2010 AnnuAl REpoRT - Ciberdem

Research results
Publications
In 2010, CIBERDEM published a total of 117 scientific
papers in journals ranking in the first and second quartile
of their speciality. The total number of articles published
was higher than this, but here we refer only to those of the
first and second quartiles.
Of these 117 papers, 80% (93) were published in journals
in the first quartile of their speciality and of these 40% (46)
appeared in journals in the first decile.
The total impact factor was 710.901 (source: ISI Web of
Knowledge), which yields an average impact factor of
6.076. If we take as an indicator the field of endocrinology
and metabolism in the ISI Web of Knowledge, the first
decile corresponds to 6.209 points, which attests to the
degree of scientific excellence attained by CIBERDEM in
the year 2010.
In comparison with previous years, CIBERDEM not only
consolidated its scientific results, it also increased them
and improved them in terms of excellence and quality, both
globally and in each separate scientific area.
Also worthy of note is the increase in the number of scientific
collaborations generated by CIBERDEM: 2010 saw a total of
20 articles published in collaboration with other researchers,
an increase of 50% on the figure for 2009.
CIBERDEM also consolidated its collaboration with other
CIBERs, the most tangible result being the publication of
indexed articles, 26 of them with other CIBERs (CIBEROBN,
CIBERER, CIBEREHD, CIBERSAM, CIBERESP).

Impact Factor Average IntraCIBER Publications
The graphs clearly show the increase in CIBERDEM’s scientific productivity.
While the number of articles published increased slightly,
their quality and scientific impact did so significantly in 2010, which
confirms CIBERDEM’s trend towards excellence and prominence
on the international scene. 2010 also saw a definite increase in the
number of articles published as the result of collaboration between
different CIBERDEM research groups, this thanks to the synergies
built up over the years of the consortium’s existence.
