowell SF, File TM Jr, Musher DM, Niederman MS, Torres A, Whitney CG.
The Centre for Research Survey of the Institute of Catalan Studies (Observatori de la Recerca de l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans)publishes almost half of the most cited researchers in Spain work in Catalonia. IDIBAPS is, with 10 articles, the Catalan center which appears in a greater number of jobs among the 50 most cited papers with Spanish participation. These data confirm once again the significance of Catalan research and IDIBAPS, Hospital Clinic of Barcelona Faculty of Medicine and University of Barcelona leadership.
The data were extracted from Thomson Reuters Essential Science Indicators database, which determines from bibliometric data the influence of researchers, institutions, documents, publications, scientific fields and emerging research areas in 22 countries. Among the 50 documents participated by institutions in Spain collecting a greater number of citations, 36 (72%) have at least one author from geographical areas of Catalan language and culture. In addition, 47.4% of the 78 Spanish researchers involved work in scientific institutions in Catalonia.
