Radiology research funding has increased — still no association with citation rate

While AJR articles were more frequently unfunded, and Radiology articles were more often funded, citation rate was not different between funded vs. unfunded; moreover, funding was not significantly associated with citations

Leesburg, VA, September 3, 2020–According to ARRS’ American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), nearly half (47.7%) of the research articles published in major radiology journals declared funding–a proportion that has increased from 17% of articles in 1994 and 26.9% published between 2001 and 2010.

“Most funded articles received support from federal sponsors or nonprofit foundations, whereas only a minority of funded articles were supported by private industry,” explained first author Rayan H.M. Alkhawtani from the department of radiology, nuclear medicine, and molecular imaging at University Medical Center Groningen in The Netherlands.

And as Alkhawtani et al. concluded, “funding was not associated with a higher citation rate.”

The Dutch team included a total of 600 consecutive original research articles published between January and October 2016 in three large journals: AJR, Radiology, and European Radiology. Using linear regression analysis to ascertain the association between research funding and citation rate, adjustments were made for the following seven factors:

  • journal,
  • continent of origin of first author,
  • subspecialty,
  • study findings included in article title,
  • number of authors,
  • immediate open access publication,
  • time since publication online.

Finding that funding was declared in 286 of 600 (47.7%) included articles, the authors of this AJR “Original Research” article identified the six most significant funding sources:

  • federal sponsorship (29.4%),
  • nonprofit foundation (16.4%),
  • both federal sponsorship and nonprofit foundation (16.1%),
  • private industry (10.1%),
  • intramural institutional research funding (9.8%),
  • other combinations of funding sources (18.2%).

“Articles with first authors whose continent of origin was Europe (p

Meanwhile, the team noted that articles published in Radiology were significantly more frequently funded (p

Ultimately, citation rate was not significantly different between funded and unfunded articles (p = 0.166), and in the adjusted linear regression analysis, funding was not significantly associated with citation rate (β coefficient, ?0.31; 95% CI, ?3.27 to 2.66; p = 0.838).

###

Founded in 1900, the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) is the first and oldest radiological society in North America, dedicated to the advancement of medicine through the profession of radiology and its allied sciences. An international forum for progress in medical imaging since the discovery of the x-ray, ARRS maintains its mission of improving health through a community committed to advancing knowledge and skills with an annual scientific meeting, monthly publication of the peer-reviewed American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), quarterly issues of InPractice magazine, AJR Live Webinars and Podcasts, topical symposia, print and online educational materials, as well as awarding scholarships via The Roentgen Fund®.
