 This pilot study investigated the use of bibliometrics to measure the impact of clinical and translational science awards, CTSAs. The authors evaluated data from six CTSAs and compared it with two bibliometric tools from Thomson Reuters and Elsevier. They found that both tools were able to locate a high percentage of publications within their proprietary databases and provide similar but not identical bibliometrics for measuring productivity and influence. Additionally, a recent bibliometric tool from the National Institutes of Health was also assessed and found to have great potential for use in the CTSA context. Despite some limitations, this study suggests that bibliometrics can help us better understand the value of CTSA-supported clinical and translational research. This article was authored by M.
