背景：政府资助支持被视为一般实践研究发展的先决条件。 2002 年至 2012 年 2 月，德国推出了金额为 (原文如此) 13.2 Mio 的多项资助计划。我们的目标是提供 2000 年至 2010 年间出版的德国学术家庭医学的原始数据和系统综述的出版物概述。方法：通过搜索 Scopus 数据库并筛选家庭医学部门或研究所的出版物列表来识别出版物。论文必须报告原始的初步研究或系统评论；至少一位作者必须隶属于德国学术家庭医学部门或研究所。结果：纳入 794 篇文章。出版物数量稳步增长，从2000年至2003年的107种，到2004年至2007年的273种，最后到2008年至2010年的414种。第一期以英文出版的出版物不足25%。从2008年到2010年，这一比例增加到60.6%。在没有影响因子的期刊上发表的文章从59.8%下降到31.9%。然而，即使在最近一个时期，也只有 31.6% 的文章发表在影响因子高于 2 的期刊上。影响因子中位数从第一时期的 0 增加到最后时期的 1.2。 结论：在过去十年中，德国学术研究部门和全科医学机构的原创研究出版物的产量大幅增加。然而，德国初级保健研究的专业性仍有待发展。
Background: Governmental funding support is seen as a prerequisite for the growth of research in general practice. Several funding programs in the amount of (sic) 13.2 Mio were introduced in Germany from 2002 to February 2012. We aim to provide an overview of publications reporting original data and systematic reviews from German academic family medicine published between 2000 and 2010.Methods: Publications were identified by searching the database Scopus and screening publication lists of family medicine divisions or institutes. Papers had to report original primary research studies or systematic reviews; at least one of the authors had to be affiliated to a German academic family medicine division or institute.Results: 794 articles were included. The number of publications increased steadily starting from 107 in the period from 2000 to 2003, to 273 from 2004 to 2007, and finally to 414 from 2008 to 2010. Less than 25% were published in English in the first period. This proportion increased to 60.6% from 2008 to 2010. Articles published in a journal without impact factor decreased from 59.8% to 31.9%. Nevertheless, even in the most recent period only 31.6% of all articles were published in a journal with an impact factor above 2. The median impact factor increased from 0 in the first period to 1.2 in the last.Conclusions: The output of original research publications from academic research divisions and institutes for general practice in Germany greatly increased during the last decade. However, professionalism of German primary care research still needs to be developed.
