Summary: This study retrospectively evaluates the impact of a metrics-based system on publication productivity and impact factor in academic radiology. The results show that the implementation of this system was associated with increased publication productivity and impact factor. Faculty members who received research protected time had higher publication productivity and impact factor compared to those who did not.

Summary: Evaluating the quality of scientific articles is challenging, with the commonly used journal impact factor not originally designed for this purpose. Technological advances in the early 21st century have revolutionized scientific publication, indicating a need for more sophisticated tools to assess the quality of scientific literature. Usage data, such as the number of full-text downloads, is a new method that can be used to better evaluate the merit of scientific literature.

Summary: This study investigates the correlation between interdisciplinary research and technological impact, finding that variety and Rao-Stirling have a positive correlation with technological impact while balance and disparity have a negative correlation. The significance of interdisciplinary research in technological impact is more prominent in the long term and varies across different disciplines.

Summary: This meta-research analysis evaluated the publication profiles, impact, and conflicts of interest disclosures of non-research authors who published over 200 papers in high impact scientific journals. The results found that many prolific authors, particularly in the field of COVID-19, had significant influence without much publication in other indexed literature. Only a few authors disclosed potential conflicts of interest. This raises the need for further debate on the power given to non-researchers in shaping scientific discourse and emphasizes the importance of disclosing potential conflicts of interest.

Summary: The Research Project Grant (R01) is an important grant mechanism used by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and being awarded an R01 grant is often seen as a sign of scientific success. A study tracking R01 grants awarded in 2000 found significant variations in the number of publications and citations over the following 20 years, with metrics showing correlations within grants but reflecting success in different domains. When used together, metrics such as publications, citations, and h-indices provide a more comprehensive understanding of the productivity and long-term impact of funded grants.

Summary: This study describes the mutational landscape and outcome of patients with gastroesophageal cancers enrolled in the ProfiLER program. It finds that genomic profiling can identify actionable alterations in a large proportion of patients, and that patients with stage IV disease at diagnosis who have an actionable alteration tend to have longer overall survival.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between intrathecal morphine and enhanced recovery pathways after cesarean delivery. The results indicate that lower doses provide shorter duration of analgesia and higher pain scores. In contrast, a dose of 250 mcg offers longer-lasting pain relief with similar side effects. Both 150 mcg and 250 mcg doses allow a majority of patients to avoid additional opioid use within 72 hours.

Summary: This study evaluates the incidence of self-reported pain and the administration of intravenous medication (IVM) during cesarean delivery. The results show that 11.5% of women reported pain during the procedure, and a proportion of them received analgesic IVM. Risk factors for pain included substance use disorder and intrapartum epidural extension.
