传统上，研究人员的成功是通过他或她在同行评审、索引、高影响力期刊上发表的论文数量来评估的。这一基本标准，通常被称为特定研究者的影响，是通过使用各种指标来评估的。虽然研究人员可能熟悉这些矩阵，但许多人不知道如何利用它们来提升他们的职业生涯。除了这些指标之外，还应该考虑到一些其他因素，以客观地评估科学家作为研究人员和院士的形象。此外，每个指标都有自己的局限性，在选择适当的指标进行评估时需要考虑这些局限性。本文提供了目前在学术界和研究中使用的各种指标的广泛概述。讨论并定义了流行的指标，包括传统指标和文章级指标，其中一些指标应用于研究人员，以更好地理解特定概念，包括精索静脉曲张，这是本期《亚洲男科杂志》的主题领域。我们建议结合使用定量和定性评估，使用审慎选择的指标，对学术产出和研究影响进行更客观的评估。
Traditionally, the success of a researcher is assessed by the number of publications he or she publishes in peer-reviewed, indexed, high impact journals. This essential yardstick, often referred to as the impact of a specific researcher, is assessed through the use of various metrics. While researchers may be acquainted with such matrices, many do not know how to use them to enhance their careers. In addition to these metrics, a number of other factors should be taken into consideration to objectively evaluate a scientist's profile as a researcher and academician. Moreover, each metric has its own limitations that need to be considered when selecting an appropriate metric for evaluation. This paper provides a broad overview of the wide array of metrics currently in use in academia and research. Popular metrics are discussed and defined, including traditional metrics and article-level metrics, some of which are applied to researchers for a greater understanding of a particular concept, including varicocele that is the thematic area of this Special Issue of Asian Journal of Andrology. We recommend the combined use of quantitative and qualitative evaluation using judiciously selected metrics for a more objective assessment of scholarly output and research impact.
