[Publication outcome of research funding by the Danish Heart Foundation 1988-1990].
The aim of the survey was to analyse the investment by the Danish Heart Foundation in the cardiovascular research field in the period 1988-1990 and the ensuing research results. One hundred and thirty-nine researchers were allocated a total DDK 24.1 million. Eighty percent of the researchers have concluded their research work and published 362 scientific papers in 131 journals. The total journal impact factor obtained among 270 scientific papers with known journal impact factor was 642. The median journal impact factor was 1.580. Thirty-five percent of the papers were published in journals with journal impact factor greater than three. The productivity, defined as total journal impact factor obtained divided by an estimate of the total amount (DKK 200 million) of economic support received by the researcher from all sources, was estimated to 3.2 Journal Impact Factor/DKK million. A panel of international experts reviewed the outcome of funding by the Danish Heart Foundation, and concluded that the number of publications and their impact factor was adequate in relation to the economic input.
