目的：国际研究网络具有通过知识共享和合作加速科学进步的潜力。2018年，美国国家癌症研究所评估了自1988年以来运行的国际癌症筛查网络（ICSN）。方法ICSN每两年举办一次科学会议和科学工作组。对665名ICSN参与者进行了调查，并对ICSN出版物进行了文献计量学分析。结果共243人（36.5%）完成调查。他们报告说，参加ICSN有助于提高他们在癌症筛查研究（75.7%）、政策制定（56%）和实施（47.7%）方面的知识。大约四分之三的人认为，ICSN促进了研究人员和实施者（79.9%）、不同大洲（74.0%）和癌症研究中心（73.7%）之间的知识共享和联系。超过一半的人报告说，参与帮助他们在筛查实施（58.0%）或研究（57.6%）方面建立了新的合作关系。大多数人认为ICSN有助于推进筛查研究和评估（75.4%）、有效的筛查实践（71.2%）和筛查政策（60.9%）。许多人报告说，参与报告了他们自己的研究进展（68.7%）、筛查实施（50.2%）和政策（49.4%）。大约三分之二的人认为ICSN有助于促进现有专家的职业发展（66.6%）和培养下一代（62.2%）。一半（51.4%）的受访者表示，参加培训促进了自己的职业发展。20篇ICSN出版物包括75位共同作者。他们被589篇出版物引用，共有2000多名合著者。结论：研究结果证明了ICSN对国际知识传播、合作以及癌症筛查研究、实施和政策进展的影响，并强调了长期国际研究网络的潜在价值。(C) 2019由美国临床肿瘤学会批准
PURPOSE International research networks have the potential to accelerate scientific progress via knowledge sharing and collaboration. In 2018, the US National Cancer Institute evaluated the International Cancer Screening Network (ICSN), in operation since 1988.METHODS ICSN hosts a biennial scientific meeting and scientific working groups. A survey was fielded to 665 ICSN participants, and a bibliometric analysis was conducted for ICSN publications.RESULTS A total of 243 individuals completed the survey (36.5%). They reported that participating in the ICSN helped advance their knowledge of cancer screening research (75.7%), policy development (56%), and implementation (47.7%). Approximately three-quarters agreed that ICSN facilitated knowledge sharing and networking among researchers and implementers (79.9%) and those working on different continents (74.0%) and cancer sites (73.7%). More than half reported that participating helped them form new collaborations in screening implementation (58.0%) or research (57.6%). Most agreed that ICSN helped to advance screening research and evaluation (75.4%), effective screening practices (71.2%), and screening policies (60.9%). Many reported that participating informed advances in their own research (68.7%) and screening implementation (50.2%) and policies (49.4%) in their settings. Approximately two-thirds agreed that ICSN helped advance career development among current experts (66.6%) and train the next generation (62.2%). Half (51.4%) reported that participating advanced their own careers. The 20 ICSN publications included 75 coauthors. They were cited in 589 publications with more than 2,000 coauthors.CONCLUSION Findings provide evidence of the influence of ICSN on international knowledge dissemination, collaboration, and advances in cancer screening research, implementation, and policies and highlight the potential value of longstanding international research networks.
